What color should I paint my walls? The tiles are hunter green and have white and black marble designs.

Question

I am remodeling a basement to become an apartment. Like I said the tiles are marble green, whick I find difficult to match with paint. I do know that I am having a wood look wiith the apartment. I have two bookshelves that are mohagany (they were a gift) and some room dividers that are a black wood. I am having such a difficult time finding colors to match all this.....PLEASE HELP!

And I cannot change the tiles (long story)

Answer 1

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think it would look terrific to contrast the tiles with a muted violet like "ponder" (# 7079).

You can also take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions & they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

Answer 2

light yellow or light brown...i think this color matches the green tiles
