What are some good color choices to paint the bedroom walls?

The furnishings are chocolate brown and gold. The carpet is currently a beige shade but that is going to be changing to a brown shade.What are some good color choices to paint the bedroom walls?
play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to help you imagine how the colors will look together. 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 %26amp; color name, the ';painted'; rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think ';honeydew'; (# 6428) might be a good choice.





You can take a photo of your house %26amp; upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions %26amp; for $5 they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.What are some good color choices to paint the bedroom walls?
I don't know if this will help (it's Australian) but you can play around with it and get some great colour combination and ideas for specific rooms of the house, You can change the colours of the furnishings also, you just click around and see what you come up with. Maybe your paint store could colour match the paints? It saves buying small sample paint pots.

We have dark furniture so we used a ';new'; white, which really isn't a white, but it is very neutral, so if I change the soft furnishings it's not going to matter.





Have fun painting!!!
I think khaki would be a great color or a bit darker than khaki, like a taupe. Martha Stewart has great colors and the color swatches have other colors (accent colors) that coordinate with the shade you choose.


It sounds like you have chosen relaxing colors.
For wall colors I'd suggest one of the following (depending on your personality):





Soft blue/turquoise


Soft lilac


Minty green


Soft yellow





Accent with the color you chose, as well as golds and bronzes to add ambiance to the room (cushions, pottery, etc) :)

A few ideas.


Butter Cream, Sahara Sand, or a very light rose tint. The first will add light, the second is neutral, the rose, a warm look and feel.
a cream, lilac , Ivory, bluish gray, olive green or reddish Burgundy.


you want something that will stand out from your brown furnishings, but wont be super crazy
then any shade of white, tan, or a light blue, possibly. don't do any color too crazy that you'll regret later.
a brown or a cream colour i think would go nice
