HELP!!!!!....What color should I paint my walls?

I am repainting my office...it is a professional office that has clients come in from time to time. The problem is .... it's boring. The walls (flat) and trim (semi gloss) are white, The carpet is an industrial office type grey with black in it (but not overpowering), the cabinets are black, the chairs are black and the desks are black with dark brown faux wood grain tops. Sounds great, doesn't it? Any suggestions? I would like to keep it professional looking.HELP!!!!!....What color should I paint my walls?
this would look kinda of boring but i think the best color is white!


i thought about it,and it has a lot of dark and light colors ...white would also keep the professional look.HELP!!!!!....What color should I paint my 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 ';zeus'; (# 7744) 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.
With all that black, I think a light aqua or teal shade would look great. Something like this:

I would choose a blue shade. Blue is a relaxing paint color, so for both you and the clients, that's a good thing! Here are a whole bunch of shades of blue, you can choose from:

Personally, I like the darker grayish, greenish blues at the bottom of the page. :) Those shades would go really well with dark furniture.
use any of these colours or all of them


silver


black


white


gray


little amount of brown , if needed


but don't use babish colours
With all the black and grey (assuming your not going to totally remodel) You could always go with a silver color paint.





But if there is enough wood (f aux or otherwise) you could use a chocolate milk color paint.


Flat of course.


Flat paint tends to make rooms look bigger and warmer.


Additionally, instead of using a different color for the cieling you could just have the wall paint tinted a few shades lighter then the walls.
I am a fan of grey walls with silver, black, and red accents and wood furniture.
