Please specify Color and Shade and if possible a sample of it along with the paint name/code. I would be repainting my room by Thursday.

Dark green, but leave the ceiling a lighter color.

a light blue. Because what happens is that when you use light colors, the room feels bigger, while if you paint it a dark shade, it starts to feel cramped for some reason. It's a really odd thing that happened when my old youth group down in california went through when they painted the room a dark blue, it just seemed a lot smaller and stuffy then it did before the dark blue.

Yes, this is why the man caves were originally called THE DEN. I'm one of the people that likes the closed in feeling most of the time. Especially if it's a room I don't want other people in. If it's a public area where your friends will be in then lighter colors will make it less stressful.

This has to do with this... sorta~.

My walls are light green and my ceiling is blue with clouds on it! It's so awesome everyone should have a room like that!

I would, except I live in an apartment, so I can't paint my walls and ceiling... and even if I could, my ceiling is one of those crappy ceilings that have the bumps and stuff in it instead of a nice smooth ceiling.

Mine's textured too but that's cause we spongepainted the clouds!~

Vermilion. It's a kind of red. You actually can't get true vermilion, as it is the oxide of mercury, and thus highly toxic. But it looks so cool! It is to red what cobalt is to blue imho. I want to paint my room that color.

NARUNIK · « **Reply #10 on:** November 02, 2009, 06:54:05 pm »

SCARLET AND GRASS GREEN.

jaybug · « **Reply #11 on:** November 02, 2009, 08:29:04 pm »

I like that blue, it is a nice color, not to dark, but not bright, it's easy on the eye's.

superjaz · « **Reply #15 on:** November 02, 2009, 09:14:47 pm »

it also depends on what kinda feel do you want your room, red is a warm color, blue is a cool color, yellow bright energetic feel

me i go for bluey things in my room (bed spread n such) for the cool /sleepy feel, sadly can't color my walls, wait i might be able to but i would have to color them back right after..i think...might need to check lease

Blue has the most calming effect on the human eye, or you can go with the more neutral Tope if you want to blend or WHITE if you want to geel mroe spacious then it really is.

I know one, how about highlighter yellow... Something so damn bright, you need sunglasses while it's dark.
