What color are the walls in your house?

I don’t know what’s up with the cam phone, but here’s the little guy’s room. It’s all blurry, but there’s a rocketship and stars. I put glow in the dark paint on top of it, too. (The room is lighted, but my camera apparently doesn’t know that.) The alien you see in the window is a cut-out that my son made.

What color are my walls at home???

Padded…

White.

We have wallpaper up to about 2 meters, then white plaster the short rest of the way up to the ceilng. An indeterminate pattern but generally peach color. Brownish tiles in the kitchen.

Previous owner of my house put up paneling everywhere. I have painted over a lot of it.

Front hall is bright canary yellow. Living/dining off the hall is light avocado green. I love it, just enough colour to be a colour, but still soothing. Kitchen is white - came with the house and I haven’t changed it. I painted my bedroom a medium gray. Looks better than I thought and picks up the blue in my bedding. Bathroom is tiny and cramped and I painted the walls black with lots of white trim. Nothing but a major reno will make the bathroom look good, but the black and white looks ok and is an improvement over the turquoise blue the previous owner had.

I live in a colorful funky old house. The entryway is bright yellow, which looks sharp with the black and white tile floor. The living room is a deep-bright rusty red. My bedroom is a sunny orange. The bathroom is lime green. Another bedroom is bright turquoise. I’ve forgotten the other rooms, but they are pretty colorful, too.

I like it!

Living room - top half a very very pale gray. Bottom half is wallpapered a silvery beige.white.tan formal floral motif. Very subtle. Dining room same idea, wallpaper on bottom half same-but-different and top half a wonderful chalky pale adobe orange that looks beautiful when the sun hits it once a day. Kitchen an orange sherbert. All of upstairs my favorite color, sky blue, including the bathroom. Master bedroom: wallpapered in a white/light blue/little flowers shiny ribbon old fashioned hatbox (or candy box) stripe. Other bedroom: a deep purple-slate blue. I wanted neutral and subtle because we have at least 30 nicely framed prints to show off, and our dusty old neutral toned furniture blends in well so you can hardly see it. I don’t really like bright or primary colors. Red makes me go all stabby!

Earth Gray and Partridge Gray with white trim and moldings throughout.

Each room has at least one accent wall in a jewel tone. The living room/dining room and hallway are three shades of red. One set of walls is a pale pink, another is a mauve, and the last is maroon. One bedroom is peach and coral, the other, the Carrbean room, is teal and seafoam.
The basement was gray and red, but we had major water damage, so new colors are in the offing. I’m leaning toward mustard, but I have to wait for carpet to decide.

When we bought the house, hubby had never lived with anything but off-white and beige. When I started picking out colors, he looked at me with tears in his eyes, and said. “You have my heart, don’t paint over it.” He loved the colors as soon as he saw them on the walls.

Kitchen/family room = white because the cabinets are brick red with black doors and dark granite counter tops.

Living room and dining room = sage green w/white trim

Hall way = eggshell (needs painting!)

Ledzepkid’s room = bottom half of walls are dark tan w/sand effect, top half are light tan, ceiling is cream, trim is dark brown…he picked these colors

Spare room = pale grey w/hint of lavender with dark purply blue trim

Master bedroom = one focus wall is red, other three walls are pale peach, ceiling is cream. Looks way better than it sounds.

Bathrooms are both eggshell and need painting

We like color.

Lettuce. Shy. Satorini Bisque. Cumberland Fog. Swiss Coffee. Pale Clover. Silver Screen. Buckskin. These are the ones off the top of my head. I love paint names!

Green. Pink. White. Blue. White. Green. Gray. Beige.

Most are white, a few are pale blue (nice, if a little too pale, so they look white most of the time), the bathroom is a hideous yellow that I have no idea WHY it was picked.

Living room: a bluish blue-green. Dining room: a greenish blue-green. Kitchen: gray. Bedroom: bluish purple. Bathroom: green. Other two bedrooms (rarely used) are both off-white.

Kitchen/dining room was recently redone, caramel butterscotchy colored walls, pale tan marbley tile back splash and muddy brown earth toned flooring.

Living room is brick on the bottom and beige on top and ceiling, with a wallpaper border at the divide that incorporates both colors. The landing and hallway leading off it are the same beige.

Spare room is light blue on two walls, and the other two are striped in big one foot stripes with that and a slightly darker hue of the same color.

Office is green pepper green. Really, that’s what it was called.

Kid’s room is stark white with a midnight blue ceiling. If you have a light fixture that reflects up, as opposed to a ceiling fan light type that aims down, you get a lovely cast of the ceiling color onto the white walls.

Master bedroom is a marble effect batch of gentle yellows, achieved with the old wall magic painting kit.

Downstairs bathroom is in natural browns and beige using the same wall magic technique.

Upstairs bathroom is plain white because we’ve been too lazy to decide what to do there.

Camel. It’s “wheat” with a punch. Looks almost leathery on the walls and goes well with warm colors, which your wife must like or she wouldn’t be considering the watered-down wheat.
If not, go with whatever she wants. Women “line the nest.” If you don’t let her you’ll pay the price. :wink:

When I was a teenager, my mother took on a multi-year project to paint all the walls of all the rooms in our (huge) house. For the dining room, she chose antique white, which has all the good boring qualities of plain white but without the annoying brightness. For the living room, she chose antique white. For the sewing room, she went really wild and chose antique white. When it came time to do my bedroom, I begged and pleaded with her to choose any color but antique white. She reluctantly agreed. She came home with gallons of a color called sand, which has the remarkable quality of being even more boring than antique white. I still think it’s a miracle I didn’t shoot myself before I finally got away.

Varying from light brown to black. They’re natural wood. I live in a log cabin. Best possible color for walls.

I do, too! Nail polish names (OPI), fashion color predictions for the next year, lipstick names…I ran down the battery on my laptop one evening reading a chart of hundreds of color names at some website for, I dunno, web colors? Like a dark navy blue was called ‘Might As Well Be Black’, or ‘Old Bruise’…wish I could find that chart again.

Wood :smiley:

(I live in a log cabin)

Before this, our condo had white walls and ceilings in every single friggen room. It drove me crazy. My boyfriend insisted on white walls. Ugh. So boring. So ugly. I finally convinced him that some green would be nice. The green he picked out was a pale mint color so light that it looked…white. :rolleyes:
The benefit to living in a log house is that we will only ever have to fight about wall color again when we paint the bathroom - the one room without wood walls.

Cool! I was actually just thinking this would make a neat thread.

My living room and dining room, which flow together, are kind of a light ash brown. It is fairly neutral, without being white.

My kitchen is pumpkin spice with maple cabinets and floors. I love it!!

We have three bedrooms – The master bed & bath are a really pretty sage green. All of our furniture and colors in there are cherry reds and chocolate browns. My daughter (age 6) has a cheery yellow room. As a baby she had sage bedding, and we’ve just never changed her room color yet. My niece, who was 15 when she moved in, got to pick, and she went with three pink walls and a chocolate wall, to match her striped bedding. It’s cool for a teen, but we will probably change it sometime now that she is grown and gone.
The main bathroom is a nice pretty blue. Kind of a baby boy blue I guess, not as light and pastel as sky blue. We used the chocolate and cherry red, with tan as accents, for everything in the room.

Downstairs we have a family room that is a deep red, a golden half-bath, and a gym that has two sunny yellow walls and two sky blue walls!
