what color would you paint my living room?

[Knucklehead]

It's hard to say w/o pics of the space,and I didn't get the designer gene, but it sounds like you may be safe with a shade of green,browne,or tannish??

so, wtf color can I paint the walls to go with purple/green/brown?

White.

It's got to be white.

You must have four walls so one day-glo yellow, one electric blue, one lime green and the fourth shocking pink!

If you have big windows, high ceilings, enough art for the walls, and a bit of formal character to the place, you could go something like black on the walls and it would tie in really well.

Lemon Chiffon.

Maybe you can go over there, take a quick photo of the room and post it here?

I would go with a shade of white for the living room based on the colors you posted. Maybe a cream color or ivory.

 

[mykincal]

personally, I'd start by throwing that purple shit OUT

I wouldn't paint your living room, because I'm not your friggin' handyman. Paint your own damn living room.

Maybe like a moss or tea green...

If the furniture is already colourful, keep the walls white.

Kill Bill. so, yellow, red and black? I like more than one wall color in a room. The trick is how you divvy it up. Think about how the furniture will be placed against your color picks. When you look at paint, get samples to try on the wall and compare to your stuff. Doing that can take you places you never thought you go.
so be open minded and have fun...

I vote for white or maybe some shade of grey would work also.

Love the poster! Your Aunt has given you a great oppertunity to play and live with colors. Don't go neutral, it is just paint, you can change it and you won't live there forever.

For me, magnolia

From my many hours of watching Designed To Sell on HGTV...I'd say cream or tan with white trim.

And buy pillows and art work with all the furniture colors in them.

Having said that: I did NOT get the gay decorating gene. I like blue, so I have a lot of blue.

 

[guesshoo]

I personally wouldn't paint anything or plan on anything long term....I mean a 90 year old great aunt !...... Now if you have some type of written agreement or something firm standing that you won't be without a place to live if anything happens to her....then maybe.... and only maybe....but that's me...lol

You should go with something neutral.

Not white though, it's too bright for that stuff. The best thing to do is take a photo, and then use a photo-editing program to colour your walls to see how you like it.

I'd try a light beige/tan colour.

 

[freefall]

Baby blue. Light grey. Or ivory white.

 

[JustWes]

Goldenrod.

 

[JASON0980]

I would go with charcoal gray and white trim. and I would at least reupholster the purple.
