How To Pick Wall Color For Living Room. Need help for selecting a wall color for my living roomkitchen. Turquoise navy blue and black in rooms with white or off-white base colors have been really popular for my clients lately.
Whatever color you choose for the walls in your living room will act as a supporting player to the rest of the color scheme. For a quieter ambience make sure your colors are not extremely bright. Decide on a color that will be your main color throughout the home and use it as the wall color for your hallways foyer and connector or main living space.
Complementary colors are those that lie opposite each other on the color wheel that means theyre visually balanced although the high contrast may be more drama than you want in a room.
The key is to not let one color overtake the other. Follow the 60-30-10 rule. A warm color brings a wall closer so painting the back wall darker visually squares off the room. For cool tones consider light gray pale blue sage green or a lavender-toned gray for an allover wall color.
