which paint to use?

Question

i am painting the kids room, i am using sky blue and ocean blue for the boys room but am not sure which to use for the girls room.
either: rose pink, daffadil yellow, light purple or violet.
which do you think?

Answer 1

You could try a pale lilac. Girls love this colour

Answer 2

What is your daughters age & personality? And, would she benefit from color therapy? In other words, is she an under-achiever who would benefit from the directed energy benefit of a peach color? Or, is she an over-achiever who gets herself tied up in knots if she gets a B instead of an A on a test? If so, a calming sage green might be helpful.

If she is a tomboy she may not appreciate the pink or purple. If she's a late sleeper, who's has difficulty getting going in the morning than yellow would be a good choice, whereas purple or violet would not.

My point is: choose a color based on her personality and characteristics. An internet search of 'color therapy' should help you make your choice.

I repainted my office two years ago and utilized the theories of color therapy before making my color choice, and am really glad I did ... what a difference the right color choice makes.

Good luck!

You can use all those colors in the girl's room. Paint the walls either light purple and use the other colors to accessorize or paint the walls a light green and bring in picture, mural(s), and other outdoor qualities to the room. All the colors you mentioned reminded me of soft english garden. You can even go to a home depot or lowes and get a small piece of picket gate and make a head board out of it.

Answer 4

I would use light purple if you want a soothing room and yellow for a more upbeat look. I think your little girl will get sick of pink quicker than the other colors (depending on her age of course, most girls go thru a phase where they hate pink!).

Answer 5

No real offense, but this kind of Q comes up way too often.

You won't get any right or wrong answers here, only personal opinions and preferences. What works for one, may not work for another.

Get a color wheel, or chip sample booklet. Get 1/2 pint sample cans if need be, paint a patch. live with it, and decide. You're the one who has to live with your choices.

After applying thousands of gallons of paint, I know this much,,,The customer is ALWAYS right,,,even when they aren't.

The good news is that paint can be painted over.
