Answer 1

dark tan

Answer 2

Go with a color that matches the trim in the room. If there is no trim (shudder), nothing is wrong with a nice white wall plate. Under no circumstances should you put up anything that is brass, or mirrored. The 80's ended 20 years ago.

Answer 3

Forrest Green would do. Or you can paint a cover with the Egyptian Nile and use that.

Answer 4

I have always used metal plates for light switches and plug in's. It is easier to match a metal finish than a paint. That way, you can match it to the hardware on your furniture and curtain rods. It sort of pulls the room together.

Answer 5

They make clear switch plates, but I don't know if that's what you want. What color are your base boards? You could match those. I can't really say without knowing what the rest of the room looks like. Good luck.

Answer 6

Get a brushed nickel light switch. It will look fantastic with that color.

Answer 7

i paint right over my switch covers with the wall paint. you dont really want them to stand out. after all they're not a decorative feature.

Answer 8

What color is your molding and ceiling?

Do you want contrast or something that will complement?

Earth colors will work with your Egyptian black

Answer 9

I like brass with that, but you could also get a switch cover that matches your baseboards.

Answer 10

i would probably get a nice cream off white switchplate to go with it
