What's a good color to paint an underground, window-less office?

Answer 1

In a windowless office lighting is just as important as color…
Fluorescent lights, which have a long life and low energy use, now come in many different shades from warm to cool – perfect for general lighting…
Accent lighting to show off artwork or collections on display choose Incandescent lighting to provide soft, warm yellowish light…
For Task lighting at desk and work stations the best choice is Halogen, they produce a crisp white light.
Be sure to include the 3 light sources….


Make the room feel bigger, inviting & comfortable - very light & white greens are a good choice for a office space - using light colors from one color family makes spaces feel more roomy… bring a little of the outdoors, add some low light plants, scenic art work…

To energize the space try eggshell or light flesh tone color paint on the wall with bright color accessories…

I'd buy some a couple of those mirrors which are framed to look like windows. That can create an illusion of open space.
