studio paint



when we moved into my new studio space 3 or so years ago, i painted it before we moved anything in so that it would be a smooth transition and i could unpack everything right away. well, i've hated the paint color since the day i put it up. however, since i was moving an entire u-haul truck of stuff in the next day, there was no time to repaint. so here we are 3 years later with the same horrid color on the wall.

above are some new options and i'd love your opinions. the brown color is on some trim in the room, so really not a lot. the raspberry color is on one small wall in the office. both of these colors are ones i chose, and ones i'd like to keep. the new color i'm choosing to replace will go on the other 3 walls of the office. since the raspberry color is on the dark end of the spectrum, i would like something rather light on the other walls. the fist option is a light yellow. i though this would be nice since my studio has essentially no windows. the second is actually just a lighter version of the blue in my logo, and the third is a nice neutral grey. what do you think? which would you choose?

I love the first one. It is bright and cheerful, but still mellow enough that I wouldn't find it distracting while I was trying to work.

Fun project! I love the first one too. I used to have a room that shade of yellow and it was my favorite room in the house.

I'd go grey! I just painted my main living area and bedroom in 2 soft greys and I absolutely love it. So calming.
