What color should I do my room in? |

I think I would really like some black and white with an accent color. Or maybe something totally different.
Or should I just wait until I move out to get all new stuff?

I have three white walls with an accent wall that is Surfer by Behr. I like it.

This is what I did. I went down to a store that sells paint and took a bunch of those little paint chips or samples or whatever you call them. Then just stuck
them on my wall. Then slowly over a number of weeks, I'd remove theones that I didn't like until I was down to the one I did like. I ended up with a
shade or two lighter than eggplant.

I like that Samantha! Very pretty.
I was thinking either pink (but that seems a little cliche or something), yellow, or an eggplant type color. Now blue seems nice too.

Just go to Home Depot or such. Home Depot has Behr, BTW. Just get some paint chips. It took me a long time to decide on Surfer, but I'm glad I did.

My room is a medium shade gray and I LOVE it. I know it sounds weird, but it's my favorite color. I love how any art or anything that I hang on the walls
really stands out.

That's cool, what website is that from?
I still can't decide between pink/eggplant/yellow/blue.  And now red sounds cool too!

That sounds really cool. It's a great neutral, you just have to hunt for the right shade if you want a true gray (not one with blue or purple or green
tones).
