My sewing room is my family room and so it is light blue with white trim and a whole wall of white cabinets.

As much as I love bright colours, I must admit my sewing room has neutral colour walls, and they will be staying that way. When I pin something up on the wall, or hang it over a rail, nothing competes for my attention, it's a neutral background.

I wouldn't go for pure white, it's too clinical and cold. But a variation of white, something just off white, is a good idea.

My walls are pale blue and it works well, though it is a big room and a very high ceiling (which is white) She is correct about the yellow. Though I don't htink that I would do white

The walls in my room are tangerine. NOT my choice. We rent, so we deal with what is here.
In the room I had, before I swapped rooms, it was a rosy mauve.

My sewing room is a medium tan color with a rose tint. Very relaxing and I have no conflict with matching colors. I sure wouldn't pick stark white. Get a color you are comfortable with. Then watch your sewing, not the walls!

While I am a fan of bright colors, for a sewing room I prefer a very soft beige
neutral, doesn't affect the color of a project you may be working on. I know that yellow, in particular reflects back on everything in the room, giving it a "golden tint". The brighter the yellow, the more reflection. Likewise pink will give a rosy tint on reflected surfaces.

I would pick a color that would make me feel good being in the room. One that would make me feel inspired, but not overwhelming. 8)

I have pink wallpaper, doesn't bother me at all, still can see what colors I'm sewing on just fine. Stick with what you like, you will be in there a lot hopefully.

I have yellow walls. Nice and cheery! My fabric colors look the same to me in any room.
