I used 3 colors in my sewing room which has a half vaulted ceiling. I used Sage, on the upper third of the walls and ceiling, Sea Foam on the rest of the walls, and then I put a dark 6" green stripe around the entire room. I painted my cabinets Sage with dark green doors. My hubby put lots of lighting in and we used daylight bulbs for the lighting. Love my sewing room!
