What color should I paint my quilting room?
#23
Mine I just painted last year with a color from Lowes called "Winter in Paris" I brought home paint samples hung them up in the room and then picked the one that didn't clash with fabric colors. It is a gray - very subtle green color. I am really happy with it.

Just my opinion.

My sewing room is a pale yellow with white trim and a white counter. I have a nice big window and call it my "Happy Room"! So whatever makes you feel good is what I would go for. I love bright cheery...soft greens are supposed to be relaxing. I wouldn't worry too much about how the fabric looks as long as the room isn't dark and You are comfortable!

I know you said you don't want to go with bright colors, but had to put in my two cents. My sewing room is painted a bright sunny lemon yellow and I love it. I don't have any trouble matching colors because I have a good light above my table. Since I spend a lot of time in this room, I wanted it to be a nice cheerful color.

I did mine in a blue - I call it Maui blue since it reminds me of Hawaiian waters. It is calming and peaceful...however, it doesn't calm me when frustrated with a sewing problem!
I went to the paint dept. and picked out all the colors that I liked...just what drew me in...and then I brought them home and thought about them in that setting. Most were tossed immediately then I considered the flooring and picked one.
