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.
