What color should I paint my walls?

My room now is Baby Blue. I have a black desk and Malm (IKEA) bed and dresser. What color should i paint my walls because I'm getting tired of it...What color should I paint my walls?
Apple Green or Lily Lavender from Benjamin Moore.What color should I paint my walls?
play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to help you imagine how the colors will look together. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family %26amp; color name, the ';painted'; rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think ';ivory lace'; (# 7013) might be a good choice for the wall color.





You can take a photo of your house %26amp; upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions %26amp; for $5 they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
If you paint them a light or medium shade of grey, they'll be trendy and modern. The best part is you can make your decor pop by accenting with vibrant colors and you can change the look of your room simply by rotating the accessories. Some terrific accent colors include: lime green, azalea pink, turquoise blue, red, yellow, lavender or purple.
Well, I personally like blue and chocolate brown, if your tired of baby blue you could paint a couple of walls brown and it will make for a more modern and older-looking room. Or you could paint two walls bright green if you like bright colours.


You could try wall paper like these:

^^ I love this one. It is blue with a touch of brown and some wild zebra prints to spice it up a bit. I like the circles on the wallpaper too.





If you like BRIGHT colours you could try all sorts of things


-Purple


-Red


-Orange


-Green


-Yellow


-Pink





Some combinations that might look good are





-Pink and orange


-Green and blue


-Orange and red.





If you want to do a combination you could have one colour on the top half of the walls, a white stripe in the middle then another colour on the bottom. Or you could put painting tape in the shape of an X on your walls then paint the top and bottom halves of the X one colour and the left and right a different colour.





If your into darker, less vibrant colour you could try these:


-Deep red


-Brown


-Tan


-Grey


-Black


-White


-Dark blue


-Teal


-Dark purple


-Light purple


-Gold


Some combinations could be


-Red and tan


-Black and white


-Teal and brown


*Any of the colours with white and grey!*





have fun with it.

You say you have a black dresk. Red goes very well with black. Paint your walls red and have black and white furniture and bed covers. Those colors look great together!
Try a taupe or cactus sage. Both will set off the coloration of your furniture and are easy to accessorize with this years new fashions and colors.
How about green? Its a soothing color and I think it goes well with the furniture you have I have a Malm bed and dresser too :)
Try some kind of Purple! That would look nice!
orange or green .. if you like bright colors.
green , like the yahoo answers toolbar.
a warm pea green
