Public Study on Preference of Color

Please read the following situation and answer honestly. Thank you for your time. :) L.

If you were put into a white room...
You could paint one wall any one color...

Would you even paint the wall at all?
What color would the wall be?
Why did you choose that color?

Does the room have any windows?
If so, is there a lot of day light?
If not, is there a lot of incandescent or fluorescent lighting?

How does the room make you feel?
What will you use that room for?

  1. I would go for a earth tone, like beige or a light camel. Earth tones give me a feeling of warmth.

    Now, if I were to go bold, I would choose sky blue, again pulling from nature. Blue to me is a cool, calm and cheerful color. I am considering painting my office blue since I spend sooo much time in here. My office in my old house was blue, loved the way the color made me feel. Currently, my office is a harvest gold color. I can say that I felt more energetic with blue. Think I'm going to change this color.

    Yes, this imagined room has lots of windows!! Natural lighting is a must for me. I don't mind incandescent, soft lighting. If fluorescent lighting went away today, I would not miss it!

  2. I would paint all the walls, macadamia nut, light taupe.

    Light taupe makes me feel settled, warm and invited.

    A room with windows would be WAY bright, I love curtains opened and sunshine flowing in the room.
    With no windows, light in corners to make a space cozy, I don't like, in your face electrical lights.

    Happy. I would use that room and all my rooms for whatever function they have been arranged to accomplish.

    I agree with Jenna, cannot stand fluorescent lighting. I have it currently in my kitchen and it is the energy saver to boot. It takes forever to fully light and I feel like I am in a bad horror movie.

    Yes, Gray. It's a soothing and relaxing color. It has many windows but with window coverings to adjust light. No fluorescent lights. Natural light is preferred.
