If you wanted to paint an office... what colour? UPDATE

Mine is a mid tone green. I would probably do gray walls with color accents if I redid it.

I recently painted my office Wickham Gray by Benjamin Moore. I'm happy with it. It's crisp and clean against white trim, it's light enough that the room feels bright, and it's neutral so I can easily change the look with accessories in different color schemes.

As a bonus, if I used the room for crafts, it is light enough that it doesn't cast any unexpected tones on things in here. Colors look true. Using colors that are too warm or bold will often have that problem.

My office is a pale pale lilac. It's very pretty. It doesn't look purpley at all. Very crisp.

I have a pretty glass plate that's a kiwi green that looks gorgeous in there.

I did a bright yellow then white washed it to soften the brightness of it. I did yellow because it's a cheerful color and keeps me awake..LOL

Apple green sounds nice. Also a pale blue would be pretty. I have always liked the pale blue and dark brown combo.
You would make one wall a statement wall and put a more bold color on that one and something more mellow on the other walls.

Good luck! Please post pics of what your pick!

I generally don't like "real" colors on walls. I prefer a neutral backdrop like gray, beige or white so that the walls kind of recede and the art and furniture pop.

Duck egg blue, I love that colour

Nice color.  My sister is doing some renovating.  I'll have to show her this picture.

I would recommend you also get the smallest size paint they will mix up once you decide. Paint it in one foot sized swatches in different places in the room, then keep checking it throughout the day. I didn't do that when we originally painted downstairs. The color looked great on the chip. We dove in and had the whole downstairs done in that color. Then the next day, when the sun was just right, it turned to a color much like what is in a baby diaper. It was horrible. I hated it. My ex wouldn't let me change it. From that experience, I now paint swatches all over and watch how it changes throughout the day and the shifting sun. Once a color passes that test, I know I'm going to love it.

Be sure to let us know what you ended up choosing. I want to see before and after pics!

Mine is SW Rainwashed. I almost went with SW Sea Salt, which is very close, but a tad more green. It's very relaxing.

If you want a green, BM "spa" is gorgeous.

I found the color I used -- it's called Sherwin Williams 6813 Wishful Blue; it's more of a pale pale violet. Really pretty on the walls. I have a small room with a south-facing window.
