Best color s to paint dedicated listening room

Jmslaw, maybe that's going to be the next new thing from Machinica Dynamica.

Went with battleship gray for my room

Initially, I chose it to get my wife off my back--she wanted to know my color choice (so she could do the painting and get it done). First sarcastic thing in my mind was the gray.

After it was done, I'm very happy with it (everything goes with gray...)

melon,

Color effects mood and temperament. There are many studies to this effect. Search them out and pick colors to suite your music listening mood.

Avoid cool colors...green, blue.

Consider warm colors...deep reds, cranberry, eggplant...and dark tones. I personally find a dark room the most conducive to listening and getting lost in the music.

Lighting is as important as paint.

Or, play it safe with earth tones, but I'd still prefer deeper colors.

BTW, I don't entirely practice what I preach, since our living room doubles as our listening room. Our walls are faux finished to look like antiqued glodenrod. We do, however have deep cranberry red drapes and halogen lighting that can be dimmed quite low.

Have fun. let us know what you decide.
