Best color s to paint dedicated listening room

I went with an earth tone: Ralph Lauren's "Desert Khaftan"
Very brown. It compliments the red claret acoustic panels on the walls and the red Tabriz rug on the floor. Very soothing combinations for music listening.

The timing of this thread is hilarious, because by coincidence my ex-girlfriend is in the process of painting my listening room while I'm away at work this week.

We've been talking about what I want to do to this room for some time. She has a good feel for what I like, so I let her pick the colors. Today, she just finished painting the south and north walls a light beige/gray. She's coming back tomorrow to do the east and west walls in a dark grey/olive.

She's helping pick out blinds, bedding, furniture and lighting as well. Hopefully by this weekend I'll have a brand new room all loaded up and ready for action.

Including sheet plastic? ;)

Isn't the best color always what your wife wants? I get no color choices in my home, luckily though she is an awesome decorator and I'm not. Good luck!

Any color you pick should have a green hue as it is easiest on the eyes. All colors can be classified as either
red/green, blue/yellow and light or dark. So if you pick a beige make sure it is green/yellow in tone as it will be the most soothing on your eyes. Red tones are very shocking on the eyes and that is why stop signs are painted red. It will be easy for you to see if you have all the color chips together. I have been formulating automotive colors for 25yrs and color does have a big impact on how your going to enjoy your room. Good luck!
