I'm sure this will cause a MAJOR flame war, but....

[Gringo]

What color should I paint my living room? The couch is navy blue.

Vote and mellow out already...

[ShimokitaJer]

1. Well, I was going to vote pastel mauve

But I can see that 100% have already chosen burnt orange, so I'm sure my vote won't mean anything. Why even bother voting?

[Gringo]

3. alert

You are obviously a freeper disruptor.

[Isome]

2. A muted gold color... not shiny, but matte. n/t

5. muted gold voted in favor of eating babies and killing kittens.

edit: a least that is what it said on the Drudge Report and the Washington Times

[TrogL]

6. Navy blue

Also paint the windows, the floors, the ceiling, fixtures, dogs, cats, children the same colour.

8. A nice warm gray with white trim (molding, doorframes, etc)

Can look really good with navy.

9. None of those. Try a Dutch Boy color called "Oil Cloth".

It's a muted sage/grayish green color that looks super. I'd go with a Dirt Fighter paint in eggshell.

15. Oil Cloth = Blood Red?!?!

:)

10. I'm a fan of yellow

always have been.

[Duncan Grant]

11. Howard Dean and I say 'pastel yellow'...

but John Kerry and Will Pitt say we're color blind. Maybe you should consult Dennis Kucinich, he's the only guy around who has any *vision* lately (rimshot). :evilgrin:

12. Depends upon how adventuresome you are.

Yellow would look good with a navy couch. Don't go the pastel route either. Go for a rich yellow with some visual weight to it. The accessorize with a complimentary third color.

If you are not fond of yellow, a deep crimson or burgundy might look good. But I would limit that to either above or below a chair rail. A deep crimson or burgundy might overpower a room if all of the walls are painted that color from floor to ceiling.

Don't go the pastel route unless you want to think you are living in an ice cream store...

But that is just my interior design opinion...

13. Well sweetie,

What do you have against wallpaper?
Do you have ART on the walls are you a techhead or just DLC?

IF all you have is a damned couch go for floor coverings sweetie and skip repainting...

What are the colors of the window dressings? You know..."curtains?"
Oh, and what IS your favorite color?
DO you keep large format art books on the coffee table (or floor)??
Colored art???

Oh, my I can tell you REALLY aren't ready for this...
Have you considered FRESCOS? Teenage nudes or animals?
Come on, think outside the box...

PM me I can give you an estimate on my hourly rates for design advice...

WHITE WALLS, OK, WHITE. EGGSHELL. OYSTERSHELL. CHINA. Mushroom.
OK. BOOOORRRRRRIIIIINNNNNGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DoNotRefill]

14. Black...

then you can put up those funky velvet posters and a blacklight. Get a strobelight for saturday nights, and yer good to go.

[Larry Gude]

16. A darker green...

...hunter green, moss green, something warm.

This is without knowing the floor...carpet? wood? Vinyl? Color?

Warm sez I!

[trof]

17. macadamia

[felonious thunk]

18. I can't believe you would choose these colors

Unbelievable. Do your eyes even work?

Everybody knows you paint your home in Riverside Clay. I can't believe that people on DU are like this.
