Title of Question:

| Answer:
Absolutely fine. Most ceilings are painted white and have a different color on the walls. How do you end up with 5 walls in a room? The yellow wall should be your focal wall. Be sure to use this collor in other ways throughout the space. You dont want it to stick out like a sore thumb but as if it belongs. |

| Answer:
I think it's fine to paint one wall blue and one wall green, but personally I would keep the color values very similiar, if doing two walls. So if you used a very dark green, then I would use a dark blue and if you used a light blue, then I'd want a light green etc. You could also consider painting horizontal or vertical stripes and use the two colors that way. For either stripes have one wide blue, then a wide stripe of a neutral color like white, then a wide stripe of green. You could also vary the widths of the stripes. Then you could use varying degress of the paint colors. That way it will be a fun room for the kids. |
