Default What Type of Colors Do You Prefer?

Do you prefer neutral or colorful paint on your walls and in your environment? I love bright colors on my walls although I know many people don't like their walls to have a lot of color on them. Neutral can be soothing I guess, but I tend to think it's boring which is why I prefer color. How about you?

I prefer neutrals for the walls and floors, so that it does not clash with my furnitures and other decors. It always blends with any other color.

I am a neutral person for walls and floors. I prefer to change up my furniture and accessories rather than get a big splash of color from the paint. If my walls were a bright color I would constantly be repainting.

I'm more into the country colors for my home. I like neutral in some rooms but I like country colors too.

Get this my daughter wants to redo her room again and she wants 2 bright orange and 2 lime green walls!

I don`t like all my walls to be white. I like a soft yellow in my kitchen. And each bedroom a different color. I really like soft pastel colors more than bolder colors. My 19 year old has a blue color that matches the Florida Gators. I stopped him at the orange rug though lol.

Each room is always a little different and I am bad about trying to tie rooms into another, that entire flowing lesson that most people understand I haven't got a clue. It is my home so I just do what I like and try to remember that when visiting someone else's home too.

I don't particularly like white walls but dark colors do make the rooms seem smaller. What I like to do is do one wall a vibrant color such as red and then decorate around that.

I like natural colors that would replicate the colors of the countryside. Dark green and brown combination can be used on my kitchen. Light blue and white is for my living room and bedroom.

We have a little of both but the rooms that are "out there" tend to be rooms we are not using a great deal of the time. Our bedroom is a deep dark purple, our bath is a mix between a crazy gray and brown color, we have a spare room that is bright orange and our living room is a charcoal color.
