What color to paint walls?

Our mudroom has a sink with a marigold counter top from the 1970s. What would be a good color to coordinate with that? It's not that I like the marigold, but I have to work with it.


THanks!

What color to paint walls?
Cranberry, Merlot, any reds would go nice with marigold...

Reply:brown and burgandy would go well with gold. A fast, easy and decorative way to spice up your mudroom is to sponge paint the three colors. You have complimentary colors and decoration too. Good luck!
Reply:When we first moved into our house, the bath tile, sink and floor were that bright 70s gold/yellow tone. The previous owners had painted the walls a sort of pesto green, and it toned down the yellow a lot to make it appear less bright. (i.e. "Acadia Green" on Benjaminmoore.com). Try holding a swatch like this against the yellow and you will see what I mean!
Reply:"Cobble Brown" by Sherwin Williams. Have a great weekend!
Reply:For a small space like a mudroom, why not be creative and use an expressive color scheme? After all, it's a small space and should be accented...there's not much to lose.





Various shades of avocado, or burnt orange/red compliment Marigold (or Harvest Gold as it was called in the 70's). Alternatively, you can use any shade of chestnut brown.
