Hi Chefwong, I want to reiterate a previous posters comments about white paint in dark space; white won't make your room look brighter lighter. White needs alot of light to come alive. If you look at white rooms in magazines you'll notice they have a tone of daylight and they light the room professionaly. In dark rooms it's really better to go mid tone colors. What colors do you respond to? Blue, green, yellow? You might get a paint deck from Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore and browse the deck and see what you respond to. Also, the site below might be useful to help visualize colors in room. But note too that most of these rooms have alot of light when they are photographed. Here is a link that might be useful: Favorite paint colors blog

The tile is so neutral, you can go with almost any color. The lighter colors will seem brighter in the dark space. I would find an inspiration piece and go with the colors from that...it can be an outfit you like, a plate, a pic of a room you like, a poster you'd like to hang on the wall...anything. So long as it's something you'd like to look at. Then go with it. My laundry room was inspired by a kitchen I saw on a house tour where the owner had white cabinetry and painted the little bit of wall space in heather. It was luscious, and i loved it so much that the color stuck with me....so now I have a heather colored laundry room...crazy to some, but I love it. And what the heck....it's a laundry room...why not liven it up.

We have Kilim Beige in our basement. We love it. As I recall, the BM salesperson said that Kilim Beige was their number one selling color.

Thank you very much megs1030 for those suggestions of Quicksilver and Icicle. We’ll take a look at those colors. Patricia Colwell, thanks for writing as well. Actually, our trim color will be a white - just not a stark white. It will not be a cream color. celerygirl, thank you as well for the Ice Cube color suggestion. We have a few other colors to consider now, so thank you all. Any other wall color suggestions would be welcomed. We love the idea of a grayish blue for a beach condo, just not too dark of a gray or too baby or too bright blue. Something serene and relaxing, like Reflection, just maybe a bit bolder would be ideal. We’re not too keen on greenish grays. Thank you!
