    BLUE is a good colour! Due to the angle at which the optic nerve enters the brain, staring at a blue surface during sex greatly increases the intensity of orgasms!!!.

    A color that is relaxing and calming is preferred in the bedroom. A light blue, a light aqua or a sage green would be my recommendations. You can keep the ceiling white on the first two choices, however, because sage green is a warm color, a warm ivory would coordinate better. My choices for your bedroom are from Sherwin William's and are called "Retiring Blue", "Tidewater", and "Green Earth". I highly recommend paint over wallpaper, since painting is a lot less time consuming, less expensive and you can change colors often when you want a new look. Here's the site to look at my color recommendations for you:

    The best colors for a bedroom are blue or purple because of their calming affect. Maybe you don't want a calming effect though - my bedroom is a light brown with white trim. It is all personal preference and what you like to do in your bedroom. Here are a couple of links to colors and their meanings.

    if you have a bedspread that you like, or need to buy an new one, you choose the colour that you like the best out of it , and with that colour you paint your walls ,mostly ceilings are white but you can paint it a contrasting colour if you like.

    play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

    Feng shui says that skin tones & earth tones are best for the bedroom. Based on that theory, I think a color like "high tea" (# 6159) would be best.

    You can also take a photo of your room & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

    You can get color suggestions & they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

    i assume if i ever got a chance to re-design my bedroom i will lit it up with low--to-medium violet tones. Just imagine a man-thing with this back ground & you would love it (probably, coz u have the rights to say yes n no as per ur liking & dislikings)
