Houzz Quiz: What Color Should You Paint Your Bedroom Walls?

Yellow: Not a perky morning person, eh? Fake your way into the new day by surrounding yourself in this energetic, optimistic hue. Go bold with a paint color like Copacabana from Benjamin Moore; or, if you prefer a more subtle yellow glow, try Custard Cream from Behr.

Green: You are a happy, fun-loving person so a green bedroom is perfect for you since the color represents youthful vibrancy and positivity. It’s the color of spring, rebirth and reinvention. It’s also thought to be a stress-reducing hue, so it can be a great choice in a bedroom. Rev up your room with a fun green hue such as Calamansi Green from Kelly-Moore, or, if you prefer softer greens, try the more subdued yet fresh Springtime from Sherwin-Williams.

Blue: You tend to run on all cylinders, all day long, so you need a bedroom that can serve as a sanctuary — a restful place to relax at the end of a hectic day. Blue is the perfect bedroom color for those seeking a calm and soothing vibe as cool blue hues tend to lower our blood pressure and reduce feelings of anxiety. For a calm, cool, collected blue try Parma Gray from Farrow & Ball. Or you can go a little deeper with Alfresco from Benjamin Moore.

Gray: You are stylish and sophisticated and want a bedroom that reflects it, but you also want to be able to relax and get a good night’s sleep. Gray hues are a great choice in a bedroom because of their cool, soothing and neutral qualities. If you make gray the main hue in the room, go for a deeper color such as Hearthstone from Benjamin Moore. If you want gray to serve as a backdrop for other more dramatic colors, try a softer gray such as Gray Frost from PPG Pittsburgh Paints.

Orange: You are outgoing and uninhibited and your bedroom should reflect these traits. Orange hues tend to flatter most skin tones, so surrounding yourself in this hue can offer a nice little boost of self confidence — not that you need it! Orange is also associated with spontaneity and having a positive outlook on life, so what better way to celebrate your wild side than by painting your bedroom walls orange. Go with a deep orange such as Firenze from Benjamin Moore, shown here, or keep it light with Honey Blush from Sherwin-Williams.
