I need color advice for a college teen room! Please help!?

I am 18, in college, and living at home with my mom. She just got divorced and we both are looking for a new start in our new home.





I want to do my walls either pink or blue (not baby colors, but not too dark) And then I can't decide what color of furniture to get... white or black. I need color advice! What would look good? I dont want it to look babyish, you know!? I want it to look cool and clean for this new stage in my life.I need color advice for a college teen room! Please help!?
Both pink and blue have some great paint colors that are vibrant without being too dark. Get to a paint store and get lots of sample cards. They're free and will really help you make up your mind. You can also buy little samples of a few paint colors for not a lot of money. If you have the time, paint big patches on each of the walls to get a good feel of each color before you make your final choice. I personally think blue is better, but it will really boil down to you finding a shade that works for you.





As for furniture, I would suggest against white - especially if you're trying to stay away from the baby look. Pink or blue with white screams baby room to me. I think black is a little too stark a contrast with a good pink or blue. That said, I think you should consider chocolate brown for your furniture shade. It looks awesome with both pink and blue and will give the room a warm, mature feel.





Good luck with your new home. I hope you and your mom do well with your fresh start.I need color advice for a college teen room! Please help!?
Blue and light blue thick striped. Then take a mocha brown paint and paint a 4 or 5 inch thick line about 4 feet high up horizontally across the walls.


You can use brown and/or wicker furniture and blue bedding to match with a couple of mocha bolster pillows.





Get a plain unfinished lamp shade from the craft store (wood-about 4$) and paint it blue and mocha checkered.





You could even add a pink line above the mocha line and then throw in some throw pillows or a soft blanket in pink for the edge of the bed to add more girliness.
I would do a bright blue not neon but vibrant. And for furniture I would go with white. Black would look to harsh against the blue. Use ';hot'; pink orange and lime green accents and you'll have a really cool clean looking room.
Paint your walls a medium shade of periwinkle, (bluish lavendar). Get black furniture and use white and different shades of blues as accent colors. Good luck to both of you. Your mom is lucky to have you with her now.
I would paint the walls a neutral color then add the color with your furniture and accessories. That way you could change colors or style without repainting. :) Good luck!
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 %26amp; color name, the ';painted'; rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

Check out a color called ';regale blue'; (# 6801). I think it would be just what you're looking for - bright %26amp; refreshing without looking like a kid's room.





I would get black furniture because that would look super sharp up against a blue wall. And then you could get a black %26amp; white comforter - that would look very modern %26amp; sophisticated, but still fun. Check these out:
