teachers...classroom color? NMR.

I'm hoping to get approval to repaint my classroom.  It's a long story, but I'm being moved into what other teachers have dubbed the "Bermuda Triangle" because so many teachers have been in and out of there (hopefully if I'm gone after this year it's because I won the lottery...).

The teacher there about 6 years ago painted it Army green - and normally I have no objection to this color.  BUT the tile has a green design on it, the cabinets are green, and the chalkboards are another shade of green...so all those clashing shades are making me start to HATE being in the room.

What color would you recommend?  (for a 6th grade reading classroom)

 

Thanks!!

Do you have to repaint it??  If you do that stinks.. we are not allowed to paint anything and all of our walls are white.  If I were to paint I would probably pick a pale yellow cause its bright and cheerful.  Or go with a neutral beige.

I don't have to...but I actually really want to.  It's sooooo bad.  I'd probably love it if they were white instead of the green they are now!

Everyone who stopped by to see how I was doing asked, "You're going to do something about these walls finally, right?"  LOL!

It's just been handed to so many teachers and nobody has been around long enough to fix it.

How about a nice watery blue - it can be your inside joke about the Bermuda Triangle!

I'd go with a light blue or tan

Are you just painting the walls and not the cabinets or anything else?  If so, Id say a beige.  If you are painting cabinets too, you could do a brighter color because you could paint the cabinets white to balance it out!
