Paint colors.........?

I need a good paint color for my bedroom.


I'm doing glow in the dark lettering (for Bible verses)


and I need a base color.





Thank You.Paint colors.........?
you could have one side of the bed room painted dark with the lettering on it. I don't think a full dark room would work well with the religion concept and its normally considered light (god, for instance walk to the light';) then have the light covering on that wall maybe even put your bed facing it so you can always read it.





Good Luck. Paint colors.........?
Well, the base color I'm thinking the color of the walls and ceiling where the black color text will be, right? I recently had to think of a custom pencil design that a hypothetical priest of a local church might want so maybe the colors I chose will work for you too.





In keeping with the bible verses, I would try a white color (white for background color of bible pages with black text) or very light colored beige (it sorta looks like angel white but not that white) so when you look at the bible verses text, it'll feel like you're reading a huge bible on the wall in your room (I think this is the effect you're going for?). Very light colored blue/sky blue will also work.





The only issue is, it's glow in the dark green so not too many colors go well with that color since presumeably the area around the text is black (so I guess maybe still try using a light color paint but stick a low-level light source in the room so you can kinda see the paint color you ultimately pick, but not too power-consuming as this will raise your electric bill by quite a bit, heh).





Hope this helps.
play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors 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:

I think ';sassy green'; (# 6416) might look good.





You can also take a photo of your house %26amp; upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions %26amp; they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
That would look awesome on a dark coloured wall but you don't want to paint the whole room in midnight blue or a moss green so maybe you can have an accent wall in one of those colours oruse one of those colours as a runner like a broad stripe across the wall right around the room then put them on there..would look great at night and cool in the day.
You definitely want to pick a color that will not blend in with the glow in the dark paint. Meaning noo light colors like pale pink..or very very light green, tan, or white..you want to go with dark colors such as black, brown, red, blue, purple,darker greens(even lime green would work well)..your going to want the verses to ';stand out' Hope i helped!





p.s: make sure that when u want the glow in the dark paint to ';glow';(ex: when you go to bed';)..make sure that you leave the light on in for a good amount of time so that the paint shows up well..just a tip for u :)
Try dark purple. Is this going on the walls or ceiling? I would do a 8-12 inch deep band of color next to the ceiling (like a border). That way it would be a real conversation piece without being over-the-top, in your face:) P.S. It should go all the way around the room for impact.
';I also have a black light that I might put on my desk so you can see the glow on the bark lettering.';
