I am designing and painting my bedroom right now. So far i have zebra print curtains and window shams, a zebra print rug, and zebra print comforter and pillow skirts. I also have metallic silver furniture like entertainment unit, dressers, bed frame and mirrors. I need a color that will go best to paint my walls and for my sheets and decorative pillows. What do you think will look best?
My favorite colors are orange and green, but I dont think that will look cute.
I think a rich, cool blue would look nice with that. I think the blue would look nice with silver since it’s a cool color.
soft orange
Bright colors will go with it.
I think a bright almost Orange Slice color will work, as will a Bright Cherry Red. Maybe even a bright Lime Green. Personally, I think the Red will go best, but a Bright Warm color should do (except Yellow IMO)
I think any bright color would look great with the black and white zebra theme and your favorites would work too! Pink, red, orange, turquoise, icy blue,purple, lime green, bright yellow…
Here are some pictures that might help you visualize it better:

If I were you I would paint a pale shade of the color I like best and then accessorize with the same color only alot brighter. I’d paint pale aqua walls and use bright aqua pillows, throws, rugs, art work.

Hope this helped!
Any rich color would look nice. don’t do another darkish color or else your room will be too dark and it doesn’t look cute, it would look plain. a rich green,orange, maybe even a red or blue. just don’t do neon or too bright colors or else it will clash with the zebra print. hope i helped!
reds, purples or unique blues. with all the zebra, id go with a color that is deep and warm. go to your local paint store and borrow a paint swatch book and check all the colors in the different lights in the room throughout the day. choosing the correct color, hue and type can make it or make it look cheap!

I think it should be a bright, vibrant color. Something like ballerina pink, sky blue, sunshine yellow, lilac lavender or even lime green or cantaloupe orange. Any one of these light colors would look cute, I would love having zebra print and metallic stuff with pink but I don’t know if you are as girly as me.
gray will look good and don’t forget some mirrors
