Best colour paint for a dining room?
Answers:
Get a sample of the floor you'd like, get a sample of pine that matches your table, and maybe a sample of a fabric you'd like for the window curtains. Bring all this, and taking into consideration the lighting etc., to a paint store.
If you paint one wall...and don't like it, you can paint over it. Don't be afraid to be bold. You may really like the color once your dining room is decorated!
I have...
A light yellow kitchen
A sage green laundry room
my sons room is half red
my daughters is lavender
my room is crayola crayon blue (hated it at first, love it now)
I'm going to be painting two more rooms this fall, one light brown and the other pale blue!
Go crazy and have fun with it!

maroon
Off-white - it should give a sense of space.
i would paint it a color that you like because you're the one who has to live with it. if you do a light terracotta, you could do red and yellow accents in the room. or even turqoise and red accents as those go with terracotta too
Tan?!
a nice sceptic brown would be nice
go with a light color
something like a beige or dull and very light yellow
it will make the room look bigger and more spacious
light blue, or yellows and oranges (pale shades though)
I'm into green at the moment. I'm going to paint my bedroom a soft green, almost the colour that surrounds this text block! I think it would look nice in a dining room, too.
light green
Any shade of green will work, because the color green encourages a healthy appetite, and a sense of health and well-being.
a sage type green goes well with pine / light wood. Try painting just one or two walls so it's not overpowering. Put pot-plants round there too and install lots of light fittings.
B & Q do a range of paint called suede effect it is the muts nuts but is still resonably priced for the end result
Terracota is a very nice and appropriate colour.. Go for it
light colored,
How about a light shade of green and use an arrangement of long narrow mirrors to add depth and length to the walls.
Red is good for stimulating appetite.
Yellow and orange are good for aiding digestion.
what colour is you crockery? base it around that. paint one wall a darkish shade (red for example) and hang a large mirror on it. the other three walls should be neatral as you suggested. go to your local diy shop and get loads of tester pots and try some things out. good luck!
im thinking a coffee brown would look very nice with the accessories you have got. because the room is low you need to bring it out with a nuetral colour
Green is a calming colour for dining rooms and always makes guest feel relaxed when eating a meal in a room with green, a light green, light browns and caramels colours are supposed to aid digestion and make you feel fuller, I thought red was for anger in dining rooms, you don't want you best diner service trashed now do you, I would go for a calming colour or one that suits your personality.
do a feature wall, one a darker shade, thiis gives a great effect to the room. use light colours to blend with your dinning set. an off white, or a light yellow, or a light terracotta would probably be best, but yes it is up to you so buy a few sample pots and and do some trial and errors see what you come up with. i hope that helps
The best thing for a small room is to keep it looking as large as possible with a light neutral walls , You can add your color with window trearments , rugs, chair cushions, wallpaper borders etc.
I think red dining roms are lovely if you just use that room for dining at night when you can light it beautifully. But because most of us don't live that way I really favour antique white everywhere (magnolia by another name) I may be 'boring' but it makes everywhere feel big and bright and you can dress the room with any colour scheme to make each space individual without limiting yourself. Duck egg blues/greens are also nice but I would plan ahead, how are you going to accessorise? and then work with that.
Celery green and trim in eggshell white..this combo will make the room appear larger and also have a calming effect to diners.
Burnt orange
Try coordinating it with the closest room. Like your kitchen.
Using a darker color like the red will make the room appear larger but would make the room dark. Using a dark tone but still a lighter color can still make it seem larger.
For example: A mustard yellow or dark tan on one wall for accent and a cream color on the remainder walls.
My opinion is that you stay in the lighter earthtone colors, (i.e lighter mossy green, or a even a pale sky blue (which always looks nice with lighter wood). Stay with colors that are understated and add in some pictures and / candle wall sconces for the decoration. If you go with too bold of a color, you will feel enclosed and take away from what the real decoration of the room which generally is the dining room table (the alter of the dining room). Good luck and I hope you enjoy this project.
I watch a lot of HGTV and I love the program Get Color! and Debbie Travis's painted House.
Red tones make you more energized and hungry. Terra cotta is a good compromise if you think bright red is too dark for the room. After all, you have to live and eat there.
A lot of shows mix a red tone with a gold/brown tone. I have seen quite a few shows use that.
Or you could go Southwest and put the terracotta with beige and either a turquoise blue or a turquoise light green.
What furniture and brick a brack do you have?
I think terra cotta would be great. You might think of a soothing gold, plus are you going to change all accesssories or get new ones? This might help you aid in your choice.
