Bryson Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Title says it all really... What colour? Why? (700-seat touring venue. Mainly Orchestral, dance, theatre. Lots of dance recitals in the spring. Not much rock music. Green Room is about 12'x15'. It has a brown leather couch.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.elsbury Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 A nice charcoal grey? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImagineerTom Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Go for historic authenticity and white-wash the walls. #theatreGeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerry davies Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I like at least one wall in a powder colour like the Farrow and Ball range. If you do two walls in a colour then make them facing walls with white or magnolia on the others. We had the opposing walls with windows in Wedgewood but I woke up one day and her indoors had turned them a pale green for summer. God knows what they will be next time she gets insomnia which could well be next week. Living with an artist gets confusing on times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbsy Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 A very light yellow...known to induce calmness and happiness/contentment (and it goes with a brown couch). Or go with that ugly slumlord/asylum green so nobody wants to hang around in there when they should be working! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam2 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Green of course ! in deference to the traditional name of that place. A bright or intense green is a bit much for a whole room, but a light muted green, perhaps subjectively halfway between light grey and primary green might suit, perhaps with one wall in a deep moss green. Green if often considered to be a pleasingly relaxing colour, correctly IMHO provided that it is a light and muted green. Small areas of wood work that need gloss painting could reasonably be in a relatively bright green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirdtap Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'd go for the grey or light blue. Not green, a previous venue had a green room painted yep green and training courses were held there regularly. I found it really hard concentrating longer than 1 hour whilst in the room. It had very large windows so it wasn't that the space lacked light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w/robe Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 In many Green Rooms there are so many notice boards, shelves, additional notices, cupboards, posters from shows 20 years ago etc that not much wall is actually visible. I would go for white. What ever colour it is go for cheep, repeatable and washable. You don't want to find that when the area near the kettle finally wants repainting, after scrubbing no longer gets the spills off, you can not get anything to match.

Just Some Bloke Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I agree with Bob that stress-reducing colours would be a good plan. This helpful articlecould be of use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
