Basement paint color idea?

11 years ago

We just finished the basement, actually the drywall is going up today. We have a khaki colored sectional moving down there and I need help picking a wall color. I have every shade of tan in the book and would like a real color but I am lost. Any recommendations? We have lots of natural light with 4 regular size windows and walkout. Please? I thought Benjamin moore's Aegean teal might be nice....

The Teal color would provide a great compliment to the sectional. You might want to try a lighter shade first since it's easier to go darker than going back to light.
