That was close...*shudder*

Maybe I'm truly boring. Or maybe I'm just not adventurous when it comes to colour?

I have no idea what happened this morning!
After 2 years of working here and being promised "this year we're renovating" for both of those, we became very excited when some men-folk were spotted walking around carrying ladders and the like. Turns out we're still not really renovating in the "fix-it-up" sense of the word but we ARE going to be painting on a nice coat of new paint to make us all feel better apparently.

Let the madness ensue.
First we weren't given a real choice - we were just told that we were having our walls painted boring white and we could choose 1 feature wall to go a different colour.
Then after stomping our feet a little we were told we didn't have to go white we could keep our current neutral light taupe colour and choose a nice accent colour for it to go on one wall.

THIS i was actually very happy with.
*sigh*

But then someone made the "mistake" of mentioning, "No, you can choose any main colour and then one highlight shade..."
Have you ever been stuck in a room with 4 other graphic designers who then have to choose 2 colours out of about 30?
Note: Should you ever find yourself in that unlucky position. Just excuse yourself and don't come back. It's not as fun as people think.

The chances of everyone agreeing in the first 20min on one colour is very slim indeed.
There was even a horrifying moment where it looked like they wanted to paint the room lime-green and red? I think if that had passed through i would have had to resign myself to a daily migraine, or just plain resign.
*shudder*
Other options mentioned were:
• blue walls with a red feature wall (anchors away! eek!)
• green walls with a blue feature wall (bad aquarium decor...)
• green walls with a white feature wall

the last option being my desperate attempt at keeping some kind of light and fresh feeling in my head... i dunno...
I think you have to understand the rest of what is going to be in the space to feel me here...
They are already putting in scary grey office carpets (the ones that come in "tiles" and get plonked down), we have blue wheely chairs, your typical light wood desks and then our windows roof and shutters are all going to be white.

This is turning into a rather long post. About colour and paint.
yes. boring to everyone else. ok. :)

End result:
• blue chairs
• grey carpets
• light wood desks
• lime green walls
• white window frames, skirting and shutters
• black feature wall

wish me luck.
bleh. at least it's not red and green! *pheeew*
