What color are your office walls?

Currently, they are a sage green from the previous owners.

I don't hate the color, but I am also open to changing it. A light, neutral background is appealing since I can add color via accessories.

What color are the walls in your office? Do you plan to change them?

At work, an off-white somewhere between parchment and eggshell, with grey salt-and-pepper patterned cubicle walls.

At home, a pale alabaster (almost exactly the HTML color, just a bit lighter) with a sea foam green stripe around the room at about shoulder height.

In both cases, I don't really have any interest in a change. It's not like I spend my day staring at the walls, and I have some art up too so it's not completely bland.

A pretty boring beige... but it's no fuss and blends into the background well. 😀

From work desk: burnt orange, white, steely grey, and bluish off-white (no plan to change, no control over it, nice change from previous gov't putty grey walls)
From home desk: minty green obscured by posters/calendars/art/bookshelves (no plan to change, soothing, all the crap on/in front of the walls engages me and reminds me why I'm here)

If you could change the color, which would you pick?

I'd love to do a pink/purple accent wall

Nope. Was in the space already when we rented it. Guess they thought it was fun?

Home office in the basement... cheesy wood panelling from the 70s/80s. LMAO.

Eventually when the kids want their own rooms I'll be kicked out of there & make them renovate it!

Flashbacks of cheesy wood panelling, cheesier mirrored wall tiles, and cheesiest dark-cork wall tiles. Child of the 70s I am, yes.

Wood paneling might be back in style, who knows.

We used to have an enormous mural all down one wall but nowadays it's bland and white.

Blank white both at work and home. I find it good to beautify ornaments, and it makes the room seems more lightened. I like it actually.

I work from home so I am lucky, white-ish with a navy accent wall and a nice wood desk.

A navy wall sounds nice. I wanted to do an almost navy, demin color for the basement, but we may opt for something lighter instead.
