Bold colors need good lighting to show their true hue. Insufficient light makes bold colors look flat and muddy.
In most living rooms, painting all four walls the same color creates cohesion. For an accent wall, choose the wall behind your sofa or the fireplace wall.
A darker shade of the same color family on one wall adds depth without overwhelming. Or use the main color on walls and a contrasting shade on built-in shelving.
Satin gives bold colors depth and richness. Matte works but can look chalky on very saturated colors.
Bold colors almost always require primer (gray-tinted primer for best results) and 2-3 coats of paint.
Eggshell finish is ideal for living room walls — it's washable enough for everyday life but doesn't show roller marks like satin can.
