im talking about bright red. you know like when you buy a pack of crayons and its an 8 pack. and all they have are the basic colors? red, blue, green, orange, black, white, purple, and pink. well just basic bright red. would you paint your room that color? why im asking this is because when i was younger my favorite color was red. and i always wanted to paint my room that color. but my parents said not red it would look ridiculous. i but know that im older i would never paint my room basic red. what is your opion.

No, I wouldn't paint it red. Only because it's not my favorite color. I would paint it boue or purple because I love those colors! There's nothing wrong with being bold. Bold colors are great! Don't you watch decorating show? They always use bright, bold colors. I saw something last week online where one of those decorating guys was painting a room a very bright orange-not my taste because I don't like orange. So what color would you paint your room?

For me , my favorite color is green. You see that in my name too. Sorry, it is just the opposite of your favorite color, red. If you will allow me, I will say not to paint red. I hope you don't mind me saying so. I would suggest blue or green color. That would be more pleasant I would say. Have a nice day.

Be Happy - Seeing this Little Dog jumping can make you smile
For me you , If you like red in your room try it and you will be happy . Because its very hard that you cant experience the beauty of your choice. Once you satisfy your wants you will be happy right and you will not ask for more. in the future you can tell to everybody, to your friends, relatives , children all about yourself How you make yourself Happy. Because if you doesnt fullfill what we want there is always a regret . atleast you know what is the feeling having a red room. anyway after 1 year you can change it again to a new color . Do what you can do know so paint it with your favorite color, Bec it is bad to be unsatisfied , right. Go On. paint it with red .Be Happy anf fulfilled

I love red color too and red is my favorite color. But I will never paint my room red because I think the combination will be weird when it comes to match with furnitures in the bedroom. In the range of red color that I can stand is only pink. I will paint my room pink instead of red. In term of bedroom's color,I still prefer it to be white or light blue. These two colors can give me calmness especially when bedroom is a place we sleep and rest.

I would not do that as well. Red, for me, is a very strong or dark color. I personally like green, yellow, sky blue, and the like. In my case, I want my room to be painted with white. And I'll just put some posters and pictures to color the walls.

Hello! Well, it depends. I know what red you are talking about. I'd paint it in that color if I like it. Why not? You can also put a darker red, so it doesn't call so much attention. Because, you know, the bright red might be too tiring for your eyes to keep seeing it every single day, every single minute. My room is actually blue, but not a light blue: it is a dark and strong blue. I think it is really beautiful the way it is. A strong color, everybody notices it when they are coming to my room, but nobody says it is an ugly color. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

Bright red?Why not...gone are the days when you have to follow what is good to the eyes so you paint it green.Or pink for femininity or blue if you're a man.It totally depends on you.....If i don't have small kids around,mine i want it yes bright red on one or 2 walls,but not totally red all four sides.Play with colors..be adventurous,dare to break monotony.

I'd rather choose pink instead of red to paint my room. Though i like red too. But to paint a room red would somehow drives me crazy by staying in it too long.

Plain bright red like a clown nose? Probably not. But a slightly deeper red...absolutely! I love deep rich colors and think it's great to make bold statements in the home. Plus I've been longing for my own home for so long I feel comfortable with the decor I would choose if I could. A cozy den area with lots of red would be perfect...right now I just have to be satisfied with red pillow cases on my bed.

I guess one wall would be okay to have bright red as long as the other walls were probably a darker or lighter color and there were lots of other accents there, such as one wall bright red and the other three black with black borders and curtains and such, like a two-toned room for the most part. I don't think I'd want all four walls red plus ceiling and carpet! That seems like overkill for such a bright color. I like red to an extent, but I've actually never considered painting any rooms that color.

hmm, guess not, it's not only red is my favorite color but also it was kinda too bright that my eyes hurt seeing it. I can imagine myself that if ever I had painted my room red, every morning, I'll squeezed my eyes shut for awhile, blink twice or more, waiting for my eyes to adjust or my eyes hurt every time I walked in my room. I really don't think I'll do that. Now, I had my room painted light blue, I really love blue colors, simple and yet serene and really cool in the eyes, the same way with green.

For me, I am willing to paint my room in red. It is one of my favorite colors. I will be adding some artistic designs in my room to look it more awesome, not just in plain red. Without those designs, I feel I was surrounded by bloodsheds. Lolz.

I think i would be able to paint a room in bright red. i love this color very much, but is also can get boring very soon. so, i would do that if there are at least 4 other rooms in my apartment, so that i can enjoy different colors. my brother has made a bathroom in bright red, and it looks gorgeous.
