Orange or green?

We are redecorating a room to be used as a hobby room (music mostly) and a den for DS to game with his friends.

It’s a blank canvas at the moment- it’s been a junk room since we moved.

Floor will be American oak herring bone, furniture probably white, sofa dark green velvet. There’s a big chrome and black drum kit.

It’s a due north facing room with a large window. It has lovely high ceilings.

We’ve agreed a shade of white on most of the walls but want a coloured wall too, the one where the white furniture will be.

One of us wants a very dark green (F&B studio green for example) and the other wants orange (eg F&B Charlotte’s Locks).

Given the north facing nature of the room does anyone have an opinion which colour will look good? I don’t want it to be too dark but equally don’t want a washed out orange.

Thanks

I'm.having a similar debate for my living area which is north facing. I've gone orange just because it makes me smile when I see it and I think it will bring a warmth to the room that green may not.

I would look at a mid blue like de nimes which I think works well in a north facing room

What did you go with @Somanycuddlybears? How does yours look @charabang? Seriously considering Charlotte’s Lock for my hall we have a Vardo front door, so quite a bold contrast, but I think it makes both colours sing & me feel all warm and cosy, which is what you want your hall to do, right?!

I have a high ceilinged north facing room and LOVE f & b RED EARTH. Honestly. I think it will look outrageously good with your sofa.

Sorry @Doliveira i revived this thread from a few weeks ago as I was nosy to find out whether everyone was pleased with their choices 😄.

We went for the orange but still waiting on the sofa. I will update once it comes!

Yes! Was it Charlotte’s Locks @Somanycuddlybears ?
