Paint it whatever colour you like.
I think everything should be white and children should have their filthy mitts handcuffed but I'm a bastard.

But what colour would you write it in? I'd rather not share bedroom with the ghost of Jeffery Dahmer.

All interior walls should be white.
Sheetrock is white. Plaster is white. Paper tape is white. Spackle is white. Evolution produced these critters in white for good reason.

Re: All interior walls should be white.
I used to think this, before I had a modern home. White was especially good in flattening out ornate details in old homes I have lived in. I love an all white approach in older homes.
But in my modern house, I found it to be without personality. There is no history, no details, or anything to cause your eye to focus or to be attracted in any way.
I, for one, have grown completely tired of all white. And of most of the modern "rules" to be honest. I have been enjoying mixing color, textures, styles etc in my interior for the last year. It isn't perfect, as I have had to take risks, but now I think it is starting to reflect my avant garde, eclectic personality. Good things have come of it, and some mistakes. But my view on it now is to just let it evolve as my personality does. After all, it is my domain. And if you make a "mistake" it will be your mistake, just the way you would make it.
2 cents.

I like white walls but i have none.
I have velvet, cotton fabric, wallpaper, painted surfaces are color.
It just happened that way. Even the entry closet is wallpapered.
Odd really. Oh well.
Posting some pics might help get feedback.

Hey Whitespike--
Weren't you just crabbing about annoying burgundy-painted storage cabinets one short week ago? They were painted that way because their owner decided that white walls were boring, which thereby rendered the cabinet material incompatible, which made a burgundy paint job seem like a sensible solution.
That's the problem with colored walls & backgrounds-- perfectly agreeable materials no longer look perfectly agreeable, depending. Aren't the objects in the foreground more important than walls?
Even if one takes great care in choosing objects that work with strong wall color, I can't imagine wanting to LOOK at large swaths of strong color, day in and day out. It'd be exhausting.

All work and white walls...
All work and white walls make Jack a dull boy.
All white walls, though great for sanitariums and death chambers at the local prison, are altogether lacking in imagination. IMHO.

Heath, have you heard the NPR story about ghost hunting in Dahmer's childhood house? (Linked below) The best part....its a mid century modern house so its appropriate for this forum ;-).
Nobody would buy it because Dahmer had killed people there and buried them in a crawl space. Gruesomeness aside, it was an interesting piece and your statement above reminded me of it.
