>> Schlotter: We talk about the ceiling a lot. Think about it, when you look at the
ceiling, what you would like to see? We see a lot of people painting babies’ rooms blue
because looks like the sky. It’s just an opportunity to again engage your baby, when
it's little, with color. Again keep the colors soft!
In a boys room we typically go to blue. It doesn't always have to be blue; again it’s
just a color that they like. It can be a green it can be blue. My son's black and gold for
the Penguins, he wants to pull in a lot of color.
One of the recommendations they give for parents, if you're letting your child pick the color,
is when they go on those stripe cards and look at all the different colors and they’re
way down here and it's a really bright purple, or a very very bright blue, just go about
two or three shades up. They’ll never know the difference, because color magnifies when
you put it on the wall.
So any color you choose, that’s down here it's going to look way bigger and way brighter
and way darker on the wall. So if you go up a couple they'll be fine with those choices
and you'll like it much better too.
