What colour should I paint my workshop walls?

[Bill Conerly]

How about pin stripes? 1 1/2 inch wide, on 16 inch centers. When you need to find a stud, there they are. Blue would be nice. Just be sure to scrub the wall with TSP before you paint; I messed up my paint job and am now waiting for warmer weather to re-do it.

Thanks Rick. I think I will go with a light colour, looks like white is the consensus and no way the collective wisdom is wrong!

I'm outta of the normal. I don't care for the white semi gloss standard. Adequate lighting will make up for the lack of stark white colors in your shop.

Mine is painted a pale blue gray. I'm happy with it.

I also can't do white.Where ours is finished drywall,little over 10' ceiling...very lite tan,upper with gray/green dado section,cap rail(stole the gray green from VMI,Lexington Va).All of the storage units and shelves are the gray green as well.

WHITE....It will brighten the space and enhance light
