The last 2 by far, loving the dark blue and grey ones. :D If I had to choose one though, it would have to be the grey.

Agreed, 6524.

I am a big fan of the subdued dark blue. :)

I voted gray, but I could see dark blue working too. Basically less bright colors are a bit less interesting, but it's easier to focus on the TV though. Perhaps you could do a different color behind the couch if you want some variation...

I like 2802. It could potentially be a nice combination with well-stained wood cabinets.

Either of the last two, Dodger blue FTW!

I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for chiming in.

I was also partial to Cyberspace, but in the real world, it's a lot darker and gloomier than its online appearance suggests Same can be said for the other options.

The problem is the room doesn't get enough light in the first place.

For the times when I have mates over to hang out or study, the apartment will seem to cold and unwelcoming.

But for playing games and watching stuff it would be great...

If any of you are considering painting, until you actually buy samples and try them out in your specific lighting conditions you can never be 100% sure...

Oh well, thanks anyway

Ultimately, what did you go with?
