When choosing paint colors for teenager's bedroom, you need not follow the same guidelines as you do for painting a master bedroom. This is because while you might enjoy calm and soothing colors in your bedroom, a teenager is hardly going to prefer muted tones in his/her bedroom. This does not mean that you choose fluorescent and psychedelic colors for painting your teenager's bedroom. Since they are young adults who have their own likes and dislikes, and often very strong opinions, you should ask what colors they would prefer in their bedroom.

Teenager Bedroom Paint Color Ideas

Primary Colors

Unlike an adult's bedroom that is usually painted in soft or cool paint colors, teenagers would prefer more warm, rich and brighter hues. Primary colors i.e. red, blue and yellow can be safely used for painting a teen's bedroom.You have to choose the right shade of these colors and pair them well with neutral colors. The brightness of a coral red or cherry red in one of the walls of the bedroom can be subdued by choosing tan, pale yellow or even slate gray for the rest of the walls.

Sunny Yellow

One of the best paint colors for bedrooms, particularly for girls is a deep berry color like aubergine and rose wine. These are not typical girly colors but they work very well in a young adult's room. Aubergine or rose wine when paired with lighter hues like slate gray and porcelain can give the room a rich and sophisticated look.

Other colors like deep rust and dark brown are also excellent choice for bedroom paint colors for teens.
