Wall color for nursery?

I need some wall color suggestions for a nursery.

We have birch furniture, white sheets (I don't bother with nursery bedding sets), the following prints:

The Wonderful Art of Oz Poster

and these curtains:

BARNSLIG DJUR Pair of curtains IKEA The ties at the top and the hemmed bottom make it ready to hang. With DS we painted the walls Benjamin Moore's Jalapeno Green, so I'm not keen on going green again.

Ideas? They can be gender specific.

TIA

    I would do the yellow at the bottom of those curtains.  

     

    That wouldn't be too much yellow with the birch furniture?

    What about a soft aqua?  I think the orange would pop nicely off of the blue as a complimentary color.

    I think that Mariner would look good with both prints and the curtains...or maybe Spa, which is on the same card but one shade lighter.

    I was going to suggest a light blue - mariner on the pallete looks really nice.

    I agree

  • I was going to suggest a gray like the silverpointe one but I do like the aqua/blues idea!
  • I would stay away from the bright colors and go with a lighter shade.

     What a great idea, I didn't know you could do this...

    I like the blue if it is a boy, but I LOVE the "potentially purple" if it is a girl... that looks like a pretty silvery hint of purple color.

  • We did a medium-range gray on the walls in the new nursery and I really like it.

    I would go with Anjou Pear. Our nursery has light brown walls. That was the color when we moved in and since it is gender neutral we just went with it. I like that it'll bring out the lion and think it'll make the other colors pop.

    And then maybe an accent color on the wall with the curtains.  And put the prints on another wall (a wall that has the neutral color but not the curtains)

     

    Super nice prints, BTW!!

  • I would do an orange accent wall and paint the other three walls Hammered Silver. I think that would be a fun pop of color without being over the top.

    Or, I agree with the Aqua suggestion.

    I think the furniture would blend in with the anjou pear.   If they had different color furniture,  that would be a great option, but I think they need some color in there to set off the furniture.

  • Love those prints.  I would do an orange accent wall & paint the rest either a neutral or a very pale aqua.
