i can haz trick question?
The obvious answer seems to be : white |
|
Are you asking what color paint you should use or
what color painter you should use. |
|
Ohh another thing, you would paint the wall in NO COLORS as White is not a color, isnt it actually the absence of all color?
|
|
you got a thing against other colors? whats wrong with black?
|
|
Au contraire. White is the presence of all colors. |
|
|
FTW!
FAIL! |

I have Navajo White in a couple of rooms - the all-purpose white is Dover White (also from S-W) |

Paint it off white. Use a subtle tint. Find a off-whitish paint chip that you think will look good, and paint it one shade lighter.

*&%^!!! I thought I may have had the backwards.... |

|
What do you get when you add all the colored pigments together? White light is a totally different animal. |
|||
|
White LIGHT is the presence of *all colors. White PIGMENT is the absence of *all colors. There is a significant difference. * - "all" colors refers only to colors visible to the human eye. |

|
Actually, no. White means it's reflecting all colors and black means it's absorbing all colors. |

|
Eggshell - specially if you got little people in your house - it cleans up good.
|
|
Isn't that the definition of what "color" something is? The type of light it reflects or emits? Is white light the presence of all colors? |

Behr Ultra Pure White.
It's so white, it sickitates Louis Farrakhan. It's so white, it makes Wonder bread look ghetto. It's so white, Obama thinks it should apologize. CJ |

I work at Miller paint Co. Everybody settle down!!! Lemme fire up the tint machine and I'll give you the ultimate answer:
White. |

DANPASS FOR THE WIN!
Primering over the old paint will save you tons of heartache after the job is finished. Primer paint makes a much smoother and consistent color when you put your final paint down. |

Sorry, but I believe that is incorrect. White in addative (light) is all colors (red green and blue) evenly represented. White in subtractive (paint/pigment) is all colors (red yellow and blue) evenly reflecting. (pigments reflect light back) Another way to look at it is that white paint is NOT absorbing any colors. The difference is (as you can tell by the name) with light you add more color to something, so with an addition of more light, it will only ADD color/brightness. With subtractive (paint) you are actually adding things that stop light from reflecting. Thus, you can never get a brighter color than the brightest color you are mixing together. But you are right, white <font color=#888>gray</font> and black are neutrals, not colors. And I think brown in subtractive may be considered a neutral as well (since it is mixing two opposite colors)... but with any neutral, there is a VERY SLIM margin of error before you actually have a neutralish color rather than an actual neutral. As a kid I was always confused about how projectors made the color yellow when it had three colors to mix: (red green and blue) Because I of course knew that the three primary colors were: red yellow and blue... |
