What Color is your Tinplate Room?

Mine is paneled. I always felt wood offsets the tinplate colors nicely.

Sky blue with white ceiling.  But the two walls behind the layout are lined with floor to ceiling train shelves painted off white and each have a couple windows. 

The other two walls are covered with stereos and speakers.

A very pale moss green. Avoid semi-gloss paint if you can. Light reflection is very hard on the eyes.

I'd say my dungeon is a light blue. I hope to be installing additional lights soon, and when I get a few more little projects done some fresh paint.

since I don't like to paint,mine is white, with splashes of tinplate

I think I like Terry's color scheme the best.

Trains are very colorful to begin with so any wall color is just fine so long as its WHITE!

Mine is knotty pine with a white drop ceiling.

Terry,your collection is very impressive.

thanks so much norm,,,yes I did get a little carried way with it,,,very lucky,,i just retired so now time to enjoy then !!!

A pinkish beige color that was on the wall when I converted the room to trains. I liked the color so saw no reason to repaint. I have photos but none shows the color accurately, so I won't post. 

"Splashes of Tinplate"  LOL  That's like saying I went over Niagara Falls in an inner tube and got splashed.  Man, that's a FLOOD of Tinplate!  Fantastic!

I would go with white. Let the tinplate colors be the wall paper. It really makes the trains stand out.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and inspiration. The pics are great!

Neutral colors IMO are best for showing off the bright colors of tinplate trains. We went with Sherwin Williams White Duck on the walls and flat white ceiling paint. Good luck!

It's whatever color the room is I decide to set my track up in is

The room that they're displayed in (my room) has paneling though.

The same color as my Postwar Room (and the living room), as they are all the same room. LOL

Basic white. No shelves on the walls yet, but I did get the OK to put up a few. I think my better half is tired of the over flow sitting in her book case! 

Wow! That is an awesome train room. I love that your layout looks like a piece of furniture! Very nicely done.

Mine is "old workshop."  It's a hard color to match.
