Wall color as a motivational factor

OK here is a topic that I find interesting. I purchased an older house, circa 1800, about 4 years ago. Since this time I have essentially gutted and redid the entire thing. Most of the partition walls are new, closets are added, electric is new (I am a trained electrician), and the plumbing has been updated. One of the most enjoyable stages was the selection f colors for the walls. The last large room to be finished is the one that will become the home for my Bowflex and free weights. I was wondering if anyone had an opinion of what color they found motivating. While the room is large enough that darker shades would not make it feel cramped, I certainly have no aversion to lighter shades. I have applied the last coat of spackle this morning and am interested in feedback.
 
I have no clue. I'm only aware that looking at yellow makes one better at math, while looking at pink is distracting. So...unless you're having trouble adding up your sets and reps, go with the pink :D
 
post a pic of the room and Kraken can try to work some architectural skillz.
LOL

If its open and has lots of natural light I'd go earthy tones. If not a lot of natural light I'd go white as a field color with some kind of accent.

If Mreik sees this he will revoke your man card, just as he did mine a few months back..
 
i would go for a mirrored room eh? what could be better then seeing your body when working out....it will probably run you down money-wise but hey id think its worth it
 
I see the color RED no matter the wall color.

Why?!

Lets see, he, he. :)


Chillen sees the color RED because he puts all adversity to friggen BED, because his motivation is internally FED.

This moves Chillen AHEAD, and puts depression in the SHED.

Chillen wants no one to feel any DRED, but to wake up from being personally DEAD, and realize all the BREAD is in the HEAD to move AHEAD!

ROCK ON!

Peace, joy, and love, to all of you!

LOL My man card is gone then. I like to garden and grow flowers and veggies from seeds every year. Thankfully my lovely wife doesnt requie that I carry a card. I have other ways of validating my idenity. So what I gather so far is that I should either use an earth tone, a red tint, or the color of my favorite bread.

Pink. If you're manly enough to stay in a pink room, then you'll be pumped up for exercises. Some days at the gym I have pink dumbbells on the threadmills. Those are the days when I'm popping 3 miles in 23 minutes only because I want to get out and not be seen with pink weights. Be sure to announce to every nearby male person that you are now entering the room.

You could try an accent wall. That's what I did with my room. That way, you can use a darker, more bold color without having to paint the whole room that color. One wall in my room is a deep wine red color and the rest of the walls and ceiling are a light yellowish cream color. I think it's nice.
