What colour should we paint our Hallway?

[Nightwish]

Our Hallway covers two stories, quite high walls and at the very top is a skylight, What colour would be best to make it looks as good as possible?

Many thanks to everyone and hope you have a great day.
Carpet would be beige, also on the walls would be family portraits. we're changing deco, roughly be pine sofas are red and also brown,

I need more details on the decor of the rest of your house. That depends on what color to choose for your hallway.

I know you see alot of dark wall colors these days, but I think it just makes houses look dreary and gloomy. I would go for a cream colored wall to make the space look upbeat and bright and clean. You can always add color with pictures and other items.

Yellow for warm and casual, a light gray for cool and more formal. Consider a dove color as well -- it's a pale grayish brown -- very neutral, but adds a little color (and won't be glaring the way white can be).

Cream is the best, it will blend in with the rest and still present good light reflection.

my dad painted ours like a light brown to a medium brown
it looks good!

I like to keep things light and airy - try Antique Cream by Crown. It's a very subtle cream with a hint of beige (some creams are yellow based - not this one!).
