That’s the good news about buying the beds-in-a-bag and choosing paint color off that—The bed-in-bag designers did all the work of choosing a color scheme FOR you! You don’t need to come up with a color scheme yourself, you just choose a bed set you like, and utilize their already-made color scheme.
If look up bed-in-a-bag on amazon (or click here ) you can see a bunch of examples of bed sets. Notice how the vast majority of the time, the wall color is painted to match one of the colors found in the comforter set. (Note- I do NOT think that internet shopping is a good way to buy your bed set. I definitely recommend going to a meat-space store)
Of course, just like it is possible to put together your own bed set by buying individual pieces instead of buying a “in-a-bag” set, it is also possible to choose wall colors that look good that AREN’T in your bed set. However, this requires a bit more skill. For our purposes, it is much easier to just stick with the basic pull-your-wall-color-off-your-bed technique.
Choosing WHICH color(s) to pull off the comforter set can be tricky.
Optional Step 3b If you send me a pic, I’ll send you an opinion.
In general (but not always), if your bed is 75% or more Color A, then you do not want it to be against a wall painted Color A.
Another not-always-true generality: the color that shows up the LEAST in your bed is an “accent color” (but not necesarily the accent color you want on your accent walls)
Another option is to look up your desired bed set on the internet (amazon, etc), and see how it is displayed in its ads.
