Interesting challenge. What about incorporating the red white and blue used in the My Fox web logo into the room? It would be difficult to pull off given the room dimensions, but not impossible and appropriate for the web center. You could even try blue carpet, red (ish) walls and a white ceiling with the myfox logo suspended from a wire in full 3d! If you wanted to go for even greater effect, you could have some type of image showing the NY skyline (similar to the myfox poster)on one of the walls. Also, building some type of modern, space saving cubicles with windowed walls would be a good idea. I would also suggest keeping all tower systems on the floor to give you more desk space. The thought of all the bloggers coming in and painting the office is actually funnier and would make for some great video although the outcome might not be pretty! Good luck!

Hi Kathy, I think a goldish color will be great with dark brown carpet all around...no?? That will be very comfy. Try it out... ok?

Have a great weekend!

Hey Kathy!
Ok. I just clicked on the link and checked out the collection of colors. I noticed that when I click on a prticular color, two more shades of paint are also recommended to offset the whole look. So here's my top three:
- Harvest Gold (w/2 coordinating colors)
- Poseidon (w/2 coordinating colors)
- Pulsating Blue (w/2 coordinating colors)

Now, you may decide to paint the walls one color, the ceiling another, and the borders another (or any other combo). But the choices above will def. give the room a whole new look-the color schemes are great! Enjoy your weekend!

I knew I could count you guys!
Really, really interesting ideas... and don't even know where to begin. You've made me feel like we here could get very creative. Or maybe sticking to the basics is better. I'm definitely not sure which is "best" but they're all worth considering.

Ok, so, to begin: Daniel, I love the idea of the MyFox logo in 3D hanging from the ceiling! A lighter version of red (not pink, but not the deep color we have in the back) could be perfect for the currently white walls. (i love that pic of you, btw..it's you, noc?)

Jane, I think it's a good thing my back is to that red wall. The last thing I need is to be surrounded by "anger"... Thanks for the link and ditto on the information about color affecting moods.

Lisa, your color scheme reminds me of my bedroom. It's very calming.. the only trouble we'd encounter is the carpeing: we can't change it :-< Trust me, I'd love to have new carpeting! Do you think it would work despite the dark blue rug?

Bobby, I don't know about letting Reid take 1,000 pics (he'd do it, too :-> ) But you're the one who got my creative juices flowing... how said it had to be a solid color... why not lots of pictures??

Ah, leave it to Mystro to color coordinate for us! You've always come across as a happy, creative type... I love the details. Your color combinations have my vote (all three actually!)

Bob, I love abstract art. I'm looking for the perfect piece for my living room. Want to help me with that, too? Just kidding... I'm demanding, huh?

"wooo-whooo" Kathy I'm doing my computer dance ;) Glad to always help. Now I hope it makes the final cut! Catch you on the tube!

Hi Kathy, I know the office will be the bomb no matter what yall decide to do. But that gold is what's up...even with that blue carpet.

Thanks again, everyone.
So we're still waiting for some more "colorful" opinions to pour in...
If you ever feel like adding more comments, feel free.
I honestly like a bit of every idea proposed.. if only we could incorporate them all? now that would be a real challenge.... I'll keep you updated.

Hi everyone.. so i'm turning to the other web producers for their "colorful" opinions.. once i have those i'll list all of the options for everyone to read and take it from there...

sorry, bobby, i didn't speak Ines that day.

That's funny John----pink and football don't mix! Maybe it brought out their feminine side. That'll cause a loss!
A friend of mine is a football coach, and he stategically makes his home team play on the shady side, so the visitors will be blinded by the sun!
Sneaky, but smart!
