What colour to paint walls in conservatory?

Arfa__

Just had our conservatory built and now we're trying to decide what colour to paint the walls. The conservatory is white uPVC, Edwardian style, with Pilkington blue glass roof. There's a dwarf wall on two sides, a 3/4 wall one side and then the back wall of the house. The floor will be dark grey tiles.

Just not sure what colour would work well, particularly with the blue glass. Just worried the blue glas is filtering the spectrum a little which could make some colours look odd.

What colours have you painted yours, what worked well?

i painted a customers conservatory walls in a duck egg blue which with the white woodwork looked good
does you conservatory get a lot of sun if it does then you could get away with stronger colours , if it doesn't then go for something lighter

We have exactly the same thing, we emulsioned our a pale yellow/lemon.

Westerly facing, so sun in morning until about 2pm ish. So yeah, maybe a lighter colour is best.

If it gets sun in the morning, it must be east-facing.

We have a large kitchen, and we painted our walls a 50/50 mix of lemon fizz and some other lemon. The result looks good, and makes the kitchen bright and welcoming.
I reckon it would work on a conservatory as well.
