Someone please help me choose a color for a stand.

[Townes_Van_Camp]

I am building a stand to sit exactly where the tank and stand are now. Approximately what you see now. Except I will be putting on a natural finish teak board top as well as a separate leaf that is 12 inches wide and runs the length of the stand and comes around to the front for a couple of inches.

But I want the body of the stand to be painted. I'm not adverse to something loud or vibrant either.

What color would you put on that, in this space? It's hard to see because of the tanks. But my walls are taupe.

Also, yes that side table looks like a scary place to put a tank. The legs on the current stand are steel braced1/2 for half of their length.

Nice looking pup!

Not the best with colors.
I would say the same ish brown. Maybe a dar brown.
You could also do a gray if you wanted.

Mine has a black stand but my bedroom is also a diffrent color scheme.

Most spoiled bird dog on the planet, Oliver.

He brings me house slippers in lieu of dead varmint interlopers. Which he brings me in lieu of dead pheasant, quail, and grouse (of which there is an absolute lack of here in NE Florida)

I would prefer a house slipper over a dead or alive animal.
All my dog brings me is a headache from all the barking and his squeaky toy.

Which he only sqweeks when I'm watching TV or doing something that I don't want other sound.

I hadn't thought of that. I was leaning towards more un-natural colors. But dark seems to make more sense.

I vote a dark teal.

I vote a dark teal.

That could be good!

I was thinking on that also, like a teal or turquoise shaded gray. Or a gray shaded teal.

I should just make it white and not care. For whatever reason I hate when a tank stand "just holds a tank"

Are the curtains more gold in color or more beige? I think if they are more gold, a dark burnished gold that has a lot of black pigment mixed in could look pretty slick. I'd do like a 60/40 gold to black pigment so it's dark but picks up the gold and other warm highlights in the room.

They are more burlap beige with dark maroon as a sesconday and a few cream colored threads as well.

I guess that I should show this also, it sits in the same room on an adjoining wall.

I was thinking more like lions, he looks a lot like a Rhodesian Ridgeback.

Personally, I'd go with grey but if you want some color (seems everything goes with taupe) I though this was nice.
