2. Red
According to different books, red is a beautiful and bold color that can signify strength, power, passion, courage, joy, and also danger, and sacrifice.
Is a hue that is gorgeous and timeless, so it has long been the color of choice for dining rooms. Truth be told, most red paint hues aren’t appropriate for use in a tiny room.
Red’s vitality and intensity might make a confined space seem too hot to be pleasant and it won’t put you in a good mood. The use of red in a small room should be limited to decorative accents. This is exactly a real case of “less is more.”
Instead of bright red, consider using a more subdued shade of the hue, such as rust or russet, when decorating your area. By choosing this color, you might get the feeling of a rich, warm color without the overwhelming intensity that can be a problem in smaller rooms.

Basically, don’t use white in a small room, or any colors.
Yeah, just blindfold yourself. You won’t see any colors…
what to know if burgundy for the kitchen with dark walnut cabinets all right, light lavender for living room with the dark walnut for window and door frames; sunny yellow for small bedroom and hot pink for bathroom?
Burgundy in kitchen means you won’t be able to see the cockroaches crawling on the walls. Don’t do it, but in bathroom sky blue will be fine.
What colors should I avoid painting in a small room?

what is the best color for a small house. 4 rooms to color
My master bedroom is painted in Sherwin-Williams “Flexible Gray”. It’s a glorious, soft, muted purple tone. When I walk into the room, it feels like a hug.
This article might have been more helpful for people who don’t have a great sense of color/shade/ saturation level, to have included suggestions for color alternatives. Saying “don’t paint a small room white” is a broad generalization for folks overwhelmed by choices. Just my opinion, of course.
What colors ARE best for a small room? I like a warm cozy feel.
I do not agree with the white. White makes a room look bigger and you can add 1 wall with color or use colors you like to accent the room with things like your curtains, pillows etc. Using dark colors on walls of a small room makes a room look much smaller.
