What color paint would go with these blinds?

What color paint would go with a bedroom containing silver/aluminum color mini-blinds? I'm 26/male so please keep that in mind. I want something not too gloomy but not too happy. Something relatively lively but not too much. Thanks!
Light blue or light gray.

Depending on the light in the room.... If well lit by natural light then you can use "cool" colours (deep,dark blues..dusty greens... dusty rose or maybe teal)
Check your local paint store for samples and look at them in the room.

One idea is that you could totally ignore them and put up curtains. Then you could get curtains, bedspread, small carpet to match (or that you like) and the blinds wouldn't show because they would either be UP or closed behind the curtain.
Mushroom/antique white is always a good color for walls--it's a very light color that isn't bright white but it compliments all your other stuff. (like the new curtains and bedspread)
Hope this helps:
These are $14.99---hardware runs you $1.50

then for the bed:
$30--and you could put on blue sheets or red or just the same old ones you already have.

you could pick up used furniture or get new stuff that is black or white or you could paint it.
It's a respectable fix to your problem...jane

Sherwin Williams has a color called "special gray" that might work well for you:

Although it is a gray, I don't think it's glum or depressing because it's a cool color and it has just enough violet in it to make it pleasing without being too feminine.
