Havana Here We Come!

NB: the Gallery is not relocating to Cuba. But in the Great Debate about what color to paint the walls, the possibility of Seafoam Green has consistently reared its soothing and tropical head. I only wonder whether it will complement the artwork? 

The debate started when my friend Chris Fisher posted a picture of Hemingway's writing room in Havana:

Those walls!

After researching trends in gallery wall colors (apparently white is passe (though classic) — being replaced with darker colors reminiscent of established museums), I started gravitating back to Hemingway's color. Is it the perfect mix between classic and modern/progressive? Well, anyway, then I go to the bookstore last night and open House Beautiful Magazine (May edition), to the following page (you can click on the page for a larger version):

A sign! Waterscape by Sherwin-Williams looks promising, though greener than Hemingway's room. Should it be Waterscape, or something with a little more blue to make a very light turquoise/teal a la Ernest?

Or... should I stick with a warm white, to let the colors on canvas speak for themselves?
