Panel Color?
I’ve decided to go with GIK panels and bass traps for my media room, but am struggling with which color to pick.
The room is in dark green color, and below is the color options from GIK: I am thinking of black. Suggestions? 3FCD8BF0-762E-4C76-BA6F-53D5A53B54F2-3142-0000029F93F1FCB2.jpeg Last edited by jdandy; 06-08-2018 at 10:20 PM. Reason: enlarge photo |

Han.......Burgundy or Coffee are most appealing to me.

Panel Color?
Are you conservative or flashy? It really comes down to your style.
For me it’s a matter of making them blend in rather than stand out (some would argue go with a color that stands out or accents something in the room). Based on green walls, I’d choose black, coffee, or hunter green. But then again, I can imagine myself walking into a room and seeing the red on green and thinking, damn, I never would have done that but it works! I suggest getting a roll of wrapping paper in the colors you think you might like and taping a sheet of it to your wall to get an idea of what works and what doesn’t.

Conservative. I also thought of the red on green effect you described Thanks, wrapping paper as a test is good idea. |

Have you checked out their art panels? I did upgraded white material on my soffit bass traps and three custom art panels for my rear wall. Looks very good.

However, really thanks for this suggestion, because I can use several ArtPanels in my listening room, which has a blank front wall now. |

Han - I ordered the corner traps from GIK in burgundy, I think they look great. Nice color.

Panel Color?
I think GIK uses Guildford of Maine fabrics or you can get them as an option. FR 701 is the industry standard and comes in a lot of custom colors.
At any rate take the time to get a swatch book from GIK and/or GoM to see the fabrics as they will actually appear, not how they look on your (probably) uncalibrated monitor. Also look at color combos from designers like Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfinger. They have some great Hunter/Navy/Burgundy combos. Tom

Just let your wife choose, that way you can spend more $$$ on equipment and you will say, “but I let you choose the Panels’ Colors, what more do you want from me?”
