I like cream, or an off white beige, for what it's worth.

Ours are magnolia - a compromise on white which can be a bit too sterile for the waiting room which we wanted to appear a little easier on the eye. But it's not washable which is a nightmare for spot-cleaning (meaning we do more "re-painting" than normal). Other practices I have been at have their waiting rooms/cons rooms painted in cool pastel colours e.g. pale green or blue which look good as long as they match the floor/wall tiles :-) Does your practice have a colour scheme in the company logo you could use for inspiration...?

can I suggest looking at 'the grocer' website - they have some really interesting information (or used to leastways - you may have to check the archives) on the colours that are welcoming, the colours that help people to be at ease and the colours that help people to spend even. - they also give the colours that help to move people along because they arent so welcoming or easy on the eye ie if you paint your restroom area mostly in yellow with one 'discord' wall like a bright purple you can cut down on the time people will spend in there.

Ours are a pale mint green colour. Looks fresh and clean though wish the paint was more resilient to scrubbing off the stains as paler patches are starting to appear four years on from painting new building!
