The dealer is trying to determine what style of carpet you might be interested in.
Carpet darker than walls.
But a home owner who is re decorating will want to explore the many varieties available to them.
Think navy blue burgundy and black.
Either way stainmaster carpet is a good choice.
Consider installing darker color carpets in rooms where there is significant foot traffic to hide dirt and stains.
Choosing carpet paint color.
When in doubt a neutral color carpet is the best choice no matter the color of the walls.
If your room has a lot of natural light the color of the carpet will look mostly the same as the sample.
Possibly a cream or multi colored carpet.
However if you re adding carpet to a dark room it might look a few shades darker than the sample.
Dark gray walls you ll probably want to open up the house some and choose a lighter colored carpet.
A home s walls and flooring make up a large highly visible area so they have to be in sync if you want decor harmony instead of designer dysfunction.
As for my preference i always like the walls to be lighter because it makes the room brighter and seem more open.
Beige will work with bold carpet colors.
Lighter gray walls go great with darker colors.
A home seller is going to want to select a neutral toned carpet in a simple style like a cut pile texture.
For example a cream carpet may appear lighter if you have several windows in your bedroom.
Select a carpet that is two shades lighter or darker than the walls for optimal visual interest.
