Well, let me tell ya, choosing the right paint for a basketball locker room ain’t as easy as it sounds. You gotta think about a whole bunch of things like the feel you want in the room, how the colors mix with the furniture, and what kind of mood you’re hopin’ to set. Now, if you ask me, neutral paint colors are the way to go—grays, beiges, whites, and tans, they all work wonders. They don’t go fightin’ with anything, you see. They just blend right in and make the…
