Lighter Color

Paint a short hallway with dark-colored carpet a light color. For example, use a pale lemon or a sky-blue paint, or even a neutral such as off-white. Select a light color that complements the dark carpeting. The light color will open the confined space, giving it a brighter tone and atmosphere than a dark color.
Dark Color

Paint a hallway with dark carpets a dark color that matches the carpet. This gives a uniform design and flow as family and guests walk through the area. Dark colors such as chocolate brown, navy blue or forest green provide an earthy atmosphere to the hallway. However, dark colors tend to close-up and confine small spaces.
