There's an office on our floor with those colors. I like them, but the boss doesn't

Don't go with your companies "colors," it'll probably just annoy others who don't need constant reminder. What about burgundy walls and and olive carpet?

in a professional "office" place:
white walls > any color walls

but, depending on the work environment, company, employees... colors can be "hip" and "modern" and fit better than the standard stark white walls with gray carpet.

oh god I hope that was a joke (those colors). And I'm the only one who's in the office on a daily basis, so if it doesn't bother me, everyone else can kiss my ass.

We are trying to go for a more modern look, so gray carpet plus white walls= no good.

Google "color therapy" ...it sounds ghey, but there are studies shown that certain colors are relaxing and some stimulate activity, etc....

Our office was just remodeled a year ago....we have a berber carpet that has threads of navy, sage green and tan. Our walls are painted and wallpaper (don't ask why they chose to wallpaper...it just looks like faux finish paint)...the colors are all earth tones: cinnamon, sage, butterscotch, etc. The frames on all of our doors are navy blue and our cubicles are a dark tan color with brown trim.
