I was thinking of the product that Parts Express sells.
"

These may not be the colours you are interested in but I'm sure a google would put you in the right direction.
Why stop with paint or vinyl? I'm pretty sure that some wallpapers might give you the right look as well.
I'm suggesting these as options as I think they would be easier to change as your wall colour changes.
or is everybody beige, beige, beige?
I'll admit to being a user of colour. Our living room is magenta with a darker tone of the same paint on the fireplace wall.
