Which bulletin board color should I use?

I'm doing an ocean theme (not very extreme though - just small accents) and would like to keep all my bulletin boards the same color. I plan to use black border with small white dots on all my boards. I'm so conflicted about which color fabric to buy for the boards - black or a bright light blue?

 

BLUE!

 

I have an ocean theme too, and I use both black and blue! The black is great as a word wall background, and it makes student work POP! The blue is great because it goes with all things seasonal and it's a nice, calming color.

Sorry, I guess that didn't help you much, did it? If you want just one, go with the blue.

 

I like dark blue and a lighter blue (depths of ocean)

 

I would use a blue color - personally I love turquoise with black & white.

 

Yes! I am thinking like a teal sort of blue, with the black and white border... This is the border:

Bulletin Color

Definitively aqua color. You can get fabric in that color at JoAnn's. That would really pop!

 

I would go with blue for an ocean theme, but I use black quite often. I think I'm going to use black fabric this year to cover my bb. I've never used fabric before. Does the black fabric fade over time?

 

I vote blue as well! Also, polka dots are my absolute favorite, so I love the border you picked!

 

I would go with a torquise with that black and white. Not regular light blue. I agree that black is great for a word wall.

 

I agree with the blue and the black for a word wall.
Nice border.

 

Absolutely the blue! I think that colorful bulletin boards brighten the room.

 

I used black for my word wall last year - it worked.

I also had purple, dark green and blue - I thought they were good colors and calming.

 

I too vote for blue!
