A Rainbow of Colors & A Great Giveaway!

This morning while sitting in the office preparing for today's field trip, the principal asked me to step into her office.

I have to tell you even though I'm 26 years old, this still scares me a little. Guess that's my fear of confrontation - of any kind!

Of course it wasn't anything bad. She showed me the blue prints for our new middle school that will be ready in July. Because I was the first one in her room, I got first choice of which classroom I wanted. Of course there are a few set classrooms like the computer lab. But other than that, I got dibs. The first choice was first floor or second floor. I chose second floor. That means next year I will be doing a lot of stair walking. I'm actually looking forward to that.

Once I chose my classroom, she told me that she ordered all furniture in gray so that it would match no matter what color room I had. She told me I get to choose what color my room is. I can choose if I want all four walls painted or just one wall or two walls or whatever basically whatever I want.

At this point I was expecting her to hand me 4 or 5 plain colors to choose from. You know... 5 shades of beige! But no! She handed me and entire book of colors. Every shade of every color imaginable. And I'm supposed to choose one. Doesn't she know that I'm the kind of person who needs to mull this over for awhile.

So I want one your help. It looks like I will be teaching all 7th grade Science with a few classes of 7th grade history thrown in. So when you think of Science class, what color comes to mind. I have a color I'm leaning towards, but I want your opinion.
