The use of color is also something very personal. It stimulates our senses, power our mood, and helps create a particular ambiance. How we respond to an individual color depends on our nature, extroverts tend to feel happy with bold colors, while introverts prefer more passive colors.
Through using specific combinations of color, combined with a careful consideration of simple color schemes is often the most effective.
Try not to use more than one or two principal colors in a room, as well as a contrasting or balancing tone. The best way to choose a background color for the room is to trial with a palette of different shades and tones, in combination with the color and textures of the furniture and materials. Remember the general color schemes of a home have to be in agreement. The walls define the space in a room, while the colors, to a large degree, define the mood.
Colored light, furnishing materials, and structural proportions, we can create a home that is welcoming, helpful, and comfortable. Walls are similar to background music: each color tone is like a musical note can create a pleasant-sounding harmony while others grate with each other.
The color with which we surround ourselves will without doubt have an effect on us, and so it is important to feel comfortable with our choice. A discussion with a professional color consultant can help to decide individual needs and select appropriate color.
Colors can be divided into three main groups: those that stimulate and uplift, those that relax and calm, and those that provide harmony or balance. So, having taken a number of things into thought when decorating a room, such as the size of the space, the amount of light, the function if the room, and the style and mood we wish to create, we finally, and most importantly, need to consider the needs of the people who use it.

this is such a hard question to answer cos it's a matter of taste and function. I love complementary colors together (turquoise and coral); I love warms together (orange, reds, pinks) for the bedroom, living areas to add some energy to a room. Muted soft shades are relaxing for a bedroom tho--like a warm biscuit white with other neutrals, like a creamy cafe au lait brown.
i think you should have an idea of what feel for the room you want to create--energetic, relaxing,etc. and that depends on what you're gonna be doing in that room--what is its function?

That depends on what kind of colors you want and what color scheme. Look at a color wheel and decide which colors you think would look best together in your eyes. Generally any shades of one specific color(monochromatic), two colors next to each other(anologous), or two colors opposite of each other on the color wheel(complimentary) are good.

This is such a personal thing, what pleases one person, someone else will hate.
My favourites are very deep blue, almost a navy, lots of crisp white, and complementary greens.
Pumpkin and very deep purple.
Antique green and very dusty soft pink.
