I t depends on the drama you wish to create in the room. One wall painted in that color will direct your eye to that wall. Having the whole room in that color could make it feel warm and cozy, or dark and depressing. Either way the best way to make everything work to your advantage is to make sure that you accessorize to the best of your ability. If you do one wall in the color than I would make sure you do large dramatic accessories. If you do all the walls than you should take the time and effort to make all the accessories more romantic and pay a lot of attention to the lighting. HAve fun with it.

In your bedroom I think it should be one wall behind the bed. Make it a feature wall where you hang your photos, etc.
Going to sleep should be a restful time so doing all walls may make it to exciting an environment to sleep.
Make sure you have rich dark colours to compliment the colour. Try and have bed sheets, duvets/doona covers, blankets, etc that will bring out the colour.
If later on you can decide if you want to do the lot but just stick with one (or two) walls at the moment.

I'd start with the wall behind your bed as an accent wall. If you are happy with the color or unhappy with only having 1 wall painted, paint them all.

As long as you have some crown molding or something similar with a lighter color to break the space, all is fine. If not, I would try mixing a lighter faux-style color in with a sponge as you paint.

How large is the room? That color sounds oppressive to me. I would go with Benjamin Moore's Chestertown Buff HC-9. It's a soft gold color. I have it in my bedroom with the same colors you have and I love it.

just paint the biggest wall and leave the rest an ivory color or whatever you have now if it coordinates. I have seen alot of rooms done this way and they look great. Good luck

I agree with just doing one large wall. But just because you like one doesnt mean you should do them all. Just leave it as an accent wall and it will look awesome!

Any coler is ok. Pick a color that matches your mode.Examples:
blue and gold if you are mostly sad
red and gold if you are mostly angry
yellow and gold if you are mostly happy
