I've finally decided to do it, repaint my room! I'm just not sure which color to pick...
my comforter is from victoria's secret. it has white and light pink polkadots on one side, and on the other side it has light pink and white stripes. The outside trim of the comforter is a light green.
if you go to the victoria's secret website,click sleepwear, and then click bedding, you'll see it.
I reallly LOVE bright colors, especially blues and my furniture is a dark brown.
any suggestions??
thanks!

omgsh i think a bright teal or aqua blue would look so cute with your room!! that would contrast so well with your furniture... or you could try a magenta, that would look adorable too

If you think about it, it's all very psychological and the color you pick will effect your mood, your sleep, etc. I
can't be sure what color will be right for your room because i don't know the furniture material, color, etc or what you use the room for and how often...so here's a description that will hopefully assist you. All this information is based on surveys conducted by a paint brand company.
BLUE
GOOD: tranquility, harmony, patience, and understanding. Its potential
BAD: passiveness, coldness, and depression. Blue is also a natural appetite suppressant.
RED
GOOD: energy, action, and power, gets attention, stimulates appetite
BAD: confrontational and intimidating, can make ppl anxious.
YELLOW
GOOD: speeds metabolism, highlights
BAD: fatigues eyes, makes babies cry, ppl lose temper more often in yellow rooms.
ORANGE:
GOOD: associated with warmth, cheerfulness, and friendliness. stimulates apetite.
BAD: can attract a lot of attention.
GREEN
GOOD:symbolic for nature, culturally it signifies good health, life, youth freshness, and vigor. it means go. it is the easiest color on the eyes and can help improve vision. popular color in hospitals because it has a calming effect on nervous system and relaxes.
BAD: culturally, it can reflect envy and greed.
BLACK
GOOD: authority, power, sophistication, style, fashionable.
BAD: makes room look smaller, and symbolized evil, death and mourning.
BROWN
GOOD: solid, reliable, creates neutral environment. Men favor brown.
BAD: not a very popular color however.
PURPLE
GOOD: represents wealth, royalty, and passion. its romantic.
BAD: its a feminine only color.
WHITE
GOOD: implies sterility for the germophobes out there! excellent base color, reflects light to make room seem larger, symbolizes purity.
BAD: it gets stained and dirty easily and it can also show that you are afraid to color your room.
good luck with your creative renovation! and remember, you can also use wallpaper if you like more than one color!

I'd take the comfortable to Home Depot or Lowe's or some other paint store that has digital color match and have them make some paint (2 gallons should be plenty) to match either the green trim or the pink.

The use of color is also something very personal. Red and reddish tones are bold, exciting colors which stimulate movement. They are especially suitable for work areas. To make your room more radiant, you can paint the walls in light colors and introduce dashes of color through the furniture, complements, and ornaments.

A light Sage green with Crown moulding would look nice. Crown moulding is very cheap and adds alot to the look of the room. Paint the ceiling white with the Sage walls. and white Crown Moulding
