Answer 2

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think it would look cool to paint your walls three different colors in large horzontal stripes around the whole room. Measure the height of your wall, and then divide it by 3. Then paint the top third something like "futon" (# 7101) the middle slightly darker like "impressive ivory" (# 7560) and the bottom third darker still like "sierra redwood" (# 7598). It's a cool effect + those color will last you for several years & will match heaps of different bedding colors.

You can also take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions & they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
