My daughter painted her new room yellow with white trim, and it looks really bright and cheerful in the pictures she sent.

Hmmm... yellow.... Might not be to bad, but i've been thinking of a darker color then what i've got now in my room... White so anything really is better then that. bright yellow, Lime green or sky blue is the current front runners.

I find really dark works well too. I had a very small (10' x 10') den in our old house that had five windows. I painted the walls and trim all the same dark red and it was really cozy.
The lime green sounds good too, though. Like sitting inside a Key Lime pie. :P (Or a Margarita!)

Wow.. 10'x10'? That's about the size of i'll be getting but it's only got 2 windows. As for the lime green... well my family and myself are long time daimler-chrysler owners. I've always loved the lime green that the plymouth hemi-cuda was painted...even though it was two tone. Man... if I had the time and money I'd paint the walls up with artwork but thats just a dream at this point. I'm going to have to take a good look though at what really looks good on the wall before I make the final discission.

Lime green? Not my choice of room color, but then, it isn't my room. Sky blue would probably look real nice, though. The pale color might give the room a more airy feeling, while deeper colors may make it seem smaller.

My room was a really odd asparagus color when I moved in, but it's now sky blue. Lighter colors will help the room look bigger. You could always paint three walls one color and one differently.
Or you could leave it pink. It'd match pretty much all of the KP merchandise in the US.

I could be thinking wrong though... I cant help but think when I'm feeling sick and in bed .... ok Greens out. I'm going to have to take a good look at what the yellow and blue look like.

White or light gray with a mild tint of green or blue has always worked well for me. It's not so glaring that you get tired of it and most good quality primers will cover the previous color (sure you want to get rid of the pink? We could chip in for a My Little Pony Lamp ).

Oh, Please no! Not my little pony!? My older sister is a my little pony fanatic! She's been to local fan club gatherings and had a friend of this come all the way from Spain to visit. Please dont torture me anymore with it...
