We usually recommend a mixture of 2-3 colours for that 'perfect' look! :)

Lime and lavander mix on ivory background, like here

My childrens' bedroom is saffron robes orange. It's a Crown colour, can't recall the name on the tin. The room is east facing with a large window and high ceilings so gets the most clear and beautiful morning light, but then needs a bit of a colour boost later in the day to stave off deep shadows. My daughter chose it herself when she was 2 1/2 and she still loves it now, as does her younger brother now he shares with her.

Bright and colourful is the direction I took with my children's bedrooms, and they seem to love it.

I have Orange and cream room for my son. Looks fantastic, little greens pain.

Also my a yellow and blue for number 2 boy, superman colour . Strong but works well.

My daughter has a yellow-walled bedroom and totally loves it!
