Only you can decide what colour your happy with.
It's such a personal thing.
Some "experts" say look in your wardrobe for colours you like.
Also try and find out what colours work for your neighbours' rooms.
What colour is that carpet?
You could take a sample of the carpet to a paint shop and ask for tones which will work with it. -
Realistically you'll be able to make most colours work. Some might take more effort in finding furniture, etc that matches so have a think about sofas, art you like, etc before settling 100% on a colour.
If you're only painting walls then repainting isn't that tough if you decide to change your mind. One thing I would say though is go for some tough paint. Stuff that scuffs and marks as soon as you brush against it is a real hassle.
I want to paint my living room calke green or something like that but everyone person I ask for their opinion says it is too dark and to go for a light colour.
On the selling point around sofas.... is that going to deter a buyer when I sell it?
I was thinking about a light colour and then a statement wall but can't see how that would work with picture rails with white above the rail.
