I disagree that white necessarily creates a bright and soft environment as a rule (if only to demonstrate how much of this colour stuff comes down to opinion). White walls won't save a room with poor natural light; it just ends up looking dingy.
If you have a room with good south/west facing natural light, dark colours can look great and you won't need to put lights on during the day any more than you would in a room with light coloured walls (in my opinion!) The atmosphere will obviously be different but it's not like you won't be able to see the remote control or something

completely disagree with the others, dark paint makes dark rooms, which are miserable.
imagine having to have the lights on during the day because your walls are dark!
paint it white, then have some nice green sofas, carpets, posters and wall hangings, whatever you want. just leave the walls white so you have a nice bright and soft environment to live in.
