what color should i paint my bedroom?

my parents are having another baby, so they are making me move downstairs to a bedroom that they built. its fairly big, almost the size of my parents’ room. the bottom half of the wall sticks out a few more inches than the top along two of the walls, and there is a window that is about what i think would be average "bedroom-sized". I’m a laid back 16 year old girl. I’ve already had my bedroom light purple, and light orangish. i don’t like yellow, and i really love my duvet cover (medium brown) so i don’t really want to change it. any suggestions?

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 a green like "garden grove" (# 6445) would look stunning with the brown.

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.

    Next time you go to the local home-store, grab a lot of paint ‘chips’ (those cards that have color samples on them) and throw them around the room and against the duvet cover. You’ll likely find combinations that you didn’t realize that you like or ideas for multiple colors or schemes. I’ve found that deep red (wine) walls go well with brown focal points.
