I can really see that! I was going to write, I don't like being in dark-walled rooms, and I don't think I'd go for pastel lavender walls, even though I love the color. But Easter Egg purple somehow sounds exactly right!
As an apartment dweller, I'm stuck with shades of white. If I ever find an apartment (or house) I like enough to settle into, I'd probably paint the walls and then repaint them over on moving out. I could see that Easter Egg purple for a bedroom.
As it is, I have purple potholders and eggplant refrigerator magnets in my kitchen. The intention was to have eggplant and iris motifs there, so I could have purple, midnight blue, yellow and orange accents. My stoneware plates are deep blue, and my dishes and mugs are handmade ceramics in shades of purple and deep-to-light blues.
