Oh so am I! I wear very dark, simple color clothes. But quilts are different, no color is off the list when it comes to quilts. I make some wild, some mild! Don't be afraid...nothing bad can happen!
Maybe you need to do a scrappy quilt. Pick colors you like and you know work together, find prints in those colors, and dice them into squares and put them back together at random. If you don't like it, just start showing it to people and when someone loves it, give it to them.
Or maybe a bargello will help, since you use a lot of different fabrics (like 20). They really aren't as hard as they look, I promise! You can mix solids, prints, batiks...anything you want, it's just the prevailing color that matters.
