I have a soft aqua green. I love it. I would suggest that you get a few paint samples and use some sheets of large poster board or foam core board to paint swatches on. Then you can prop the boards around the room and audition your choices during different times of the day and night. You might be surprised by what you like then. I thought I'd like yellow for my room but didn't think about the strong morning light. My furniture is mostly white which looks very sharp, too. I made curtains to block out light when it's used as a guest room but am planning to make cafe curtains just for me when it's strictly a sewing room. Hope this helps.
