Yes ! This color has worked very well for me , especially with my design wall. No clashing ! Really like the up color.

Where ever you can set up a corner, closet etc . you can do this too , it does not have to be a room.

I would use the lighter greens as green is a calming color.

I have a very bright green, like granny smith apple, because I love it, it's energizing and makes me happy. I don't think I've had a problem matching fabric colors so far.

Mine is yellow and I love it. It's a happy place and for some reason, leaving a mess in a yellow room is not as bad as leaving a mess in a different color room.

It used to be very pink - looked like a flamingo blew up in it and the only thing that color motivated me to do was fly on out of there. lol

Agree with others who say not to go too intense because you don't want to get distracted.

I'd say a soft yellow. Get sample paints to see if the color is too bright. You don't want to get headaches, just liven upthe room. Paint can have blk pigments so testing out the color by painting patches of it helps. Depends on your windows, shadows, lightiing, etc to determine color.
Have fun and hopewe het to see your pics of the new rm.

I would stick with something neutral like cream, a pale creamy yellow or pale green.

Thank you, I love it too. Of course it seldom looks like that any more. It's FAR more messy!

My room is small too, 9' x 11'. Right now it is a pale pinkish beige. I am not a yellow person at all, but I've seen lots of pictures in quilt magazines of quilting studios and the wall color that appeals to me most is a pale butter yellow. Go figure! I think it was "Me and My Sister" design studio that I first noticed. I am not planning on repainting any time soon, but when I do it will be yellow.
