I painted my living room this weekend. (Actually, my father and sister painted it, I was in another room painting something else, but anyway)
I chose a bright spring green, to match the fabric of my ottoman that will soon be residing there. The ottoman fabric is a 1950's barkcloth atomic pattern, with sections of it in the same bright spring green. Now this paint is bright. Very bright. I happen to love it, although other people that have seen it have rather interesting things to say about it.
Below is a list of some comments made regarding my new living room walls:
"I'm Blind."
"Can you hand me a pair of sunglasses?"
"This color is the color of toxic waste."
"This is brighter than Sarah's car." (my sister has a blindingly yellow car)
"I'm nauseous."
"Maybe it'll look calmer when your furniture is in here."
"Wow. That's quite a color."
Now, I love the color. The room is rather small, so it really brightens up the space. Trust me. It'll all come together.
Plus, everyone that walked into the room grinned like an idiot, so i'm pretty sure the paint contains some sort of "smile-inducing" agent.

Not only will the room "look Calmer" all the furniture will HIDE the walls A bit. Also the curtains out of the ottoman fabric will tone it down. At least you do not have to fear your guests will fall asleep while visiting!
Still love ya - mom
PS Think I will help in the WHITE kitchen next! Or outside in the SOFT green nature of your gardens!
