    play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

    I think it would look fab to paint your room "summit gray" (# 7669). It will make the white & aqua really POP.

    You can also take a photo of your room & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

    You can get color suggestions & they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

    Since white pairs with almost everything I would suggest you try some overlapping colors to create the look of different colored bricks. This would come in handy when/if you decide to change your pillow colors. Try the brick pattern on the wall your headboard sits on. Use something like a seafoam green, an orange, brown, and a yellow. To create the look start with the brown and randomly paint sections equivalent to a brick, on the wall, then use the orange to do the same thing, then the green and finally the yellow until the wall is finished. For the rest of the walls choose the color that stands out the most from the brick wall and use that color to paint a thick border in the center of the remaining walls.

    "Tidewater" from Sherwin William's is a nice soft aqua color. Very tranquil and relaxing. Your color combination you chose is very nice. You have a knack for coordinating colors together. Good luck!

    What about a light brown? Very light. It will make your bedding pop.

    or a sky blue or turquoise?
