Minneapolis Moline

What color do you think I should paint my room?

So, my dad said that maybe I could paint my room, and I really have no idea what color/s that I want.

I was thinking maybe-
Dark Blue/Red- The Minnesota Twins colors
Light Purple
or
Prairie Gold (Like the Minneapolis-Moline tractors)

The only colors that I don't want are any shades of Pink/Black.

Do you guys have any suggestions? I'll take any colors into consideration.

Thanks!

This is an easy one:

Start with an inspiration piece and work your way out.

In other words, go to Walmart, Kmart, Target, Kohls, etc., and peruse their throw pillow aisles. Find something that you LOVE (with cool colors/pattern) and buy it!

If you like the red/blue color combo, use it, but use it in conjunction with a third color like white or tan. For the purple/gold combo, green would look nice as a third color.

Without thinking about tractors or baseball teams, let's just say you fell in love with this throw pillow:

In this scenario, you could have your walls painted a light lavender/gray. If you wanted, you could add a 6"-8" dark plum or fuschia border to the top and bottom of the walls. Your bedding could be in green/cream, and the accents in the room (throw pillows, lampshades, area rug) could be green.

See what other color schemes 'speak' to you then don't be afraid to expand on it by adding another color.
