Makes me sad to see all the peach and pink hate - I love it. But not on the walls, just accents here and there. I did, however, paint my coffee table fuchsia. And I also painted a vintage headboard peach (was originally pale yellow).
This has been interesting to read. I have to agree with all the mauve dusty rose choices, not a fan. I do have to confess, I love orange and have at least a hint of it in most rooms.
I agree...I love orange too. I would LOVE to have this bathroom! It makes me happy
For walls, I'm going to say white/off-white or any bottom shade on the color strip. I just like more saturated color than that. I love white trim & pale, non-white ceilings though.
I loathe white walls. And I am so sick to death of grey/greige/beige. My entire place is colors everyone else seems to hate...deep purples, teals and greens.

This is very pretty. If I was staying in a guest house this would be appealing. If I had to brush my teeth here daily, not so much.
Any midtone would work in this space. Midtones are popular right now. SW's Exclusive Plum and BM's Breath of Fresh Air, their "colors of the year" would be beautiful in this space.

I love deep purples, teals, (some) greens, and gray/greige and white.
I think that I like color so much because my mom has always used white/off white on walls. Right now her house is the wrong white, and to add insult to injury, it is not great quality paint. She also wears beige and the pastel colors that are 'no way' colors for my home and my wardrobe. Love my mother, but hate her choice of non colors.l ol
There are the obvious ones like forest green and mauve, but I'm also not a big fan of chocolate brown. Almost every room in my previous house was painted some shade of brown and I haaaaated it. The master bedroom in my current house was dark brown when I moved in. I know it's a popular color and I don't hate it in other people's homes but I can't stand it in mine. I guess I prefer cool colors over warm ones.
My parents have neighbors who were married right out of college.
The husband stepped out on the wife as part of his very ordinary and trite midlife crisis. He moved his very recently a high school cheerleader into his bachelor pad after a couple months. He came home from work one day to find his new honey very excited to have painted their bedroom in her high school colors- orange and black with a block letter P on the wall behind the bed.
He crawled home to his wife on his hands and knees begging forgiveness.
Pink, and any variation on it. Peach, flamingo, pastel, you name it, not in my house. Which is funny because I will wear it no problem.
I came in here to say the same thing. I LOVE pink, but not as paint. Our 2nd bathroom is currently MAUVE, I can't wait to get rid of it. Everything else, I could give it a shot in the right room.

DS chose to paint his room the colors of his soccer team. He was 8. Just sayin.

Honestly, I think the WAY the color is being used is a determining factor. I mean, dark wood cabinets were hot in the 70s, but there is a huge difference between this:
and this:
The same way there is a difference between purples:
This is my bedroom. It's a crappy phone pic but it's a deep plum and I love it. It could fall into the purple or burgundy categories.

Good point.
I love your bedroom color, but in my mind, there is no way that would be classified as purple or burgundy. I take my plum very seriously. ;p
