need advice on color [View all]

Hi all - this is my first post in this group, hoping I can get some advice from the artists here. I am furnishing a room and I want to do the color right. There's so many choices for color and I feel I just don't have the knowledge or skill beyond "I know what I like". Any advice or links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
