You may love bold colour but are afraid to use it. A room would be very overwhelming if you were to paint it bright orange. Blocks of bold colour have a lot more impact in a space. If you following the 60/30/10 rule design rule you can’t go wrong.  60% of your colour scheme should from one colour family (usually most people will pick a neutral such as gray, creams, browns, taupes, beiges).   30% can be from another colour family and 10% would be your bold colour.  An example of different types of colour families would be warm colours versus cool colours. This keeps your decorating scheme in balance.
