Are your walls neutral colors or do you accent with bright colors??
Our new house is freshly painted with a nice neutral cream (white trim) and I'm considering leaving them like that...at least for now! We'll be painting the baby's room but that's it I think.
In our old house we painted our living room burgundy and we had both one blue and one yellow bathroom!

I love using mostly neutrals and having accent walls with pops of color! We don't have any currently, but our house is open concept and our kitchen is a bright green while the living space is a taupy neutral.

Our main walls are neutral, but we hae a couple pops here adn there. The guest room has 3 green walls, our nursery has a green wall, and our hallway is a golden/yellowish color with texture (from the previous owners, too cool to switch!)

We have color. I guess one could say our living and dining rooms are neutral. They're gray. Our kitchen is a bright blue, our bathroom pink, our room red, and LO's room green. Our hallway is soon to be a goldish yellow with a brown accent wall. I really like color!

My house has neutral walls. I like neutral walls and then using accessories to up the personality and color.

Our main spaces are white - mostly because we have this setup with vaulted ceilings and the rooms all connect, so it will be a huge undertaking to paint and we'll have to pay someone 
But the smaller more contained spaces are colorful. Not bright bright, but medium shades of green, yellow, blue, pink.
My parents house is full of seriously bright/bold colors. I love it, but it's taken them a few years of living with certain colors and refinining the shades to get all of the combinations just right.

Our kitchen is light green and one bathroom is yellow. Both rooms were like that when we moved in. The other bathroom had wallpaper, which we removed and painted burgundy-ish. Everything else is beige. We have a lot of artwork on the walls.

When we own a home I'd definitely like to do a mixture of more neutral colors (soft browns, blues and grays) with some bold bright accent walls.

I'm semi-neutral I guess--a mix of neutral colors and colorful things. At our new place our bedroom is a super light gray and the living/dining area is a soft, grayish blue. The kitchen and bathroom cabinets are either a mushroom gray or a soft, avocado green (kitchen is green on top and gray on bottom) and the walls will be a mocha color. The baby's room is a Tiffany-ish blue. I haven't decided what to paint the hallway or the office.
In our current place, the colors are a little bolder but there are fewer of them--light blue bedroom, peanut butter living/dining, teal bathroom.

We have walls that are pretty neutral (grays mostly) but we do have a dark, beautiful red in the dining room which provides more than enough color for the downstairs.
Honestly, if I were living in a house with fresh, neutral paint I would just keep it that way! We felt like we had to paint when we moved in because it appeared that the old owners let their kids kick the walls on a daily basis. There were so many marks on the walls!

I love colour. Right now, we have mostly beige walls with maroon accent walls. I want to paint, but right now I'm enjoying playing in my garden. I'll save painting for when it's colder out.

My main rooms (living room, entry, dining room, halls) are grey. We have bright colored curtains, pillows, and accessories. Our bedroom, office, and bath is a bright blue. We plan to paint the kitchen green and guest room yellow.

Most of the house is a creamy colour with white trim, but I have a lime green wall in the kitchen and my little entryways are robins egg blue. Makes me happy.

I don't know if I am as much of a fan of "bright" colors as I am of "bold" colors.
Our dining room is dark gray/charcoal, our bedroom has a dark burnt orange wall, DD's room is a pretty light turquoise, and our bathroom is a dark grayish purple. Our kitchen is this horrible grass green color--it was like that when we moved in. I am dying to paint it but I can't imagine taking the cabinets off to paint, or even trying to paint around them. UGH.
Everything else (guest room, living room, hallway) are this beige color that I am not really a fan of, but I have decorated the crap out of them so it kind of detracts from the wall color.
I am loving bright white lately... I would love to replace my beige walls with white!
