Selecting a paint color

[Sparker]

I thought of the cheesecake I ate and the colors in the cheesecake. A search turned up this pic with more options:

I could paint my bedroom one or more of those colors, print a giant pic of cheesecake and put that on a wall, and/or eat the last slice of cheesecake.

My GF has her art studio partially in that color.

The living room has one of those neutral colors, not quite enough of anything to be labelled as a color. It has amber wood molding, probably shellacked, around the windows and doors. I'm leaning towards a light sand color, something lighter than amber and brighter than beige. A light blue would provide chromatic complementary contrast to the amber. A light pink would technically work, but I associate it with girls' dollhouses and similar childishness. Walls that look like actual sand can be done with more work and special paint.
