We are purchasing a house that is on the small side. Most of the rooms are painted in very dark, strong colours. We want to definitely lighten it up, but I know that recently browns were much in style. I hate brown, and would like it to be lighter anyway. What colours are now in vogue? I kind of like the idea of a tan and sage green theme with yellow accents, but would this be considered icky by most? We may sell the house in a year or so, so don't want to go too crazy and risk lowering the resell value.
