1. You could do a bright green with a funky bright blue or teal with orange stripes or polka dots! :D
2. Do you like Red? Maybe not a bright red, but maybe a deep one. If you want two colors than I suggest Green and Yellow.
3. i'm actually not too nuts on purple either but my room is 2 different tones of purple and i actually like it. i was like 12 or 13 when we did it and i didn't like it at the time b/c i thought it was too old looking but now that i'm 19 i like it a lot better. what my dad and his friend did was paint it the lighter color and let it dry, then went back over it with a darker tone and before that dried, they took shop cloths and wiped all over randomly and it turned out neat looking. we have a lot of paint techniques going on in our house. you could try leathering- paint the color of your choice and while it's still wet, put plastic on it (flappy-like, not flat) and pull it back off and it's supposed to look leathery. lime green is a fun color my sister is painting her room white, then taking a few other colors and slinging them everywhere. it's gonna be awesome looking. you coud do graffitti, hand prints, foot prints, draw stuff and paint it. all these would look pretty neat in any color. you could get smaller amounts of several kinds of paint and just go wild with it. have fun!
4. A soft sea blue and deep chocolate brown are very popular colors that go well together. It's also easy to find matching accessories in these colors. These colors are very classy, cute, and you'll like them when you're older as well. Want something a little brighter? A nice sea foam or garden/soft green is nicely accented with a white cream or soft yellow. Something fun to do on one wall is to create a harlequin pattern using a stencil and then outlining it with ribbon and tacks. This creates a beautiful giant bulletin board. Good luck!
5. You need to see some photos and then decide what u like, here's a zipped folder with about 90 pics with different room decorates and wall colors, free to download ;-) http://www.4shared.com/file/53073127/25f77864/Home_decorateZIP.html?dirPwdVerified=2ac5ca4a
