There are plenty of color schemes for you to choose from. Let's take a look at some broad color schemes.
Red, orange, and yellow are exciting colors which will make the room look bright and pleasant. A good combination of these colors will surely enhance the beauty of your bedroom. Opt for light shades of these colors, as dark or jazzy shades may look too overwhelming.

However, you can choose a darker shade for the theme or feature wall, and go for softer hues on the remaining walls. Warm colors should not be used for small bedrooms, as they will make it look even smaller.

Neutral colors are those colors whose brightness is suppressed or improved using a complementary color. Colors like beige, cream, gray, and sand come under neutral colors. These colors give a soothing and cool effect to the bedroom.
A calm and cozy bedroom helps get a good sleep at night. If the bedroom is small, then choosing neutral colors is a smart way of making it look bigger.

Tips for Choosing the Right Colors
Take a look at the size of your bedroom and decide if you want to make it look bigger, and also if you want to implement any special theme or keep it simple.
The color of the bedroom walls should also complement the color of the furniture. Try to understand more about different color combinations. You can also look at different photographs of bedrooms with different wall colors.
Kids' bedrooms are a great idea to experiment with different colors. If it's a boy's bedroom, you can use bright colors and implement some youthful color scheme; while for a girl's bedroom, you can use pink or lavender shades for the walls.

There are a number of interior painting and texture techniques available, like sponging, ragging, and many more. Experiment on a part of the wall with these painting techniques before implementing them.
If you are unable to visualize how the colors will look on the walls, experiment with a virtual interior painting. To get an idea of how the color will look, try coloring a small area of the wall, and let it dry.
Bedroom wall colors should be chosen in such a way that they reflect your mood and personal interests. Decorate the interior of the bedroom such that it will blend well with the color scheme of the walls.
