I have the same colour feature wall as Maz in Nina's room. Hers is a huge room, with white tiles, white walls and white furniture. I have added other colour by putting up paintings that the girls have done on 3 large canvasses.
I love colour but I think I've been converted to the idea of a fairly neutral colour scheme for walls and carpet which you can then tart up with canvases, rugs, bed linen. Plus I don't like to go from room to room and be bombarded by a different colour scheme in each.
So I've done both mine and DD's room with soft green walls and brown carpet. Pinks, reds, purples all look good against this.
It took me 14 years to decide what colour walls/carpet I wanted so I was hesitant to choose something too bold as I knew it could be another 14 years to be bothered to change it!
Child Elder had a pink room at my old house. She wanted it hot pink but we overrode her and it was painted a very pale dusky pink with one wall in a more vibrant pink, and all her furniture is white. Her current room is a pale beige, but she can go pink again when we move later this year. We don't plan on staying at our current house more than about 18 months.
All of her stuff is either pink or white so her room looked kind of like an explosion in princess factory. She's actually got rid of all her toys and trinkets that aren't pink or white or crystal (transparent), which is weird, but normal for her, so her room looks seriously like a magazine room with perfectly matched toys instead of a real kid's room. Her little sister, surprise surprise, literally doesn't have a single pink or white toy. Her room is butter yellow and pale green with timber furniture and most of her toys seem to be brown - pretty standard for teddybears
Edit: forgot she convinced someone to buy her a large sparkly pink deep shag pile rug so not even the floor has escaped the pinkness
