That’s nothing, let me see if I can find a pic from when we bought our house. The entire second floor was yellow walls with dark yellow baseboards and a third color yellow for the accent walls! They even painted the windows and doors yellow

Now that is committing to a color scheme.

I actually love yellow, but only certain yellows! The ceiling in our bedroom is a colour called lemon peel 
and we have tiles in that colour in the bathrooms, too. But I can’t stand 1990s yellow.

The previous owner of our house must have loved pink, because it was everywhere in the master bedroom & all the outside doors are painted pink (including the garage door!). Even the inside of the garage is pink - every wall and the ceiling. They used a couple different shades, so it looks kind of silly, but it’s a garage and we haven’t cared enough to change it.

Congratulations @tendstowardschaos ! Those floors are GORGEOUS! SO glad you didn’t have to battle for your choices, too.
All y’all with the yellows! Oof. Yellow is the hardest color to pick in my opinion. Going big with it is a big risk, because it could so easily go wrong. I look TERRIBLE in yellow, so I’m disinclined to choose it for anything, even a coin purse.

I also can’t wear it, so being in rooms with that color made me feel very washed out and blah…I don’t mind yellow in small doses or in art, but yeah, It is not my first choice either.
I know I struggle with that Sunshine Swap…yellow overload and I always hope for a partner that likes oranges more than yellows! ha

My bedroom used to be pink when this was my in-laws’ house. Floor to ceiling.
Everyone has their own style. I love it when people use color, though. Years of apartments and condos and my step-mother’s design choices (white, white, white, and more white) - I really appreciate some color. As a kid, I only got to pick my room color once. It was bubblegum pink with a unicorn kingdom wallpaper border.
Lol, I found it:

White walls make me a little anxious, actually.

Isn’t it funny how we comment on previous owners’ walls? lol. I wonder if the wall colors I chose will one day be someone else’s bleh.
That being said, when we moved in all the walls were flesh colored. 
Once I saw it I couldn’t unsee it.
I have pops of color here and there, but most of my house is currently millennial grey. 
I’m starting to finally hate it.

My childhood bedroom was a similar pink with darker pink & purple stenciled designs that I picked out. My sister couldn’t wait to repaint when we eventually traded rooms!

We went with a neutral beige color (called linen) with white trim for most of the house and I wish we would have just painted the entire house in that scheme. We kept some of the previous owner’s colors and while the ones we kept are “fine”, I’d much prefer a neutral everywhere that I don’t have to worry about things clashing with.

It’s so satisfying painting over the previous owner’s paint choices. After18 years the bedroom was the last room to be painted. Wait, the upstairs bathroom is wallpapered and I like both the paper and the trim color. Gone are the yellows, tuquoises, pink and blue bathroom, pink and blue flowered wallpaper. It is all mine now.
I understand why so many people just paint everything a neutral color when moving in. You can always repaint, but you don’t have to look at someone elses choices.

I haven’t watched that much of House Hunters on HGTV and even that little bit was probably about 15 years ago, but I was always rolling my eyes when the “buyers” were commenting/complaining about paint colors! I know they were coached to do that and that the whole thing was faked, but still… it’s just paint! Coach them for something else. Now an exterior color is expensive to fix, wallpaper is a pain to removed, countertops are expensive, etc.

I, too, roll my eyes at some buyers on that type of show. I’m sure they’d roll their eyes equally hard at me for my weird hangups. I still enjoy watching people buy houses. There’s a great realty website I love to browse, too… it’s all cottages and log cabins. Because sometimes I dream about escaping to some remote mountain and shunning civilization.
And, my floors are done! They’re almost dry, too. Windows on Monday.

I know someone irl who rejected their "dream home " as they called it… because the kitchen cabinets were the wrong colour 
Buying this house was easy for us. We had almost no budget and we had to hurry up because we were going to lose our rental. There were only a few homes listed within our price range, this one was in a neighbourhood we liked, it was the first house we viewed, we bought it and cancelled the other viewing. The seller wanted to move quickly because they’d spent some time talking to another buyer, who ultimately rejected this house because it had no upstairs toilet. Like almost everything, that’s fixable (we have one now) but that at least makes sense, if that’s an important thing for someone, it’s major work across two floors to add one.
