Color, Color, Color

In the attempt to move farther away from the college years of unframed posters, I'm desperately grabbing for a room/apartment with a cohesive color palette to work with in order to establish a cohesive concept.

The first one that has appealed to me is this palette, "Eroded Brights" from design-seed.com

It's bright, fun and just a touch girly, which is fine since I have a female roommate.  I think combined with some silver and black it's more mature but not too reserved/mature, we are only in our early/mid-20s

My second choice would be this palette, "Pear Brights" also from design-seed.com

Still nice and bright but slightly more gender-neutral when it comes to the overall palette - pretty easy to tell that I gravitate towards blues, huh?

The goal would be to have this overall color palette in the family room and then carry aspects of it throughout the kitchen and bathroom so the spaces all flow together instead of being choppy.  I don't need my apartment to feel any smaller then it actually is!

What do you think?  Too bright for you? More neutrals?  Remember I'm working with a very neutral apartment base, so these will be more in fabrics and accents that I choose (hoping not to paint too many walls since that will be a pain to repaint whenever I move out...)
