I kind of like it too. When I was 12 my parents asked what colour I wanted my bedroom painted. "Purple." They painted it off-white. I'm over 70 now and still have never had a purple room. My kitchen is pale grey ffs.

Off to look at paint charts ....

Do it. Do it now.

Bro you’re 70, paint that shit whatever you want and when you die in that house it’s the next owners problem not yours. It’s not an investment at your stage like it is people in their 30s painting everything white or grey so they don’t offend future buyers.

The thing is though, I might want to sell before I die. I've got a good 20 years in me!

I helped a lady your age pick out a color for a room in her house, and she ended up going for a very bright peach. She loved it so much she put it in every room in her house where she didn't have a color picked out.

If you aren't planning to sell in a year or two, I say pick something that makes you happy when you see it. Realtors might have a different favorite color in 5 years.
