Choose paint colours for a room with confidence

Help me choose paint colours for a room.

Room and aspect: [north/south, big/small]
What stays: [sofa, floor, curtains]
Mood I want: [calm, bright, cosy]
Colours I already like or hate: [list]
Finish needed: [walls, woodwork]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A shortlist approach (main, trim, accent).
2. How to test samples properly.
3. Common traps for rooms like mine.
4. A decision rule after samples dry.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, diagnoses or legal outcomes. UK English.
