I would let them pick a colour (blue, green, pick, red, etc.), but I would narrow down to three shades of that colour. Then they could pick the specific one they wanted.

yes! when the last teenaged sdd goes away to college and the 2 younger dd's 8&9 get her room they will get there wishes: 2 walls blue and 2 walls purple
