splatter paint black on it... or get black curtains and a black silky comforter? it would dim it down

Gray and blue sounds kind of neat.

Yea, off set it with colors like chartreuse, brown and orange. Look at the Ralph Lauren colors. There is a lighter version of the Ralph Lauren blue that would work. A little trick I learned here. If you ever find a Ralph Lauren color that you like simply show it to the sales person and they can mix that color in a cheaper brand. Youâ??ll have a Ralph Lauren color w/o paying the price. Anyway, I know this may sound strange, but pick up a few paint samples in colors you like and take them to the room and see for yourself what will work and what wonâ??t. Take a sample of your bedroom color with you. Once youâ??ve decided on a color scheme you can use these same chips to find bed linens, pillows or anything else you want to adorn your room with.
Good Luck!

Maybe this is a good look for girls. I can understand that you want something darker but try it out for a while and see how you like it. If you don't try a kool lamp shade thats on the darker side. Change your bedspread or somthing

pinkish orange? is that peach? well to offset peach all i can think of is a chocolate color...but i don't think you would like that
you could have navy blue bedsheets or curtains...that would look pretty good
yeaaah maroon is pretty good to work with..good idea..you answered your own question!
HOPE THAT HELPED!

find curtains and bed sheets that go with it but are darker. by pink/orange im guessing you mean fuschia. find green or you could always go for a "punk" look and do black and white with the pink. polka dot sheets would be adorable.

purple! blue! white!

go witha cool blue like a light sky blue . it will go but its not too vibrante and it will help with the walls

wow, i was just about to say maroo acutally lol..i'm not really sure of the exact shade...b ut i was thinking maybe a maroonish color, or maybe a navy blue since blue is a compliment of orange

You could take a shade of dark purple or a color that goes along with it and sponge it over the vibrant color so it shows through really pretty as a backgroud for a not-so-vibrant color.
Not to sound gothic, but you could paint some shelves in your room a black color which would darken the feel of it.
I would basically sponge over it with another color, but bedding or sheets works wonderfully too. Just make sure to make sure that the color you choose to use for the sponge paint/bedding/whatever doesn't clash in the jar OR on the walls before you buy/paint anything.

add purple in somehow, whether it is in curtains or bedding or both... that should make it seem a little less "bright".
hope i helped
