Mine is yellow and I love it. It's a happy place and for some reason, leaving a mess in a yellow room is not as bad as leaving a mess in a different color room.
It used to be very pink - looked like a flamingo blew up in it and the only thing that color motivated me to do was fly on out of there. lol
Agree with others who say not to go too intense because you don't want to get distracted.

I'd say a soft yellow. Get sample paints to see if the color is too bright. You don't want to get headaches, just liven upthe room. Paint can have blk pigments so testing out the color by painting patches of it helps. Depends on your windows, shadows, lightiing, etc to determine color.
Have fun and hopewe het to see your pics of the new rm.

I would stick with something neutral like cream, a pale creamy yellow or pale green.

My room is small too, 9' x 11'. Right now it is a pale pinkish beige. I am not a yellow person at all, but I've seen lots of pictures in quilt magazines of quilting studios and the wall color that appeals to me most is a pale butter yellow. Go figure! I think it was "Me and My Sister" design studio that I first noticed. I am not planning on repainting any time soon, but when I do it will be yellow.
