A Magenta Bedroom?
Answers:
I think Magenta is a fine color for a bedroom. If the whole room is too much for you, go get some beadboard (that slatted half-wall covering used in bathrooms, dining rooms, halls, etc. Paint the top half of the wall magenta and paint the bead-board white. Paint the ceiling a very light pink; use the same pink for the recessed areas of the bead-board. Put in some white trim along the ceiling/wall intersection. Now you have a nice monochromatic color scheme, a happy kid, and a room that's not quite so small looking. ^_~

A promise is a promise.
Or the wall that you least likely look at.
You could choose a lighter shade of magenta, or you could get a wainscotting and paint that magenta, and the wall above it a very light shade of magenta
you should have never promised her in the first place you said any color....right????
promise is a promise
Maybe paint 2 of the walls in her room magenta and the other two walls a contrasting color - maybe a light yellow to tone it down.
Ask her to try something new! Instead of painting the entire room paint one wall that color. Otherwise you may have to get use to that color.
It could look really great with the right lighting and things to go in it.
It's only paint, come on mom!
Magenta isn't the best choice for the entire room. I think pink or baby blue is better
I think you should allow her Magenta.
Shes not asking for drugs! or alcohol! or getting pregnant.
I myself personally prefer lighter colors; especially for the bedroom; since it will create a peaceful environment.
But hey let her do what she wants - since you promised (and this is not a big deal).
I would go ahead and do it! Why not? Magenta isn't THAT bad and there are different shades of it. She wants it bright and that is very OK for a child or teen. Just make sure you use a semi-gloss for a shiney surface with a color like that. Flat in that color would be not as attractive. You want it to reflect a little light. Also don't get a cheap paint. Use Benjamin Moore paint so you get the differing shadings as the light changes throughout the day. Yes I would definitely let her do it. It would be pretty with white trim. I have no problem with it and I was an interior designer for 20 years in.
You have to honor your promise no matter what even if she said black anyway! She may be testing you to see if you will keep a promise to her and if you don't, she will never trust or believe you again so do it. Like someone here said it is only paint.
Try what we did as kids - one wall the bright color, the other three a complementary lighter shade - like 3 pink walls and one magenta one, and a white ceiling.
