Kitchen - fully tiled cream
Dinning room - magnolia
Living room -magnolia
Hall, stairs & landing -magnolia
Bedroom - sunset yellow, white and very pale apple gree
Bathroom - magnolia
Downstairs loo - magnolia

My first flat was more colourful -

Kitchen - sunny yellow
Dinning room - n/a
Living room - magnolia (top) and burgundy (bottom)
Hall, stairs & landing - milk chocolate (bottom) and peach melba (top) - this was my fav, looked so warm and welcoming.
Bedroom - one blue, one medium apple green (bottom), magnolia (top)
Bathroom - blue

I thinkif you went for a different colour it would have to be a very subtle change.

My kitchen / dining room is an in-your-face shade of orange called 'Frenzy'. I would recommend it actually, it certainly slaps you awake in the morning
Living room is red.
Hall, stairs and landing are a sunny yellow.
Bedroom is a lovely soft creamy white from company I can't remember, 4 numbers in the name like 1804 or something?
Ds' room is always people's favourite, it's a very intense blue called 'Smalt'
Bathroom was not my choice but a nice clear pale turquoise, downstairs loo ditto
