I really want to paint my home's walls vibrant and joyful colors. They make me feel cozy and happy. But ever since my in-laws said it would hurt resale + turn away prospective buyers later on, and that darker/rich colors don't look good, I haven't made the leap. My anxiety tells me everyone will judge and think it's ugly. I know I shouldn't care what they think and I can always change it later but. Anxiety.

Make the leap. Do it for you, not someone random stranger (with the exception of me, who's cheering you on and will demand updates, etc.)

When resale time comes, the agent will make you paint the whole space light gray anyway. :)
