i was asking this question about a year ago! it kind of feels like 10... anyway, i know my colors aren't for everyone, but here're some photos of the paint i put up in our house:
YAY! I am so psyched for you! And I want to come visit, LOL!
I am terrible with decorating, but Restoration Hardware might be a good place to start for color inspiration since they have a limited palette that is not so overwhelming. You can always take a swatch to HD or Lowe's to color match.
Oh, yeah, and many of the big paint companies have "collections", like Laura mentioned. If you go to an HD, Lowe's or paint store, you can browse the "brochures" that show the colors in the collection together.
That's awesome that everything is freshly painted. Makes it so much easier to just add color where you want it and not have to paint the whole house which is sooooo expensive, especially if you have a lot of trim. I've always wanted to do an accent wall in a bold or dark color but am still too chicken...

BM has a collection of colors called Affinity that are all designed to match well together. You might check that out...
