Need help with choosing colors?

Need help with choosing colors?
Bedroom: So I have dark brown bed room furniture and blue sheets and bedding and blue accents and white walls. What other color goes well with these colors?

Living room: white walls, beige couch and love seat, black end table, tv stand, coffee table. What colors would work well with these?

Kitchen: Theme: apples. Red everything! White walls, light oak cabinits, white refrigerator and dish washer, red everything else.

For the bedroom you could add some navy blue or sandy beige. but with the brown, blue and white you sound like you're all set. Maybe you just need to add some interesting patterns in those colors in pillows, rugs, or draperies. I think I'd paint the walls a soft coffee (with cream!) color or a light blue.

For the living room, I think the walls need to be painted in this room too. WIth the biege and black you have two ways to go: contemporary with a teal blue or aqua on the walls or earthier with a mocha shade or even cinnamon if you aren't afraid of dark colors. Finding an accent pillowor piece of art you love can be the inspiration for your entire color scheme. Maybe something here will inspire you:

In a kitchen, I love yellow with red the most. It's so cheerful!
You could also use black and white for a very contemporary look, but with the apple theme I think I'd use a soft buttery yellow instead.

bedroom : im going with coffee color or mocha color, just so you could stay in the middle of dark and light colors,

living room: since your room is bare when it comes with colors, this time, mix in some vibrant ones, but try to go with dark shades though since you have a black end table and very light walls and couch/love seat

kitchen: mix match red and green and beige since that your theme is apples

bedroom: beige or peach
living room: burgundy or red, dark green
kitchen: green with touches of silver

Bedroom- Lime green goes well with blue
Living room-Sage green and burgundy
Kitchen-Navy blue
