I really don't care for a whole house done in white, off white, etc.
Looks like a sterile, model home to me. But that seems to be the norm these days, at least in Florida. When we had our house built in 1990, the builder was AGHAST that I wanted COLORS in my rooms - and different colors in different rooms, at that! And I was appalled at the idea of painting the whole thing some boring cream/white/ whatever color.
I guess it partly depends on what you grew up with. But to me, a bedroom "should be" some shade of green or blue (blue happens to be my favorite color, anyway) to promote restfulness. And a kitchen "should be" some shade of yellow (whether neutral-ish or bright) to promote a sunny, cheerful feeling. I tend to like a more neutral color in the living room areas.
Of course, I think everyone should choose according to their own tastes. Those are just my own preferences. And if you like a more sterile look (or plan to sell soon), then by all means, go for the white "model home" look, lol!
Unless you plan to sell soon, or have some other reason to please somebody other than yourself and your own family, do what pleases your aesthetic sense, even if it is a little "quirky". Then it will reflect the residents and their personalities, instead of some "normal" look decided by somebody else.
BTW, my builder said that he actually liked our color scheme after it was finished, even though he had severe doubts while doing it!
