Some consider it too stimulating for a bedroom but after dark, a person will only see it by lamplight, the color would appear muted, elegant and rich. But for an entry way it would create strong first impression. And it is particularly a good choice when you want to stir up excitement. Red draws people together and stumulates conversation making it a good choice for a living or dinning area.

Dark purple should mainly be used as an secondary color. It is dramatic, sophisticated and rich giving depth to a room and accent the other colors. Lilac and lighter versions of purple could be used as a main color for it has the same values as blue just without the risk of being chilly.

Orange
In ancient cultures orange was used to increase energy levels and heal the lungs. That alone is a good indicator its not the best color to be used in a bedroom or as a main colour. It might be beter used only to excentuate other colors.

Neutrals (black, gray, white, and brown)
They are the most flexible colours you can add colours to them and subtract changing the whole atmosphere in a room. Black though should always be used in minimal to create depth rather than be the center of attention. But every room needs a little black somewhere to accent the other colors. These colours are always handy and we cannot do without.
