GOING NUTS....
Wall color can drive you nuts.
The perfect tan can turn pink or orange. That lovely pastel green suddenly looks minty. The beige you picked is fleshy. The yellow you loved takes on a sickly green tinge.

I use poster board or foam core board, 2 coats with a good 2-3 inch border of white around the outside (so the color on your wall now won't influence the color you want it to be).
