I was going to say that, actually. My friend who is quite into her interior decorating has painted every room cream + a strong bright colour (on one or two walls, or in the case of the hall, up to dado-rail level).
Flicking through daytime TV, it appears that filling the room with a deep colour will make it dingy. But with the colour on one wall and the rest near white, you get a light room with deep colour. You also get to actually see the colour as there is a reference.
A flat I looked at on the first floor in Highbury had a wall of orange. Orange, yuck. But it looked great.
