Color Scheme

I need to find a color palette that will work with the paint colors already in my dining room (a rusty red called "Paprika") and the scrapbook room (an olive-y, khaki, sort of dark sage green). I want to paint the rest of the down stairs, want it to be fun and me, but don't want to repaint these two rooms. I really like the colors, they just aren't "me", aren't something I probably would have chosen. I'm a bright and cheerful color person and these are very formal looking colors. I've been searching for inspiration and came across this WP20717 Fuji Stripe. The closest I could find that shows the red and the green with other colors. Thing is, I would really like to pull a robin's egg blue into the mix. If anyone has come across some awesome swatches of color on a website that shows different combinations, please send me the link.

Val has me looking all over Maine Cottage. I have to order a catalog. Since we just bought this furniture, I don't see Keith letting me paint it, but all of their stuff is very pretty and "happy".
