Often one or 2 walls will be a different color, which is sometimes referred
to as an "accent wall". It's quite modern, but if you choose odd colors the
effect might be strange. In your case, I'm wondering if the effect will be
strange, since the 2 colors are so close. It might even seem like it is
just a lighting or shadow effect, and depending on the amount of contrast
might not be very noticeable. Or it might be noticeable enough for someone
to think "weird". Then again, maybe not. In this case I don't think it
will be possible to tell unless you actually finish it.
Another option is to pick a color with more contrast, then try just one wall
at first. You might like it enough to leave it at that.
