==House Painting==
I think the best contrast colors for dark brown walls are white, yellow and apple green. See for example:
 
http://blog.styleestate.com/storage/thumbnails/2908662-2950705-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1243374071765
 
http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/844425/Da_Lime_inda_Coconut
 
Menards doesn't have any bright greens (only boring ones), but Home Depot does have one that looks pretty nice (bamboo leaf). So here's the palette I suggest:
 
Inline image 3
 
Links for the paints at Home Depot:
 
Bamboo Leaf (green):
http://www.homedepot.com/s/Bamboo%2520Leaf%2520%2520paint?NCNI-5
 
Lemon Lime (yellow):
http://www.homedepot.com/s/lemon%2520lime%2520paint?NCNI-5
 
Chalkboard Paint:
http://www.homedepot.com/s/chalkboard%2520paint?NCNI-5
 
For the MH I think we should go with white for the walls as that will make the space appear bigger.
