House Painting
I think the best contrast colors for dark brown walls are white, yellow and apple green. See for example:

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:

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.
