Answers:
Hi there, if you add some blue elements to the room such as window treatments or through pillows, the yellow will tend to look more green.
On the other hand if you add some reds to the room, the wall color will pool more to the orange side of things.
Hope this helps

i would try using some beige taupe or light blue things to decorate the walls with
do you have drapes or curtains? If you can put up a natural colored wooden shade like a vertical blind. it would darken then decrease the wattage in the light source. If it is an overhead light get a lamp and don't use it the over head. Also for a small amount of money you could get a comlemetary color and sponge texture just one wall.
Buy some black out drapes. You can get them at Linens and Things or Bed Bath and Beyond. They are drapes that don't let any light in. Great for sleeping in also. You could add a bamboo shade behind it for when the drapes aren't drawn. Thats a great look.
Add a cool color - white, sage green, or dusty blue , or combo of several, for bedding, drapes, rug, or accessories.
Try to avoid using any more yellow in the room. Yellow on the walls is enough. To make the room cooler, mix in cool colored items in it, aqua and sage green items work well with it.
