Noooo brown and orange, wtf, want your room to look like halloween candy? xD
Earthy tones are very 1980's, they aren't in and I don't like them.
If your place has textured walls, colors are a bad idea, stick with white. Keep in mind that dark colors make rooms feel cramped, white gives a room the most open feeling, but if your room is decently sized or if you don't mind it colors are alright. And when you go to paint, make sure you lay down at least one undercoat, preferably 2, with a proper base. A bad paint job will ruin things, even if you make good choices with color.
If you want an accent wall, paint 3 walls of one color and one in the accent color, something a bit more vibrant but not absurdly so, and leave the ceiling white imo.
What kind of furniture do you have? Classic? Modern? And what color / wood type?
Also what color are your bedsheets / curtains / blinds etc?
And white carpet i'm assuming? Or hardwood. If carpet, is it plush, rough, shag..?

PM me, my mom has designed a bunch of interiors for the houses we have had, and my dad has done a lot of carpentry, so I grew up around a lot of this sort of thing.
Also I know a lot about soundsystems, my current configuration has 48 speakers (drivers actually, fewer actual units) and a woofer, all routed through my tv / computer / dvd cd etc in one big wtfuxawesome soundgasm system in my room
