Should I go pale pink and green in my living room?

Ok here is the situation. I have had a shabby chic style house with all white furniture for about 5 years now. When we first did it - we used the pale pink and pale green accents with the white furniture including floral pink pillows etc., well about 2 years ago I switched to periwinkle blue accents with the same furniture. A few of my friends said they liked the blue better. My husband and I both like either the pink or the blue since he's a fan of the shabby chic style as well. Lately, I've wanted to go back to the pale pink and green just because I feel the might be more of a cheery "cottagey" colors. This would involve painting all the flowers I have painted on my furniture pink again and some of my nick-knacks. However, I still love periwinkle blue. I don't want to attempt to mix both periwinkle blue and pink - it would be too much work. What is everyone's opinion? I know it's up to what I like but sometimes some other people's feedback helps.

Try blue and pink
Reply:go with the blue (pale blue or baby blue).
Reply:I would leave it alone. You don't want to attempt to mix periwinkle blue and pink due to the work, and remember: you love that periwinkle. You don't want to lose it so leave it be. Have a beautiful day, btw. :)

Reply:Change is good! Spring is here and it's time for new things! I say go with the blue and green and leave the pink out for a while. You could always throw in a few pink accents if you really want pink.
Reply:just a thought, what about trying something different? you did the pink and green thing already... What about orange and blue? they complement eachother nicely. ..
