A single saturated wall is the cheapest way to give a room a centre of gravity. It is also the easiest thing to get wrong.
Choose the wall you already look at

Keep the other three quiet
An accent only works against restraint. Keep the remaining walls in a neutral from the same family, and let the trim stay white so the transition is deliberate.
