Paint colors for a basement

We have a walk out basement which is 900 sf  it has 2 floor to ceiling windows and french doors.  I am struggling with color choice, I have tried 3 neutral colors (cream and soft yellow as well as a Green I kinda like) I'm just not very good at this.  The rest of our home is gallery beige, olive green with chocolate brown and brugandy accents.  We will have a bar and pool table, as well as a seperate room for movie Any suggestions on color choice for both the large room as well as the TV room?

 Be honest and be true to yourself.

I would recommend light neutral colors so that it won't be too dark. I would recommend a cream color.

Cream color is a good idea but also consider light blue, shnshine yellow or peach. No reason that it has to be neutral as long as you keep it light and bright.
