After a lot of research on my part and then some refining down by the design team, we came upon these. (photo of color strips above, digital version of the colors below) I wanted to show the whole range of tints and shades of the colors (the photo is a bit dark and dingy) because I think they are not only fresh and clean (by tint) but rich and bohemian (by shade). We also included black and a rich brown into the palette so we could work with the furniture colors and fixtures. 
I have then taken the base palette and have worked up a few room options. Most of the color will be in the accent fabrics - curtains, throw pillows, any upholstery - and accessories. Just playing around still and getting a feel for our colors but the more I work with them and all their accompanying shades and tints, the more I love 'em. We want each room to be welcoming and fresh (with a little kick) and I think we are certainly getting there.-- Chris

I don't know how you do it. I wouldn't have any idea where to start with color, and I don't think I would have ever come up with those combinations.
Can't wait to see how it all turns out.
I love the color combinations! I am especially in love with shades of grey accented by any bright color.
Just an idea: This may or may not work for your inn- but this is how I do affordable interior design.
One thing I do when I am decorating our house (usually on a dime)- I have more luck finding well priced and awesome fabrics when I don't go into it set on any particular color scheme. Then with an open mind I can view fabrics without judgement. Once I find a fabulous and well priced fabric(in the quantity I need) I then base the rest of the room color scheme around that focal fabric. Most recently done it on HERE using a large quantity of raw silk I purchased for only $1.50 a yard.
