I have a courtyard villa and left it white throughout for 3 years until I decided what I wanted to do. I found it cold and impersonal and definitely not me. I finally painted all the rooms And hallways , except the bedrooms a pale blue lighter than the sky. It suddenly became mine and everyone who walks in comments how beautiful the color is. However, I left the bedrooms/ bathrooms the neutral white, so I can change the bedspreads , curtains , etc to whatever color I want. Holiday/ seasonal spreads and shower curtains look great as a result! You should decorate in your own taste but if you have it in mind to eventually move, I would definitely keep it neutral( grey or beige) and not any bright color. If you do this though you may never feel it’s your own.
