Wife and I dislike the colour of our new living room - what can we do to resolve it? Repaint?

Living Room

Hi all!

My friend and I painted our living room yesterday in a yellow that my wife and I thought would be great, but unfortunately the colour in the grand scheme of things just doesn't quite work with the overall lighting and in general. It's a light yellow and I think my wife and I wanted it to be a more warm, orangey hue. The taster patch we made looked fine, but different parts of the room are more light than others because of lighting and window position etc

Short of having to repaint the whole thing, what methods could we use to make the paint less bright? Are there any bulbs that you guys would recommend for this? Like a low kelvin, warm bulb?
