Is there a way to soften the color of a wall?

Adding a glaze would be a good option as using lighting for the purpose of softening the color of the wall is not an environmentally good thing and it will come heavily on your pocket too. If that doesn’t work than it is better to repaint the wall.

You can soften the color of a wall by adding a glaze. A gray or brown glaze is a transparent finish that can be applied to the bright paint to soften the color.

Good lighting can be one of your best friends here. Use low lighting near the walls and direct bright lights away from the walls, maybe up toward the ceiling. You might also try track lights with amber or rose colored light bulbs directed at the wall to soften it.
