Can anyone tell me of a colorful indoor plant to grow something with beautiful leaves or flowers that would bring color in my rooms?

Geraniums come to mind. Geraniums ( really pelargoniums) come with colorful flowers and lovely leaf forms. And some have nicely scented leaves to add to the mix. They are also very, very easy.

Yes, I agree with Bill that a Croton is a lovely, colorful plant. But might I also suggest a Polka Dot Plant or a Tri-Colored Prayer Plant? I've also had success with Gloxinia. Sometimes these smaller plants can be awfully sweet in a room....

Yes, violets! They are very easy and the colors are seemingly endless. What a great idea!
