Sherwin Williams has an historic collection of colors. Go to the store and ask to see their victorian colors. Or go to this website, click on "find color," click on the "historic collection" tab on the left, and then choose "victorian" from the drop down box under "sort this collection."

Some examples of the colors are "cabbage rose," "majolica green," "festoon aqua" and "deepest mauve." It was a very colorful period.
Another suggestions is if you have any museum homes from that era in your town, go pay a visit to get some decorating ideas. Such as:

They frequently used wallpaper in that era, too.
