Whats the color of your room and do you similar to it?
Taupe ..I own dark brown leather furniture...black and white large pictures and can alter my theme often and do next to throw pillows and candles..and books..it is a good idea not to shift with colors for furniture that are set...like green or red etc..black is dutiful or dark taupe you can accessorize greatly and change depending on the season or holiday..much cheaper too.. They are adjectives white. . .not by choice. . .I rent and I am not allowed to paint, If I did I would most likely paint earthtone colours and a few bold colours.
The walls are almond beside swiss coffee white (creamy white) trim on closet doors, baseboards and around windows. Bedding is a mixture of earthtones in subtle tans, rusts and golds. The colors blend highly well and are not very bright or too muddy. They are cozy looking. The wall decor is a mixture of floral prints which matches the bedding and they have night brown frames. I also have on dressers/end tables a mixture of lamp and accesories such as candle holders in brown wrought iron. It has a terrifically italian flavor to it. I am very pleased how cozy the colors turned out. Three of my bedroom walls are painted "Mystic Harbor" by Behr and one wall is a darker shade of that same color. I used creams, armada, browns and beiges for my bedding and draperies. Overall, it's a soothing room that I love to hang out in.
Answers: I painted my bedroom "ponder" (a mauve) with a "roasted pepper" (dark red) feature wall. Both colors are by Behr:

And yes, I'm completely happy with the mode it turned out. I think I might add a stencil on the red wall, too.
Light green and yeah I close to it. If I had to repaint i'd probably go for a lantern yellow though.
