We want our boring, white living room to have some color.
It does feature cathedral ceilings and a corner black marble fireplace.
Unfortunately...we have GREEN carpet.
I would like to have a good accent color behind that corner fireplace wall, and the rest of the room another color. WWYD based on this color chart?
I am open to wild or different colors.
TIA!
Re: Another "which wall paint" question... PIP
No, I haven't yet. It looks like suede? Nice! I will have to check that out.
Neat! Rust color actually might work for my living room...just on the accent wall. Hmmm...now my gears are turning. ; )
Oh man that floor really limits If the fireplace were not black and the couch were not a dark brown I would be all crazy and add in different ocean colored pastels.
Another option might be a forest green accent wall and than maybe khaki regular walls.
Of course I suck at this type of thing so don't ask me for advice
Tell me about it! If we could afford it, the green carpet would be gone.
I do like the idea of a forest green and khaki. I will have to choose a green that does not make the black fireplace look bad, though. Maybe with LaLa's suggestion of using a Ralph Lauren color base, this may be doable.
Look-- obviously I suck at it too...that is why I'm asking! lol
Thanks! : )

Pretty close in the light. Here...I took a pic.
NOTE: It's dark in the office, so this is with the overhead lamp on it.
Yes, we have the sliding glass doors to the deck, and the light from the bay windows in the kitchen. We only use lamps at night.
I agree that a few shades lighter than the drapes may look pretty good. Decisions, decisions...painting makes me nervous!
