my living room has two colors: light beige and red brick. I want to paint one wall with a different color that matches the two mentioned ones. Any suggestions?

Wow, sounds like a great combo already! You don't say whether the light beige is the trim colour or already on a wall or 2.
Let's say for argument sake, the beige is on 4 walls and the red brick is actually; RED BRICK (like a fireplace or...?).
I would paint all the trim white. It will compliment the beige and contrast the "red". I would pick a middle tone between the two by finding a paint chip that has the "flavour" of the beige but is darker and more saturated. If you try to "lighten" the saturation of the red; it might start to go to a pink shade and might not look too good with the beige. A warm (REDish) beige should tie the three together for you... I would keep the new darker beige opposite the red wall unless you really want to direct focus toward the brick, at which point I would paint the wall around the brick (fireplace) with the darker beige and leave the other 3 the lighter existing beige... In my humble opinion anyhow. Good luck!

Apparently the mantra 'separation of church and state' only applies to Christianity. America is so full of hypocrisy concerning religion it makes me glad I don't live there, anymore. Children may study about many different religions in school, but when someone whispers 'Christianity' everyone becomes unglued. But as far as protesting the Chinese decorations is concerned you are wasting your time. You will just be labeled an intolerant, fundamentalist religious nut. You may also be labeled a racist, seeing that the decorations are Chinese. Pray about this. If the Holy Spirit tells you differently, then ignore my advice. God bless.

Try shades of cream, cappacinno, desert sand and chocolate. Natural colours are safe to work with but can still make their mark. This look can be dramatic or give the room a really earthy feel so have fun. Happy Decorating!!

Stay with the two colours on your walls. Use accents to add more colours to your room. Watch some Home & Garden design shows on TV. They have great ideas.

I would recommend a contrasting color, such as a darker blue if the room is big enough to support a dark wall.
