My sofa is a dark Mocha and my rug and pillows cream. Any suggestions for the color that the walls should be.

Question

I would like to introduce some color into the room but nothing too dramatic

Answer 1

A smoky blue-gray would be really pretty. Go to this site and click on "FIND COLOR." This is a really cool interactive site where you can see how different colors look on the wall. Try entering "Adrift" and "Moody Blue" in the search box. I think either one of those colors would look great with your mocha and cream.

Answer 2

Brown is a neutral like black and many colors can accent it. Depends on your look. I've seen rusty reds used with accents of muted yellows and pale greens. Whatever you do on the walls or even just one accent wall, you need to pull the room together with matching accents. That is always the key. Once you determine your wall color, your rugs, pillows, wall coverings and accessories have to speak to it as well. Lay all your colors out with your wall color first to see if it is going to work for you. Then paint.

Answer 3

seems there's a Ben & Jerry's ice cream it rather is espresso with chunks of chocolate and peanut butter. i may well be incorrect on that. If there is not any longer then i might decide to invent it and patent it too, lol! Sooo, my answer after that's espresso Ice cream!
