What is a good accent wall color for a pale yellow living room/hallway in a house?

I am currently in the process of priming my house. I have decided to go with a pale yellow color for the living room/hallway areas. The kitchen is next to the living room but has some walls to separate the two rooms making it not a completely open floor plan. I have decided to use a sage green color in the kitchen. There is one wall in the living room where the fireplace sits with wall space on both sides of the fireplace. I am thinking of making this an accent wall. The floors are all hardwood and the cabinets in kitchen are medium oak colored. I want the kitchen and living room colors to fit together and I think that the yellow and green work well with each other. The house does not let in that much sunlight b/c there are big trees in the front and back so there is shade. What color do you think I should use for my accent wall? I was thinking maybe a medium/dark red, plum, orange, or taupe.

navy... plum.... maroon....browns... soothing or traditional colors... more pop... then red/burnt oranges..



if u'r making the wall next to the fireplace.. make sure these colors will also go W/ the fireplace %26amp; don't clash. U can always paint u'r fireplace if u don't like OR spice it up w a glaze over the brick.
Reply:I like burgundy, but I'm not sure how that would look with the sage green. I like yellow - gold walls with hardwood floors, and Oriental rugs (in the tan and burgundy shades) with dark tan furniture, and Burgundy accents with stuff like old world globe accents, and an antique chess set on my coffee table. Bookcases with lots of books. I'm into the earth tones.
Reply:as you probly already know, it's a superb idea to paint on large practice boards first. "secluded beach" is a nice orange that won't compete with the yellow. it will also go good with the green. the maker is benjamin moore. "gobi desert" is a nice taupe with a hint of plum. "homespun charm" is a very earthy plum and not garish. as for red, my personal thing is to opt for large red artwork or red things instead of red paint but that's just me
