What paint colors work best using dark chocolate brown furniture and sage green accents?

I love these two colors together and really want to incorporate them in my formal living room, but i'm just not sure what paint color would be best? Also i plan on painting vertical stripes and would need the two best paint colors to go along with my chocolate brown and sage green decor, is this a wise idea?What paint colors work best using dark chocolate brown furniture and sage green accents?
A light toffee or caramel color would be pretty. And would still keep the formal feel and look of the living room. While adding abit of ';lightness'; to it, if that makes any sense, lol.





If you want something more neutral go with a tan or beige.What paint colors work best using dark chocolate brown furniture and sage green accents?
Find a dusky blue for this- it will complement the brown (by contrast) and harmonize with the green. The room sounds beautiful, by the way, I have my dorm set up with those colors. :) I agree that wall stripes might not be the best (given that you have both a furniture color and an accent color, I think a single wall color would be best--colors should be in odd numbers in a room), but it you have your heart set on them, I would go with another shade of brown- a lighter one though, or your room may seemed too cramped/dark given the furniture. Some shades of purple might be another option, but that would be really tricky to get right...Good luck!
you should choose white walls. for various reasons:





- white makes the room seem bigger and airier





- its best not to add any more colours to the theme you already have. if there are too many colours, it will not appear to have a colour theme





- if you want to change your room at any point, you can keep the walls white, as white goes with everything!





-having white walls will draw more attention to the accessories and furniture in the room. you dont want to walk into a room and think... WALLS!! so that answers your question about the stripes... probably not a good idea.





the only time you shouldn't have white is if you smoke in the room...the white will soon turn to yellow... nice : { lol





hope this helps!



It really depends on the natural light in your room, size, arrangement... so many factors! However, I like a warm beige or a rich mocha color with these. Together they make me think of warm comfort, relaxation, and natural spaces.





Have fun!
medium/light blue. or a beige, it'll lighten up the dark furniture. oh and no stripes. it would look a bit much, one color is good :)
depends on the mood or feel you are going for. brown and greens are considered neutral colors therefore just about anything will go with them.
