I have a very contemporary home. Tall ceilings and short white couches. I want to use "teal" as my accent color. I have some pillows to go on my couch that are a shade of white, brown and teal. I have a bathroom that sits near the living room and I just painted it teal (that way the accent could be seen in that small room). Heres my question. The room gets "normal" light in it. Not a lot but it never stays dark either. I want the walls brown. I have a brown rug that can go with it. My bedroom sits connected to the living room and it gets A LOT of light. I want to paint it dark brown as well. Will it look funny for two rooms that are adjecent to each other to have brown? Or should I do a shade darker or lighter for each room? HELP!!!! I really need help.

i agree with butterfly lover..... if you want o accent with teal and dark brown, go with a darker tan/beige. if your couches and trim are white, it will really pop. but if you insist on doing a dark brown wall, maybe you should do an accent wall in that color. like the wall behind your headboard.

just remember that paint is the cheapest way to redo a room so if you don't like it, try something new. buy a few different shades of the colors you are considering and do samples of them on the walls to really see how you like it then buy the gallon.
