Dark-ish red.
Trim is white. I wanted ivory, but DH did the construction and painting, so he won.
I sort of wanted cream, dark red, sage and light blue (all were in a bedspread we had that I loved.) We still have the curtains from the set, not positive we will put them up though. The bed is now a bigger size.
SO we have this sage quilt that I don't like, goes weird with the walls. Wanted to pick light blue, but then the room will be red, white and blue.

I think if you are going with deep, red walls and white trim, that I would keep the bedding neutral and light. How about cream/white bedding or a light gray color?
Something like this, only more deep red and less orange.
This pinched pleat bedding from Target is cute and you could do a fun sheet set:
Some fun sheets:
from Overstock
I also think fun pillows with some white and red on them would add to the room...(these are all from Target)
I would also incorporate warm wood elements (with wood side tables and bedframe maybe).

I like it. We have 3 kids, so not sure about white bedding. Possibly. The pinched one is gorgeous!
The things we have chosen in the room (desk, lateral file and one side table) are cherry, as is our lighting. We also have hand me down mismatched dressers for now but it doesn't concern me.
I like the patterned red and white sheets!
So maybe I don't need to be looking for an accent "color" and just stick with a neutral.

Ooh, I just found some art work for over the bed, and there are pillows that look like one you have there. Also, this really helps me see how gray could be a good accent for me. Thank you!

I waited on the wall art because money is tight. Today I was showing it to DH and he really liked it. And it was on salr 10% off and free shippingk, so I went for it!
Also I added dark grey bedspread to my xmas list - with links to some.
My office is deep red with cream trim. I have Waverly toile roman shades trimmed with coordinating check and a ticking stripe wall leading to my LR. Floors and desk are a reddish beech with black accents.
