Accent Color Help

[Ramz-ee]

I am looking for an accent color for my kitchen/dining room. It's painted Smokey Slate by Behr. Right now I have white and gray accents, but I want some color.

This is the color:



One room connecting to it is navy with orange accents. The other room is a gray-purple. I'm probably going to add a teal accent to the purple room. I am considering either of those main room colors as accent colors. Any suggestions?

That seems like a lot of color. So if your standing in one place, you'll be able to see purple, teal, orange, navy, white and green?

That paint color would look amazing with chili pepper red

You could go with a burgundy, plum would be my personal pick, light sage green for a brighter color.

I've thought about this. It won't look too Christmasy?

Not exactly, the rooms are not open concept. They actually go in a C shape. You mainly can see wall colors, not pillows or other accent colors. Besides, I'm not afraid of color at all. I consider each room in the house a separate canvas. I would be miserable if I had an entire floor painted the same color or almost the same color. It's just not how I choose to design.

Of the colors listed, orange leaps out as the best; however my first choice too would be a chili pepper red. The base color reads as grey on my monitor.

Its not gray. Its a green with gray undertones. But I do like the red option.

It looks gray for me also, which is why I would say orange and teal for accents, since that's what I did. If it's more greenish, then I like the idea of the burgundy.

I think that Navy could work well with it too and that would tie it to the connecting room. I love blue and green together though..

Ah, see I'm seeing a slate gray/blue gray type color here.
With green-gray I would go with a teal or a brighter sage color accent.

I agree with adding navy.. I think it would tie the colors together as well.

Also, if you dont want to do that, try a mix between red & coral... A color like that would be awesome!
