Need a dramatic color combo with salmon

14 years ago

I've just painted a large area over my fireplace - a salmon glaze process with gold veining. My walls are a light beigey hold ragging my carpet is black and gold tiger. What is a dramatic complementary color to accent the salmon? Btw for some reason I can't attach pics.

Turquoise pairs well with coral or salmon. It might be a dramatic choice with your exotic look.

Your pictures need to be jpeg format to upload.

What about a dark charcoal grey? Or a deep rich brown?

Dark chocolate brown will go better with the salmon, beige, black and gold. And Houzz is having issues with picture attachments right now, could you try again later, or tomorrow?

Without seeing your pics yet I like the suggestions for royal blue or chocolate.

No light grey, it is so 80's...I would go charcoal or chocolate too.
