Colors to hide undertones

11 years ago

I am in the middle of painting my open concept living room/kitchen SW Sanderling (it was originally Behr Peanut butter but faded to basically yellow). I do love the new color, however I've noticed at night it is looking just slightly green but during the day is a darker neutral warm greige. I did notice in the section that we changed out our bulbs to LED it was better so I am going to change out the rest however I'm looking for accent colors for decorating to almost hide any green or avoid pulling green out.

My couch is brown leather and cabinets are an orange-red oak which I love and bronze hardware throughout the house. I also tend to decorate with golds and dark browns. I love all things rustic and do a lot of rustic wood pieces. My husband wanted me to add a few new items in a darker orange that he loves, but I want to be sure that this will compliment the Sanderling versus making it look more green. Will the orange be okay? Or even if I add rusty orange and some yellow?

Any ideas are very much appreciated! I really struggle with picking colors. Our old "accent" color was deep burnt red so I'd like to stay away from that.
