Accent color

10 years ago

Just painted our new home 'Online' it is a warm gray. The trim is decorator white and the ceilings are ceiling white. Our furniture is ikea beige and our throw pillows are khaki, blue and cream. I'd like to introduce me more accent color, and am thing a warm yellow...any suggestions? The pictures with furniture are our old house...accent color has to coordinate with 'Bessie'.

I think a warm yellow would look nice.

Here are some colors from Bessie on a background of Online.
I think any of them would work better than yellow. I'd use the lighter green as it looks like the bowl you have on the table. I'm not sure you should even be adding a color.

I would probably use either the blue bird pillows or Bessie, not necessarily both. Then the yellow adds a punch of color.

Emmarane thanks! The green is an accent that I use often. I tend to like to switch this up seasonly, so this helps
