I really want to paint a light gray accent wall because our whole living rooom is Navajo white and it’s so plain. I tried light French gray and it looks too blue next to the creamy yellow Navajo white. So could you recommend a light medium gray with good undertones next to this shade of cream. Both walls are light French gray. There’s a small swatch of aloof gray on the left, custom repose Gray in middle

Personally what you painted are not accent walls. An accent wall is a full wall in the room with any interruptions (such as windows or FP). Paint every wall the Navajo White and get some great art for the walls

If u want an accent area, that would mean something more intense. If you are looking for a color for brown/cream color; look at the color wheel. Brown is made of red and green. DONT use primary colors. A red with brown accents or green with olive, moss or sage might work
