Help!! We are removing our old staircase which is surrounded by wood everywhere- wood wall paneling wood floor and wood railing. We bought a new updated one that I sits of new posts that we have to paint a certain colour. We are also adding carpet to the stairs to take away from all the wood.
My question.... Would I do a darker paint on the posts with the iron or would I go with a lighter paint? I'm not a fan of the lighter color I prefer the darker but the darker almost matches the carpet in color perfectly. Is that ok. Keep in mind this staircase railing is by a wood panelled wall.

Can someone help me pic a color please :) the two colors are shown below.
