For a splash of contemporary color, you could select a peach, lime, or turquoise hue. Moss or slate hues could accent a more subdued palette.

Brown is such a warm, earthy color. I agree; sometimes a bright spring green makes a natural color combination, and will bring the outdoors inside.

Oranges, rusts and golds are also pretty and add warm tones
