nope. needs to be cool colors to pick up the accent wall. and I hate yellow with the passion of a thousand suns. -- (link) - znufrii Jul 2, 13:45 12
- ok if that is the accent wall you need a stronger blue on the floor big time. unless you want to put out bowls of prozac. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 13:47
- you didn't mention the accent wall. what color? -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 13:46 10
  - the one I linked in my post above. - znufrii Jul 2, 13:48 8
    - out of the blue rugs on the site, I guess I like your link best, but I would probably shop elsewhere. nothing looks good out of that bunch. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 13:49 7
      - yeah, haven't been too thrilled with what we're seeing anywhere so far. -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 13:49 6
        
        also need to find a good painting to hang above the couch. -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 13:50 1
        
        mine are quite reasonably priced. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 13:54
        
        don't try to match your teal, that's super hard. I might even go for a spearmint green. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 13:50 3
        
        yeah, we're not trying for matchy-matchy, that's for sure. -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 13:51 2
        
        you need a strong color (not gray-washed) and possibly a pattern if your furniture is plain. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 13:54 1
        
        yeah, we definitely want a pattern -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 13:57
  - the color he linked. yah, znu. unless you're going for dark, gray/black is too much. -- nm - b. Jul 2, 13:48
its mustard. -- nm - Pippy Jul 2, 13:43 3
- yes it is. yellow and gray is super chic. Gray and gray and gray is for weenies. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 13:44 2
  - more gray is likely too much, but that much yellow isn't something a lot of people would be ok living with for a long time. -- nm - b. Jul 2, 13:46 1
    - I'm trying to jump start him. :) -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 13:47
