green and gray
Ok, so I posted a few days ago about a red couch, but I can't get the exact fabric with the colour red I want. I just couldn't make it work.
So I've thought about the colours gray and green together.
Do you think a gray couch (a little bit lighter than a charcoal gray) and pale green walls go together?
Thanks for your help, I am a bit challenged in the decorating department.
ETA: post any pics if you have and if you can think of an accent colour that would be great.

Re: green and gray
I think gray, pale green or a grayish green and pops of yellow would look good together. Here are some inspiration pics:
Also a gray couch with slate blue and yellow accents:
This looks good too, it's like a taupe-y color on the walls with chocolate brown accents:
I LOVE this room! Image Attachment(s):

Re: green and gray
Thank you very much!
The pics are really what I was looking for. Most of the pics aren't green walls and I haven't found any with green walls. I take that as a sign.
I don't think I will paint the walls pale green, but instead do a light gray and green accents. Does that sound good or is that too much grey?

Re: green and gray
i think if you go light on the walls and more stark on the furniture, you'll be fine....love the added bright green for color!

I think a pale gray would look awesome! Then just add pops of color in the rug, curtains and throw pillows.

I agree with CaMacho (Jess). Jess love all the inspiration pics you found.  I would go with a pale gray on the walls....you might get sick of a pale green on the walls after a year or so. With the pale grey on the walls, you could do so much in the future with different colors. GL! Post pics when you room is done.

Re: green and gray
I found some pale green walls. Not with the gray though. Just thought you might want to see some pale green on walls.

Re: green and gray
JLdDolphin and Camacho always find such great inspiration pictures. I really do think you both have a natural gift for decorating and should pursue it.
I think grey walls might be better because you can change accessories and the look and might have more options than the green. Post pictures when you are done
