What color for an accent wall in LR

We are painting our LR and are having trouble deciding on a color for our accent wall. We have chosen to stick with a grey theme and are using BM Coventry Gray as the main color. I was thinking of doing the accent wall BM Chelsea Grey, but DH think it'll make the room too dark. Any suggestions? Our couches are dark grey (these will be replaced soon), and our throw pillows are grey/yellow.

What are the other colors in your home? Personally, I would do some thing bright-maybe a yellow--on the BM website they show deep in thought as an accent color but you could go with a more saturated hue.

I would do a color I dont really like muted looks though so I guess it depends on your personality. If you dont like bright for an accent wall what about a light blue? goes great with grey and yellow!

You guys are probably right with having color. Our decor is yellows, grays and black, and I don't really want to change that out. I'm now thinking of maybe doing BM Wedgewood Grey as an accent- it's a blue/green grey. I've been looking through Pinterest, and am loving this combo.

YES! I think that is enough color to make it pop without being too much, good pick!

We're painting our nursery BM Stonington Gray and the accent wall will be BM Lemon Sorbet. Not sure if that's too light for a living room, but I like the way it looks together.
