DH repainted living room - What color for accent?

So DH came home the other night, surprisingly excited with the idea of repainting the living room. I gave in since he was so excited. I hate it. I am one for shades of stone and muted. It is a bright teal. It goes with nothing we already have in the room.

My question is, what color accents would go best with the color walls, and chocolate brown furniture?

I would say either chocolate brown, or black furniture...you can also maybe add some yellow accents??? (I could be wrong on that though!)

I have this color as an accent wall, while the remainder is a light stone grey- but my furniture is charcoal colored. I would think if you did a cream/coffee colored wall, it would go nicely with your furniture. Something like this

Thanks everyone. Maybe I'll convince Dh to paint a more neutral color on one wall. I like the idea of the red or yellow. I'll try to post a picture of the room when I get home from work tonight.

I would basically do neutral colors as accent colors. I LOVE this color normally but it could become very overwhelming very quickly.

Would he be interested in doing 1 wall that color or having that be the accent color?
