Most people know that colors play a vital role in creating an accent wall. But, have you chosen perfect accent wall colors? Will you select a bold, bright color or their combination?
Here is my advice:
When it comes to accent wall colors, it’s better to use a darker or bolder than the rest of your room.
My article below can provide you with some ideal accent wall colors:
Paint Satches
First of all, you need to learn the top 7 paint swatches as follows:
#1. Blue Paint Swatches
If you are a lover of the medium hues, you should consider these colors. They never go out of style.
Blue paint swatches have the following choices:

In case you are looking for a safe color, I strongly recommend a bold navy. On the contrary, if you want to create a unique wall, cornflower blue is a great solution. It is a shade of medium-to-light blue with a little green like valuable blue sapphires.
