Sepia or B&W with a purple and green theme?

Question

I am redoing my room. Age 15 female. I am wanting to do a rich purple wall color (Dutchboy Regal Dream) with green, like a muted lime, accents. I plan to have 6 silver frames above my futon. 3 will be pictures of my pets and 3 will be mirrors. In a checkerboard design. 2 high 3 wide. I want to know if I should use sepia or black and white pictures.

I think the black and white would go better with the sophisticated theme. Plus my furniture will be black.

Answer 1

I think black and white becaues if you use sepia then you will be bringing in browns and black & white will work with the silver and the mirrors

Answer 2

I think black and white would go best.  Sepia wouldn't stand out like the black and white will, and that's what you need in a room with the choise of colors you are using.  Good luck!

Answer 3

Black and white will look clean and cool against the purple.  Sepia will be too muted. I think in the silver frames, the black and white will look good but the sepia would contrast a bit.

Good luck with your project.

Answer 4

I say black and white, you can never go wrong with black and white prints! They make the art work/pictures seem more classy and custom in a room! Best of luck on your project!

Answer 5

the brown sepia tones will not go at all with a royal purple or black.  Black and white is the way to go.

I have had light purple walls with green red and black accents for a few years now and im getting a little sick of it.  You seem to have an excellent vision going though. Good luck!
