Answer 1

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

Peach would look good. I think a green like "rural green" (# 6418) might look good with the red.

You can also take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions & they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

white, cream, or light orange http://www.behr.com/behrx/workbook/index...

Answer 3

the best color to go with red is green (think color wheel!) but that doesn't necessarily mean that you need to have a Christmasy-themed room. try a sage green or deep hunter green (instead of neon). also try dark wood things like desk, chair, tables, etc. best wishes

According to the color wheel you should use green as it's a complementary color of red. But here's an article that'll help you chose something else either by using different shades of red for a monochromatic color scheme or tertiary colors (which would be blue, red, yellow in this case). But seriously, check out the article. It's bound to give you a couple good tips...http://blog.forrent.com/apartment-decora...
