What color wall would go best with a taupe sofa?

Question

I just bought a taupe couch for my living room and all other furniture is black. The walls are painted white/off-white and those do not gel with the sofa (dull look). What color should I paint my wall? Thanks for the suggestions

Answer 1

light blue, or light green and also use coordinating throw pillows on the couch.

Answer 2

Blue or a light brown.

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:

I think a gold like "tassel" (# 6369) would look terrific.

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.

The colors I would recommend are cobalt blue, chocolate, a deep shade of orange or red.  You can go to https://www.glidden.com/visualizer/visua...   With this site you can choose the colors of your furniture and try different colors you would like to experiment with and see what if might look like.  If you were thinking of a certain color say, blue you could try lots of colors in the blue family to get the perfect one.  My personal favorite is in the red family, Drum Beat.
