The use of color is also something very personal. It stimulates our senses, power our mood, and helps create a particular ambiance. How we respond to an individual color depends on our nature, extroverts tend to feel happy with bold colors, while introverts prefer more passive colors.





Through using specific combinations of color, combined with a careful consideration of simple color schemes is often the most effective.





Try not to use more than one or two principal colors in a room, as well as a contrasting or balancing tone. The best way to choose a background color for the room is to trial with a palette of different shades and tones, in combination with the color and textures of the furniture and materials. Remember the general color schemes of a home have to be in agreement. The walls define the space in a room, while the colors, to a large degree, define the mood.





Colored light, furnishing materials, and structural proportions, we can create a home that is welcoming, helpful, and comfortable. Walls are similar to background music: each color tone is like a musical note can create a pleasant-sounding harmony while others grate with each other.





The color with which we surround ourselves will without doubt have an effect on us, and so it is important to feel comfortable with our choice. A discussion with a professional color consultant can help to decide individual needs and select appropriate color.





Colors can be divided into three main groups: those that stimulate and uplift, those that relax and calm, and those that provide harmony or balance. So, having taken a number of things into thought when decorating a room, such as the size of the space, the amount of light, the function if the room, and the style and mood we wish to create, we finally, and most importantly, need to consider the needs of the people who use it.I want to paint my living room, but I would like to change the colour.

A very pale blue would look adorable. Especially if you accent the room with other light blue items....such as pillows, rugs etc. Blue and yellow are fantastic together. It'll create a very airy, light and relaxing room.


Just don't do red! You don't want your house to look like McDonalds!

You need to paint the walls a different color to make your sofa stand out. What about robins nes blue.
I agree with Jenny K. I'm not much of a blue person either. I love the idea of red!!! Sage green is another of my favorites and would look great. It all depends on colors you love and can live with and how you accent the color you choose.
Caramel mocchiatto is a great colour, it's rich and luxurious looking on the walls without being too dark. Use cream and chocolate accents in the room and some yellow on other pieces of furniture to detract from the couch colour but also to tie it in, yellow flowers in vases across the room may just be enough though.
You have LOTS of options, as long as you keep in the same TONE of the yellow, for example, if it's a soft, warm, buttery yellow, then use as equal a soft color on your walls. Ask your self what colors you like, do you want the room to be light and airy, or darker and sophisticated? Yellow ( SOFT yellow) is a neutral color. Of course, as many people answered, a soft blue is nice (personally, I'm not a BLUE person, even though I think it looks nice with yellow---Those was the colors of my laundry room-I just wouldn't want blue livingroom walls, my opinion. very country) Soft sagey-green is nice, brown goes, heck....even Bold RED will go. Just be sure that whichever color you choose, you pull it into your sofa by using throw pillows that feature both the color of your walls %26amp; the color of your sofa, and also another accent color if you choose, in a print fabric and a couple of solids. Then repeat the same print fabric as your throw pillows in your curtain trim , and maybe under an accessory (as a placemat/doiley) on the other side of the room. This will pull any color scheme together.





Everything goes with yellow. reminder* stick with a wall color in the same tone* (don't do cool with warm, don't do bright with soft)





You'll do just fine.
Take a sample of your sofa's fabric to Benjamine Moore. They are EXCELLENT at matching colours!!!
I agree - blue would be good. With those colours you could go with a French country type theme or nautical or a town and country type look.
