Question
Hello,

I have painted our master BR a bright coral.  I'm wondering what color would be good for the carpeting.
The woodwork is white.  Also, what accent colors would work
best?

Thank you,
Pat

Answer

coral
Coral is a strong color so I wouldn't try to compete with it too much. I would go with off white carpeting for a timeless appeal. For accent colors I would go with a tan as your main accent color and then add small accents in a pretty sage green. I have attached a color board so you can get an idea. Hope this help!
