Need help w/ paint color please
I have to decide today (I was told) what color I want the walls to be upstairs. It is one big room with a bathroom. I kind of wanted to do something a little more fun than the "Basket Beige" by SW that I have in all of the main areas downstairs. Here are the colors of the doors/carpet/stain that will be up there:
Doors (painted basket beige with a brown glaze over it)
Carpet (it's a goldish dark tan with black flecks...it looks ugly here but I like it...sigh)
Stain color for the baseboards, crown, trim around doors and cabinets in bathroom--the color is called burnished walnut
Would you go bold and do a red? Would you do a chocolate brown color? Green? Ultimately the upstairs will serve as a play area/guest quarters with a bed in the window nook, and in the main area a TV, couch and love seat. The furniture will be black leather.

I think this color looks nice with black furniture and the wood trim you've descibed. I'm not a fan of red paint though.
ETA: maybe a lighter, "burnt/orange-y" red or a light blue/turquoise?
I was going to suggest an apple green until you said black furniture. I think the green would be better with brown leather.
What about a deep purple?
