Help picking an accent color for the entryway

After 3 years of begging, pleading, and nagging, I finally convinced my DH to let me paint (the first level at least). The thing of it was, he gave in four days before the new hardwood floors went in. I had to pick my colors on the fly, and I didn't have time to agonize over it. If you knew how indecisive I can be, you'd know that it was definitely for the best.

Because of the short time frame we had, I used Behr's Premium Plus Ultra line, and I decided to skip the stairwell. Thanks to my 2 y/o leaving blackberry handprints all along the wall, I'm gonna need to take another trip to the paint section. I wanted a neutral in the entryway because it's where we keep most of the paintings, so I went with Crepe. I really love it, but now I don't know if I want to continue it up the stairwell or do an accent color. And if I do do an accent do I go darker or lighter? Please help me make a decision before my toddlers are ready to enter highschool.
