I have a LOT of orange in my house, and in fact, my house IS orange. I've had a look at your Canyon Orange and I think the basic problem is that I would not ever think to combine it with grey. It is similar to my DR ceiling, actually, a room that has wallpaper with a cream background (and the orange in it, along with purple and green). And plain cream on the walls other than that. So if that is your orange colour, I would go with a bright cream, not grey (*and not beige!!!*). But... why is that your chosen orange colour? I would pick an accent colour to help pull together other, less flexible elements in the room, not to create another element that needs to be integrated. The accent colour would be an outcome, not a input. Do you have any prints in the room? I find wallpaper, rugs, or upholstery to be a good place to unite all the different colours. We usually start with a wallpaper, actually, and then the room is always automatically pulled together as long as we stay within sight of the palette of the wallpaper. Maybe you have a piece of artwork, or could add one, that puts your chocolate brown with a good orange and the other tones you are working with? Whatever you use, it could give you the neutral you are after, and help you pinpoint the right orange for the chocolate brown (although I think the shade you've chosen is good for the brown). I know wallpaper is out of style (other than at my house :-)), but from what you've described, a print somewhere in the room might be a welcome change from all the unicolor items. Other orange combinations that we have... the house is P&L Mineral Red and is trimmed with a mid green and Black Magic (dark purple). The stairwell is a creamsicle shade from SW with white trim. And I have some furniture painted a wonderful burnished reddish orange combined with purple in one case, and navy in another. As for brown... I like it with a soft lilac, and I love orange and purple together. You might be able to find a lilac that would work with both your orange and your brown. Sounds insane, I know, but if you keep it very subtle it could work - a clear tone, not greyed. Or a sage green? Anything but grey :-) Karin L

Sounds lovely. I don't think it's unusual to do different wall colors in the same room anymore. Especially with open floor plans where morning or familyrooms join or share a kitchen wall. I had to do the same in my kitchen and actually love the contrast. Good luck with your build. I'm going to have to look up Rosewood granite. I don't believe I've seen it before. Sounds beautiful.

No accent wall. Take down the clock and put colorful artwork centered over the couch. What is that in the corner with a lighted something on it? I would take that away , unless it is a speaker...then take away just the lighted something on top. and put a low console under your TV. Looks like it is "floating" now. Do you have room for an end table and lamp? Or maybe just a floor lamp in the corner? Since you have made this room into two, could you turn your white sectional around and have the back of it sort of used as a room divider with the white chairs pulled up behind it like where they are sitting now? That way your couch would be directly in front of the TV. Your brown chair could be where the couch is now...against the wall sort of turned toward the TV.

personally I think that with an accent wall, the other three walls should match the white ceiling. I did find one grey and navy room that I really like though! or instead, consider doing the lower half navy and upper half light grey. I think that might be a great way to help keep the room from feeling too dark. if the natural light is strong enough, consider navy for all walls:
