Impossible wall color compromise?
My husband and I are decorating our first home. We have a small budget and already own all our furniture so have to work with what we have for the most part.
Our problem is that my husband wants COLOR on the walls. As colorful as possible. No gray. No tan. No greyish in any way. We have a dark red traditional couch (all our furniture is traditional/antique dark wood), 2 olive green tapestry chairs, and a subtle gold upholstered chair. The carpet is neutral.
I cannot for the life of me come up with a wall color that works with these pieces and satisfies my husband's desire for color on the walls. I've tried to talk to him about a neutral color on the walls and splashes of color in the furnishings, but nothing doing.

Good luck and happy decorating

Pick blues to tie it all together. Show him samples of sky blues with gray in them. They look blue but read gray and should help tie the dark red, olive green and gold colors together.
