We have an open floor plan with a great room and foyer 2-stories high. Pictures below are BEFORE we painted. The great room has one wall with a lot of windows that faces West:

Both the great room and foyer have oak floors:

And here is the Foyer (which faces East):

We are somewhat traditional in style but we have a liking for contemporary/modern styles too. We are looking for something interesting, NOT "boring beige". Right now we have a brown leather sectional in the great room which is modern in style (low profile, clean lines) and we have a TV console made out of wood that is dark red in color. Everything else is a clean canvas.

We are thinking about putting an accent color on the GR wall with all the windows and painting the rest of the GR and Foyer another color. Looking for contemporary/modern color combos to consider for this, or any other ideas to consider. We realize color comes down to personal choice, but so far, we have not been able to settle on a color(s). We are hoping to get some color combos that are tried and true for us to consider. If you have any pictures, that would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!
