| I'm thinking of using 2 different colors in my open space living/dining room to add some depth, visual interest. Has anyone done this? Any tricks for how to make decisions on where to put lighter v. darker color? |

| Good day from my experience most people would pick 1 wall to be an accent wall, normally this would be the darker of the 2 colors, while the other 3 are the 2nd color. As for which wall will be the darker color a lot depends what is going on or along that wall. |

| I have more than 2 in my great room, all very pale shades: two colors are on structural elements of the soffit and the stucco of the fireplace - they make intersecting planes of color. Three more colors are on the walls, with the changes happening at the corners. It's very subtle color planes. |
