Good morning Rocky. Never gave much thought to accent walls until I retired and moved to downtown Chicago. While hanging some art work in our downsized unit, I thought about how the art would look if the background color was different. When we we ready to move, the new occupant disclose that they had similar pieces and the accent walls were perfect. A valuable lesson to give credence toy your thoughts. Thanks for the tip. Enjoy your day.
