My bedroom has one accent wall painted in Behrs Blanket Brown- the others are Regal. Are those ';warm'; colors?

I think all colors can be either warm or cool- ie, there are warm red tones (like orange red) and there are cool reds (like merlot). I really like cool colors and am having a hard time finding matching bedding that I like. But I am reading on the net that browns are warm inherently. I'd like your opinion on accent colors- I am considering a shade of purple and/or green. Here is a link for the current bedroom colors: http://www.materials-world.com/paint-col鈥?/a>My bedroom has one accent wall painted in Behrs Blanket Brown- the others are Regal.

I would consider them a warm neutral. Browns are achieved by mixing red with green. Your brown is a pinkish brown so a lot of white was added to the mix.

Don't drive yourself crazy with it though. Some colors are easier to determine the undertone whether it be black, brown or white. Although green is considered a cool color, adding more yellow to it makes it a warm green working its way towards lime green on the color wheel. If you add more blue, it becomes a cool green working it's way towards a teal. Then the green is lightened with white or darkened by adding black. With purple, having more red to it, makes it a warmer purple going towards magenta and more blue, makes it a cooler purple going towards indigo. Again, lightened by adding white or darkened by adding black. So, if you like cool colors such as green, try something like a sage green, olive green or a whitened up green rather than a black undertoned emerald green. For a purple shade, try grape or lavender rather than a dark black undertoned purple. Both purple and green would work with your wall color. It is finding the right shade which can be difficult.
