Answers:
A Martha Stewart paint I got at KMart was Corkscrew Willow and mid brown color.
Cream would look nice, or a really light brown.
DARK BROWN OR BURNT ORANGE. i'm into interior design, trust me.
you need an off white color,to enhace the red,
walmart sells the color for $14 a gallon, or pick up a color sample chart at lowes . sounds great !!
Give some more information. Do you have waynscotting? Country style house? Colonial? Other furnishings? etc...
black,white and light pink would go lovely with red furniture
I would definitely stick with a light color. Beige, maybe. You don't to go too dark with red and dark wood!
creme. tan. lt. green. golds... u could even do a wash or sponge w/ golds & brown glaze.. that would look rich.
try http://www.sherwinwilliams.com & u can make u'r couch red then try the colors on the walls.
this is waht i would do, i would go really bright white on the wall, the contrast would look amazing. i know your furniture dosne't look like this, but i thought i'd put in a few pix so you can see how well these colors go together

Try a mushroom color for walls and accents. Compliment with a light beige to brighten and keep things balanced...
A dash of black in your accessories would look smashing!
Small + red upholstered furniture + dark woods = ivory, or off-white!
Add little dabs of brass or silver [ whichever you prefer ] in frames, candlesticks, and in a few pillow patterns.
Cream walls with one black accent wall.
Wow.this sounds beautiful. Picture this.taupe walls ...red furniture...dark woods and a very large plant.it will add color and bring the room alive. The taupe wall will be neutral, yet still add warmth to the room. Your furniture will just pop. Don't forget to add a rug to make it cozy. I hope this helps.
