To answer your question white is always a favorite with a piece of sage green furniture but you could always go with a feature wall of off white or light grey to spice the room up a bit.

Should you paint the ceiling and trim the same but darker green color when painting the wall a light natural green?

Traditional decorating thought says you should not paint a ceiling anything but white. Don't listen... but do be aware of what effect you will get. 1) If your walls are a light natural green and you paint the ceiling the same colour it will cause you to perceive the green as a bit darker. The light reflecting from the walls and ceiling will have that effect. Having the ceiling the same colour as the walls can on occasion cause the feeling of being "in a box" as the ceiling will seem a bit closer than if it were white. 2) A white ceiling will cause the room to seem a bit brighter and the ceiling itself will seem a bit higher. 3) A good compromise, if you want colour on your ceiling, is to use a lighter colour of the same green as your walls. I often add white paint to the wall paint to achieve this effect. As for baseboards, window and door casings and other trim, there are three schools of thought here. 1) Paint all trim throughout the entire building one consistent colour. Often white or cream and sometimes natural wood, this gives you continuity throughout and eliminates the need to decide where to change colours as you go through a doorway. 2) Paint the trim the exact colour of the walls, frequently this is a "fast and dirty" fix in apartments etc where the cost of anther paint and the time required to be careful in applying it are factors in the choice. If you choose to use the same colour, please have a semi-gloss paint mixed to match as using "wall" paint on baseboards etc. leaves the areas more susceptible to scratching, chipping and damage. (Wall paint is not usually as hard as trim paint) 3) Paint the trim in another colour. Either a darker version of the wall colour, or a colour you find esthetically pleasing in combination with what you have in the room. In all three cases I can not stress enough the importance of getting the paint mixed in a "trim" paint.


What color can you paint your wall with a purple couch?

white ------- A light violet might be nice, or a minty green. Also, if you really like the color blue, another, maybe darker shade of blue or turquoise might look really good. Don't use red/orange: they don't go very well with grayish blue.

What color to paint walls with chocolate couch?

Red or burgundy!


What color should you paint your walls when the carpet is an aqua?

I'd say a light cream, peachy or purple colour. Not blue or green because they will clash with the aqua. Black is to dark unless you have it as a single feature wall but even then, no.
