Someone else suggested this and I was surprise but it actually seems to go together well, light green with a dark red/maroon/burgundy.

I'd try using a tool on the sherwin williams website. It is called the color visualizer. You can match color and they display on the walls and trim in a room you select.

I just painted my LR/DR a light green color. I have lots of brown furniture (wood tables, e.t. center, sofa, couch, buffet table, hardwood floors) and it looks really calm. I wanted to be able to add other colors too so I got accent pillows for the couches with deep reds, small amounts of blue, green, yellow, etc. Now I was able to hang up deep red curtains and they pull from the throw pillows. I could also add colorful runners on the floor too as long as they can pull color from the pillows or curtains. I think it turned out well.

another black and red person here. honestly, if light green really isn't your style (as it isn't mine), if it were me, I'd just suck it up and paint the room. It's much easier to decorate to your liking if you're starting with a canvas that agrees with you ;-) a nice silver grey would be the perfect start of a red and black room (and I'm not just saying that becuase that's my livingroom heheheh.)

but if you REALLY detest painting, or don't have a free weekend, I would stick with wenge (super-dark brown wood). That color furniture has a miraculous way of neutralizing things that need to be de-emphasized.

Now 6 yrs old, haha! I did wonder how it could get over 50,000 comments in a new post! Very diplomatic, user1007

One pertinent question would be if it was a yellow green or blue green. But, if very light, might not matter. Would be nice to hear the update.
