After you have determined the mood you want to create with your paint color, ask yourself what other goals you'd like to accomplish. In this example, paint is used to either draw your attention to or away from an architectural feature of the room. The illustration on the right de-emphasizes the alcove by using the same color that's in the main room. In the bottom example, I've used a yellow to not only bring attention to the architectural feature (alcove) but to the pillow in the chair as well. Tricks like this help you get your "things" noticed. If you don't want such a bold statement, consider using the same green color for the alcove, just 2 shades darker on the color strip.
