Neutral tones like white, beige, or light gray complement wood accent walls and allow the natural beauty of the wood to stand out. Darker shades such as charcoal, navy, or forest green create a bold contrast and can make the wood pop in a modern setting. If the wood has warm tones, consider using warm complementary colors like soft creams or muted yellows. For cooler wood tones, pair it with cool colors like blues or cool grays. The key is to choose a color that enhances the overall mood of the room.
