what colour woodwork to go with Pale Hound (lightish Yellow)

We've just changed the wall colour from warm pinky grey to pale hound. It's a gorgeous limey/yellow colour but I'd like to paint the woodwork darker so the wall colour really stands out. Any suggestions? Would a warm dark grey like Charleston grey go? Or a browny/yellow like Hay? Most photos of pale yellow rooms show crisp white woodwork, but it's a second reception room and we can afford to be a little more daring in this room. The room is south east facing. It loses it's direct sun light by lunchtime.

In most circumstances, cats and dogs do not go well together.

I usually like white woodwork but saw your thread title and immediately thought of grey woodwork. Charleston grey might be a wee bit too dark, ddepends on the lighting.

I like Charleston Grey (my first thought) and and also a greener grey (French grey?) I don't particularly like hay.....a bit too samey and institutional.
