Red and green should never be seen ?

[AryaOfHouseSnark]

Or is it something else and green .
I have dining room chairs a similar couloir to this
Would green go with that red ?
I have seen, I can't remember where, pictures of a red sofa and green walls and it looked lovely.
I was thinking of delux willow creek either 2 or 3, as that seems quite close to the couloir I saw somewhere - probably on a photo on Facebook.
I will link in a moment, for some reason my iPad keeps loosing my op whenever I leave this window
What do you think ?

Tia.

ta da willow creek 2.

Couloir ? quelle du feck iPad ?

Holly berries seem to go with holly leaves. It's all about the shade and depth blah blah rather than the colour as such

Yes, you're right Edith, thanks, I am not too sure they're the right shade and depth though.

Green and red are opposite on the.colour wheel so they do go together. I think the rhyme is blue and green.

thanks Nikki, I wasn't too sure about the rhyme. So they do go, brilliant.
I actually like blue and green together too though.

I've heard it as 'red and green should never be seen, except upon an Irish Queen'... but I've also heard it as 'Pink and Green should never be seen....' so I've no idea!

But red and green can look gorgeous (just think of lovely rich christmassy colours).

blue and green should never be seen

Oh the confusion, bloody rhyme.
So do you think these greens would go with this red ? If so which one ?

I'd go for a mossy green with that red - a bit like the ones here.

hmm - don't know how that happened - two moss greens the same - this is the other I intended.

Nope - I wouldn't put those 'fresh' greens with that deep red. I'd go as the PP said, for something mossier / knocked back.

It's blue and green that should never be seen. Red and green go very well, particularly at Christmas.

Thanks, I quite like the lighter one. I like it a lot actually
We have a north facing dining room that don't get much light, do you think it will be ok in a darkish room ?

Willow Creek is too bright. An olive green would be good.

Thanks, I had an idea it might be, it's such a lovely couloir though
I found these moss colours I like soft moss 3, will have a look for olive greens

Fucking colours FFS iPad

Bumping incase anyone has any more suggestions.
I am going to b&q tomorrow to pick up some tester pots, we like soft moss 2 and 3. Do you think they're mossy / knocked back enough ?
I am rubbish at seeing how it will look on the walls and don't want to have a disaster.

The soft moss 4 and 5 are lovely! They should go very well.

sorry - I meant nos 3 and 4.

brilliant thank you.

I quite like the darker colours too, but they would be way too much in my tiny dining room.

I know the rhyme as blue and green should never be seen, unless there's a colour inbetween.

there are so many variations.

What if the colour in between in red ? Does that work ?

I don't know which colour will go but I have those chairs and they're lovely. Well they were until my cat destroyed them.

Perhaps an avocado colour would work? Or a coffee colour? Excuse the massively posh living room, that's the only photo I could find of the colour I was thinking of!
