Every color, yes every color, has a complement that will help integrate it into a good looking color scheme. This is such a fun challenge for me to find the complementary colors that work well together, and really, all you need is a very good color chart. There are bad ones out there, so be careful. Some of you have heard my story about the distraught woman at the HD paint display practically in tears. Using that store's color chart, the maroon and the gold she had chosen were supposed to work very well together but she ended up with a room the Minnesota Gopher sports team boosters would've loved. Her son was hysterical as he gladly offered to paint over it for her!
Color theory isn't an easy subject to learn. There are some great books available on the subject as well as some tricks include finding fabric that includes your difficult color (think tricky brown cupboards that are expensive to replace). This is just one more area that getting some professional consultation can save you a lot of time, aggravation, and money.
