What color paint for walls to compliment a red brick fireplace in a kitchen? (granite, cabinets)

[WiseWords]

Staying away from neutrals as they would obviously look great, are there any other colors that might compliment a red brick fireplace in a kitchen?

[elnina]

oh... that depends... Would you care to post a picture of the kitchen??

I dont have a pic at the present! Just looking for general ideas.

Greens always look nice with red but you have to be careful that you don't get the Christmas look.

The thing is: the color has to compliment not only your red brick fireplace but also the cabinets, appliances and floor. That's why I was asking for a picture to see the whole interior

Ah yes. Bricks are more brown, black, dark red with neutral tones as well, than "brick red".

A sagey type green. Some kind of light gold or yellow.

Try Sherwin Williams 6127 Ivoire. It's a gold color that blends nicely with many other colors.

Sherwin Williams Jogging path is my latest find. Its a sagey/grayish color that would work great with those colors. I am using it in a kitchen with blacks appliances, brown cabinets, a granite that has blacks & browns, a maple colored floor. if you go to Sherwin Williams' website they also have color visualizing tool

I love Laura Ashley Olive #3 or 4 - looks great with almost any color. I've used in in both my present and previouse house. You can have it mixed at Lowes.
