I don't have a stair rail yet, Should I choose wood to match the floor? or iron? I personally like the blue color (the blue color close to grey.) Now it sounds like it's too dark according to your opinions.
There are some really light, bright blues that should work. As far as the rail, sounds like either would look nice. It's mostly an aesthetic choice. I like iron, but that's just an opinion.
Try a wood & Iron stair-rail. You can get the "spindles" in several styles at both Lowes & Home Depot. How about a pale Teal Bule with splashes of Orange/coral for accents! Remember it's not matchy, matcy, bur BLEND!

Get a couple of paint cards (several taped together if you need bigger swatches) and put up against walls and leave them so you can see how they work throughout the day and in different lighting. The darker colors tend to absord light, yet can also reflect

beautifully against warm woods, rustic textures, the iron you mentioned.
I would go with a pale yellow or mint green. Pick a light shade and maybe a semi gloss.
