Any two walls that connect together. It will make the room look larger.
I think it's up to how your furniture is laid out in the room . Do you have a photo? Or any more details to share with us about the room?
I would put the darker of the two colors on the walls that get the most daylight during the day.
Which color thrills you when you see it? Make that the wall you see first. Unless it's your bedroom, in which case make it the wall you look at from bed. Attach the other colored wall next to the focal wall. The other two walls need to be neutral. Have fun decorating 😇
Take used printer paper and draw the basic shape of your floor on the center of the paper. then draw the walls from each side of the floor and cut out. Fold up the walls and tape after you have traced out each wall onto 2 separate sheets of paper. Color each separate sheet of paper the colors you have picked out and cut out the walls. I like to cut out windows and doors as well.
Now you can put up your colors in all different configurations until you see what you like!
Hope that helps!

I think you have to decide what do you look at when you first enter the room. If you want to see the accent color first, then put that color on the wall opposite the door. If you have a large piece of furniture (bed, book case, sofa) that will be against a wall, some people will make that the accent wall.
All great ideas. Thank you all very much.
