How do I create a two-toned wall?

We bought a house completely redone. All the walls look like this (pattern and color). How can I two-tone the wall with this pattern? My colors are natural wood & burgundy. Any color suggestions? I wouldn't mind keeping the beautiful neutral tone but would like a pop of color. Even if it's subtle or an offset wall. Everyone was so helpful on the backsplash behind my range.
Here in Florida they refer to this as an "orange peel" finish. To get a clean line between the two tones, you will have to use a chair rail or some other molding, otherwise you will never get a clean line.
You can apply paint tape, paint the 1st color of paint to create a seal, let it dry and then paint the 2nd color. I've never used this method on textured walls, but it works great for flat walls. It's worth a shot.
