    Almond is fairly neutral. I like warm colors with it, such as peach, terracotta.

    As a neutral, almond goes with EVERY color. When I design a room, I use the following formula for additional colors:


    - 60% main color (almond - the color you want)

    - 30% complementary color (colors you have)

    - 10% accent color


    In your case, I would take a couple of pieces of furniture or accessories that you are using for your decor and take a cue from these for your complementary color and accents. That way you can lessen the need to buy more items and not only use what you have an love, but save a considerable amount of money.


    For example, if your sofa is shades of teal or blue, I would use the almond for the wall shade (60%), add other shades of teal or blue for trim (30%) and pick a third color for just a bit of accent (like apricot or auburn - 10%)

    Go to a paint or big box store and select color chips. Bring them home and see what looks best in your house.

    Almond is a neutral color so any darker hues of the same color would complement it. Also, any bright colors that YOU favor would be good, if you like red, orange, yellow, or green, all those would look beautiful with it. Also blue would be nice, with all the shades from light powder blue to navy. Hope this helps

      No—white will make almond look dirty.
