    It is very common for people to choose dark paint colors to match the dark tones in their hardwood floors or furniture. One practice is to look at the root color contained in the wood to use as a guide for selecting a wall paint color. Dark woods usually have a red tone in them, so colors that go well with red, or red itself, can be a good choice for wall colors.

    On the Other: Light Colors with Dark Wood

    If you are looking for a more high contrast and bold option, you can pair lighter paint colors with your dark wood. Using a lighter paint color tends to focus attention to the dark wood in the room. Also, as the light changes in a room throughout the day, the paint on the walls will look lighter, drawing even more attention to the dark wood.

    Bottom Line

    If you are a homeowner who is not ready for the high contrast and drama created by using a lighter color of paint paired with dark wood, then choose a dark color. Dark colors that pair well with dark woods are those that mimic the wood's color such as deep reds, dark browns or dark yellows.
