It's not just the colours of the F&B paint, it is the quality it covers so well, I know this as I have had the tester pots, but thanks for the tip anyway, worth knowing.:beer:0 -

I have chocolate coloured curtains and a lot of chocolate furniture in my living room. We recently painted the walls with -
Dulux - Soft Montelimar
http://www.dulux.co.uk/servlet/ColourAvailabilityHandler?name=soft_montelimar_4
It is a very soft, almost nougat colour, goes on a bit paler than it looks. It goes so well with it and at least isn't the usual cream that most people go for.

Laura Ashley do a lovely duck egg blue, not sure on the cost or qualty of paint, but it will give you an idea of the duck egg colour.
http://www.lauraashley.com/icat/paintcollection they also do some lovely duck egg and cream/gold rugs.
Hope this helps.

I like the Montelimar but, personally I'd go for a touch more lilac or violet - like Amethyst Showers:

If you don't feel very adventurous you can choose a shade more towards soft grey.
Accessories could be in darker shades of lilac and in duck egg blue or teal - they both go well with pale lilacI write blogs about kitchens ... and I design kitchens for a living ... I just love kitchens!0 -

I've just finished decorating my lounge with brown. I've got Dulux Cookie dough as a feature wall and gentle fawn on the rest. I've got oak furniture and you've guessed it a chocolate brown sofa and curtains!!:rotfl:
What I'm doing is accessorising with duck egg blue. I've just bought some lovely candles in teal/duck egg blue and I'm going to get some canvas prints with some colour in them. You can also always get a big rug with some blue in. What about this one or similar:
