Opinions needed, pretty please!

So the paint is on the wall, and honestly, I like it a lot. However, it's not exactly what I had in mind for the finished room.

I had envisioned something a little darker. Like this:

Maybe not quite that dark, but close. Something that would make the molding and wall decor really pop. So now I have to decide if I want to try to go darker by adding another coat of paint of the same color or going an actual shade darker.

I'd like your opinions on this. Should I...a) keep it the way it is, b) same shade, but add another coat, or c) go a shade darker?

I'd also like you to weigh in on another decision I'm trying to make. It involves accent colors. The two colors at the top of my list are teal and yellow. Let me show you the inspiration photo's I put together when I started this project.

The photo's don't necesarally represent the design style I would go with, they're just a representation of how each color works with the gray base.

That being said, I also have the option of using both colors like in the last photo.

So what's your vote on the shade of grey and also, what's your vote on the accent color??

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject. Ultimately, I may just ask Andy to choose anyway. He's got to live in the room too so I want him to love the finished product as much as I do.

Ok regarding the gray I like the color you have but if you want it darker the darker does look really nice. I'd default to Andy on that one because as you said he has to live there too...

With the accent color I personally am for the teal. I love teal and think it's a great color. If you go with yellow I found myself liking the 3rd picture from the bottom where the yellow seemed to be a brighter shade of yellow. Maybe I just like a brighter hue...

I totally love it though! I'm sure it will look amazing!

Kim, I am feeling the yellow. I also have been working my master bedroom and it is turning into shades of gray, tan, yellow and ivory. My favorite element of the room? A dark brown chunky weave basket filled with carved wood balls, grapevine balls, and pearl balls. I adore how the luster of the pearls plays off the dark woods.

Like sample pic 5, I love the gray/yellow/white/ with wood accents instead of gray accents. I also really like the darker shades. I would do a darker gray.

Gray is the perfect color for a wall, you can change the color of all your stuff and it will still compliment the wall, or vice versa. love the gray!
