# How to Paint a Room Sage With Yellow and Purple Accents
Say "goodbye" to bland walls and "hello" to a burst of color with sage and bright accent colors. Yellow and purple, while bold choices, are ideal to complement the cool dominant selection of sage. To make a room feel balanced rather than overwhelming, it’s important to use just the right balance of the colors. A quick spin of the color wheel shows that this combination of colors works, but don’t stop there -- arm yourself with your paintbrush and add some pop to your walls.

1
Choose two or three walls of the room to paint sage.
-
2
Make a focal point of the remaining wall by painting it yellow or purple. Choose a light hue of the color, particularly if applying in a small space, so as not to overwhelm the environment with too much color.

3
Apply a decorative accent such as stripes or a stenciled pattern in the remaining color. Embellish with stripes only on the accent wall, but appropriately space out the stencil among all of the walls to create a balanced look. Use a faux technique, such as sponging or ragging, in lieu of stripes or a stenciled pattern to incorporate the accent colors.
