Green accents

First up, there are a few great dark green colors that stand perfectly on their own as an accent wall. Green is great for office spaces as it is associated with growth, but also money and finances.

SW-6461 Isle of Pines

This color leaves you feeling very balanced. Isle of Pines leans into a grayish green territory, providing a misty or foggy hue to your office. It pairs well with neutral colored furnishings, and adds a great backdrop to any office houseplants you may have.

SW-6468 Hunt Club

A bit deeper green than Isle of Pines, Hunt Club is a verdant and regal addition to any room. It looks especially wonderful in low lighting, for those working odd hours of the day. Your space feels much bigger when adding a color such as this.

SW-6460 Kale Green

Another fantastic green accent option is Kale Green. Like the name suggests, it has a leafy greenness to its shade. It’s definitely the lightest of the three colors mentioned here, and coordinates very well with lighter beiges and other neutrals.

Aesthetic blues

If green isn’t what you imagine for your office, don't worry! There are plenty of other options for you to consider for your space. Next up is one of the most popular color families: blue. Use a dark blue shade for a calming environment in your home office.

SW-9142 Moscow Midnight

This hue is reminiscent of a much darker teal. Moscow Midnight is perfect for a singular wall as an accent, as it could be a bit overwhelming if painted on every wall. You’ll find yourself soothed, yet focused with this shade in your office space.

SW-6229 Tempe Star

Next, there’s a nice coastal feeling blue for you to consider. Tempe Star feels like a cool morning along a cliffside, brought right into your home. Pair it with an off-white, or other grayish neutral color to really change up the feel.

SW-6510 Loyal Blue

Loyal Blue is by far the most ‘blue’ out of these three colors. Lovers of just a solid shade of blue will appreciate the look of this pure, darker blue. In an office room that gets plenty of natural light, this color truly shines and stands out as an accent.

Neutral darks

Not feeling primary colors? Dark, neutral colors are perfect for those looking to give their space a more masculine, powerful aura. It won’t stand out too much, but gives a unique character and feeling that isn’t achieved from other primary hues.

SW-7749 Laurel Woods

While surely a neutral color, Laurel Woods also sports a tinge of green. It’s only the slightest hint though, so expect it to pair well with other neutral greys and off whites. Laurel Woods is a great option for those who want a color leaning toward black, but without the full commitment such a dark wall.

SW-7020 Black Fox

This fantastic color choice works beautifully as an accent wall. The subtle tones of burnt umber almost give off a log cabin or upstate home kind of vibe. Try Black Fox highlighted with a dark yellow or tan to complete the look.

SW-6279 Black Swan

For those looking for a truly dark color to give your office the personality you’re looking for, consider Black Swan. It’s the darkest color mentioned so far, so if that gets you in the productive mindset, look no further!

Other great colors

For something a little different, here are a few more colors that you can use for an accent wall. These colors aren’t so dark, but absolutely provide that pop of interest to completely change the personality of your office space.

SW-6552 Dewberry

Are purples what you envision in the work space of your dreams? Take a peek at Dewberry for a brilliant grapey pop on your wall. Just take a look at your wall whenever you need a boost of passion for any project you’re working on.

SW-6678 Sunflower

Yellows are known to immediately brighten and liven the mood of a space. The aptly named Sunflower is no different. In the case where you want an accent wall to cheer up your day every time you enter, its golden hour hue fits the bill.

SW-6321 Red Bay

Last but not least, here’s a great red. Red Bay pairs well with off-whites and greys, or if you’re feeling extra colorful, a steely blue. Undertones of rusted orange make this a perfect color for accent walls.
