I have a hunter green couch/recliner and I am planning on color washing the walls. The color will be a goldish yellow. What color throw pillows should I use? I am thinking I would like to have orange, yellow, green, reds and browns but is that too much? I have already purchased new green curtains that match the couch and a bamboo colored large vase. I need help please!!!!

The colors you listed could be found in a patterned pillow, and then pick one color accent to be the third color of the room as a solid pillow to go with it, and carried out here and there throughout the room.
Take a look at these patterned pillows to give you a better idea:

As a third accent to the golden yellow and hunter green, I’d add a burnt orange or deep red. Then you’d have a tertiary scheme.
you have some good ideas,i agree with you
Yeah I think you should go with yellow and brown and orange.
I think your colors sound good all natural colors… If not I would go with multi colored pillows and mix em up.. that’s my style
I would Suggest Tan Because it will match the bamboo colored vase nicely. That type of green looks very well with tan. My Son’s room is Hunter green and his sheets are Tan.
red, yellow, orange, and brown. Put a variety of colors on the couch. It really adds a nice pop of color. Throw pillows are an area where it’s ok to go crazy with different colors, patterns, and textures. Have fun with it.
I do think all those colors are bit much. The perfect complement to a green couch is actually red. I would stay away from just a standard red though. You should consider a deep red like a burgundy or something similar. Also don’t opt for a solid color. Choose something with an interest pattern that coordinates with the style of your room. Good Luck
