What accent color should I use for my Black and Beige living room?

Question

My sofa and love seat are beige leather with black accent pillows. The picture frames in the room are black. The TV stand and coffee table are black. The rug has black and two shades of beige. I am moving to another apartment and would like to throw in an accent color to brighten the room and be able to paint an accent wall in the new apartment. Any suggestions?

Suggestion 1 - Get an oriental rug area that has the beige and black and other colors. Take one of the additional colors and use it as your 3rd color. Add more accent pillows in that color and chachkies.
for instance http://www.csnrugs.com/Balta-Rugs-9010-0… and picking up that subtle green. Or something more contemporary http://www.csnrugs.com/Couristan-2284-01… Vault panel your accent wall http://fabulousfinishes.files.wordpress.…

Suggestion 2 - Choose a rich textured solid rug. Rather then a feature wall get a screen that allows fabric and use the same color and material as your new accent rug. Another idea is to paint one that color. http://www.csnrugs.com/Couristan-9666-06…
