Color combos that oddly please the brain

"Maybe it's less about moderation and more about finding the right textures or finishes to balance things out..."

Good point on textures—I hadn't really thought about that. When we were picking finishes for our bathroom, I accidentally paired matte black fixtures with a soft peach wall color (long story, sample swatches looked different at the store...). Surprisingly, it grew on me. Maybe it's less about planned combos and more about stumbling onto something interesting by mistake? Curious if others had similar accidental discoveries.
