What if there are different colors on the walls in a room?
It is quite common to have 3 of the walls painted in a particular color while the remaining wall is painted in a totally different color. In such a room paint the window knob in the same color as the color used on the 3 walls i.e the color that is most abundant on the walls of the room.
The wall that is painted in a different color acts as a feature wall. The paint color for that wall is specifically chosen to create a desired contrast in the room. Unless darker colors of grayish shade are not used on the accent wall, window knob should not be painted in same color as the accent wall.
