Need advice about shelf/frames/furniture colors!?

We have chocolate brown couches and brown living room furniture. We just got our living room painted a light oatmeal color and one wall is a dark red (I call it ';barn red';). I'm about to hang family pictures on the red wall and think they look best in black frames. On the larger oatmeal wall next to it, we bought black shelves and will sit more black framed pictures on it. My husband was about to hang them and now I'm not sure of the shelf color choice. I didn't think the black frames would look nice on brown shelves and do not want to go to the expense of having to buy all new brown frames. Any advice?

If you can find a shelf in espresso brown that would look nice, it's a deep enough brown that there is still enough contrast but not too much. Also if you have white details in your living room, try white. I have a white shelf in my guest bedroom and it just pulls the white from the baseboards, doors, and pillows on the bed. It just lightens it up because i too have lots of blacks in that room. Hope this helps :) :)
in our living room, our focal wall is brown and our walls are sandalwood, the woodwork is white and so is our mantle over the fireplace, the shelves are solid and the brackets are tubes so there are no visible signs of hangers, the shelves are also white, which does not take away from the wall, put your pictures on shelves, and maybe something else on the red wall
You can spray paint the frames or the shelves. As a designer we try not to be matchie matchie so are you sure you want to do anything.
Everything should be a different color. Bring some red or pink or yellow into your life, girlfriend. Love it. Own it. I'm out, yo.
