...opposite wall? the colors i am using for this room are red, gray, cream, and black. black is only the furniture, but the red and gray are going on the walls. cream will be the trim, but which walls should I paint the red on? the wall with the window or any of the others?

[May I help You?]

I suggest you go to Walmart, Home Depot, and Lowe's - right to their paint department.
There they have the selection of color hues - with their complimentary accent colors. You may then see how dark or light the colors really are and how well they go together.

It also depends on the lighting in the room, and how many windows you have.

Lighter colors usually make the room seem larger. You may also decide to use one color for all of the walls, and then accent with the red with pillows or window treatments, or paintings that can be very reasonable from places lie Moore's and Walmart and such, or the use of an accent throw on a chair, or an accent rug.

You are only limited by your imagination, and the way you want you room to have openness or a more closed feeling.

GOD bless us always.

Drama or focus walls are the ones where you want the color. You haven't given any information as to what that wall would be in your room so I can't give you a good answer. When you walk into the room, what wall is featured the strongest? That should be the wall you do the drama on. Do you have a large wall or a fireplace wall that meets you first? Is the wall of windows the one that you see primarily?
