Need color/decorating help UPDATE!
I am a frequent poster trying to hide from the prying eyes of her husband.
I am redoing our bedroom for our anniversary.
I ordered a new duvet, shams, rug. we have some wood black shelving and wall accents. I am planning to paint our existing (old) furniture either white or dark grey.
I am looking for new bedding...I don't feel like buying white, so I was thinking to get the sheets and a set of shams in an accent color.
who wants to take a crack at it..?
again, the main colors are white (walls) black (wall accents) and whatever shade of grey/white the duvet is. everything else will be purchased new to match.
help me out! TIA
PS...$10 internet dollars to whoever fms me with my real identity 
ETA: here is the duvet
JUST received packed from West Elm. the duvet, though grey looking in the photo and the magazine, is really some fatigue mix of colors. It's going back!

I can't believe I didn't think of red!
and I like orange...but how would orange work with black accents?
ETA:
I forgot that I also ordered these throw pillows (will keep one if I like it, not all...or possibly not any)
what do you think? (I should add I am a fan of pairing up different patterns)

Orange would work great.
With that color combo, you could really choose any color for an accent. Turquoise/aqua/blue...yellow, green. The possibilities are endless - especially if you're someone who likes to change things up.

I do.
which would be easy with a few different throws and other little accents..
so in terms of bedding, what would you do there (sheets and shiit!)

Sheets, I would keep white...but I prefer white sheets. I would add the color with throw pillows and various other accents in the room.
