You can either use similar shades of the same color or simply match with a safe option like white. But if you wish to bring a striking outcome to the area, you can always go for totally contrast shades.

This way you can observe how natural light affect the appearance of the color during different time of the day. It is always better to take some time to make sure you have chosen the most preferable option.
