I think either the second from the left or the middle one would work well in your room.

Mike;
What a great room!! I really like your setup. I see you got black Rotels (mine are silver). Again, congrats on your Rotel. I also read your review at the other thread and really liked it. It is as you said: Rotel has this distinct, crisp sound that I really love.
I think you should keep the black grill. You dont want it to be all matchy-matchy... Besides black matches a bit your sofa.

I think contrast is a good thing. You have enough dark things in your space to keep the black grills. Looking at the first pic, if you go to a lighter grill it will look too much like the vertical logs of the fireplace. If you can, drape the swatches over the top of the speakers so they can partly hang down the front, and then look at them. If you want the speakers to blend in with the wall, that's ok, but for my money I'd stick with black, or one of the darker colors.

yeah, but the burnt sienna can tend to look pink under certain lighting conditions. i think i'd go for the black grilles. it's better to have that contrast than to have a grille color thats close, but not quite matching that rest of the colors in the room.
Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?

Great place!!!!
I like the black.
I dont think they stick out like a sore thumb at all, but if you must change, try the center color.
