Colors for Black and White Room

Today I wanted to experiment with how a picture can change the mood of a room. On a white wall behind a black IKEA couch, originally a picture from the Colorado Rockies was displayed.

The mountains were so beautiful in the morning -- when I took the picture, I saw a family of elk walking at the bottom of the valley. It was a great experience to see the sunrise from the top of the Rockies -- I can still smell the cool air and feel the warm sunlight!
Okay, back to our black and white room -- I thought the picture of the Colorado Rockies have many earthy colors that give me a calm feeling. But how about if I want a happy and lively mood in our room? How about if your office has a black couch, and you are stressed out and need colors that cheer you up?
So I picked one of my most colorful and happy looking pictures and tested how it looks like.

I think lively colorful pictures can help light up a black and white room very well! What do you think?
