It seems to me that those dark fabrics just need some whites and mustards to really bring out their beauty.. Try adding more contrasting colors.. I look for CW fabrics that include some white in the pattern and believe me, it makes an enormous difference.. Also, there are some wonderful purples and lavenders and turkey reds that enliven them, too..
