What is a good masculine color to balance out a room of pale yellow?

I am moving in with my grandparents this fall, into an old storage room that is pale yellow. I need colors for my bed spread and my curtains. Heavier colors would be okay.

Two ways to go here, both are considered to be "royal" power combinations. A deep satin blue would follow the French royal palette (blue and gold) but usually a dark red from the English royal palette (blood red and gold) would be considered more masculine. Stay the hell away from purple, even though it is considered a royal color. Good luck.
