We just help our son and daughter-in-law paint their entire house. The color was beautiful and neutral to accent with anything. We used Behr Plus Paint (which my husband says is the best paint and cleans well) The color was called "creamy mushroom". The color is a mixture of brown, gray, cream, etc. Behr has the option for you to buy a sample and go home and try it. By the way our ceilings, doors, floorboards are all white. Give it a try. You can get this paint at Home Depot.

I'd suggest you take a good photo without the quilts on the couch and play with photoshop and color swatches. You can scan the photo and then scan the color swatches. Then, replace the wall color with the colors from the swatches.

They have sample cans of paint you can buy, take it home and paint it on your wall and leave on for a spell to see how they turn out. Even a celedon green.
I would go for a light peach, blues with your blues will make it cold looking and watch out for to much brown,
