I used seaform green on my walls with a dark blue/green carpet. I used burgandy accents. It all works well together.

Gold shades are the latest "in" color. I have a meduim blue carpet in my bedroom and just painted the walls Pyramid Gold from Home Depot and color washed Pale Honey over them (I wanted something in the middle of those two colors). Then I hung striped curtains with navy blue valances and it looks great!
