Painting Advice For Jewel Tone Living Room

I'd like suggestions on what color(s) to paint our living room walls. Our couch and my husband's chair are dark blue. The throw pillows on the couch have jewel-tone colors such as purple, green, gold, and blue. My chair is the same pattern/colors as the pillows.

Here's an update 3 years later when we are FINALLY able to have our living room painted. We've decided to paint one wall a lavender/purple color but still need to decide on what color for the other 3 walls. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Try taupe, beige, or pale yellow. Painting it a color will probably make the room too busy. A neutral color will make your current colored items "pop".

Gold sounds nice. And maybe do something geometric with the jewel-tone colors, like a narrow stripe of each around the top of the walls, or a jagged stripe on one wall, something that would bring the whole room together.

My daughter has a gold living room/den and it is beautiful. It sounds like that would work for you.
