Paint Color Advise With Brick Wall

I have a family room that has 3 walls that are used brick on the bottom and all windows on the top. The remaining wall is what I'm looking to paint, but would like some suggestions as to the color, I do like bold colors, also.

Whatever color you pick, I would keep it a lighter shade. I have my computer room painted a light coral and I love it. I also added a four inch flora border with colors of coral, yellow, blue, a little of purple and lots of different shades of green, again in light shades. It complements the wall great. Just pick your favorite color and run with it.

Try a rust color if you want to pull out the color of the brick or perhaps a warm yellow or sage.

I hated the brick fireplace in my family room. When I painted the room, I also painted the fireplace. It is not so obvious now and I can decorate the way I want to.

Use the boldest color palette of the used brick that compliments or go the opposite on the color wheel to a bold cool color.

My family room has a full brick wall with fireplace. What color should I choose for the other walls? The carpet is deep green, and the couch is rust.
