Sounds like my livingroom minus the carpet. I would consider a light tan. You definetly want to stay away from white or lighter cream. I would take your valance to a paint store and find a tan that goes well with the gold, that will be your toughest objection.
Reply:Sounds lovely. There are a lot of things to consider, such as the size of the room, the positioning of the furniture and draperies in conjuntion with the painted walls. Here is a good website that dicusses the use of color. I'm sure whatever you choose it will be great. You just need to make sure you consider the size of the room, how it interacts with everything else, and make sure that the hue of the color you choose is in the same color family as one of the colors you are already using.

Reply:A light tan will bring out the dark colors you have. A dark wall color will make the room look boring and depressing.
Reply:soft tan
Reply:A neutral brown or tan would be good...
