Colour advice - Living room

I’m decorating my living room.
Walls will be a off white. I have white and oak furniture. I want a colour for my chimney breast wall. Wall with fireplace on. I’m painting fireplace white.

I’ve got dark leather sofas (yes I know! I hate them too)
What colour goes well with brown leather without looking too dark?

TIA

Green.

Duck egg blue goes really well with dark brown. Lots of colours do. What sort of mood are you aiming for? Fresh/Scandinavian or Warm/Mediterranean?

Farrow and balls french Grey, it’s like a grey toned green.

Are you sure you want the room predominantly white though? That’s quite a harsh contrast with dark brown sofas..

I love a scandi look. Very white and lots of plants but still with lots of natural wood

Sofas arnt forever - I’ll be replacing them with a lighter fabric eventually.

Green would definitely go with sofas thank you.

A paler honey brown or Oxford stone shade?
