We have this sofa (from DFS) and are trying to pick a new wall colour. Does anyone know what colour the walls are in the attached picture? Also, what colours would you recommend? I'm really struggling, DH wants it dark and cosy but this just seems a really bright sofa (and the room is south facing) so I'm completely stuck...

I should also say, the floor is wooden floorboards, stained a dark / mahogany colour...

It looks similar to Crown Mink I have in my living room, stairs and landing. It's a lovely warm colour without feeling too dark.

Egyptian Cotton from Dulux is similar but more grey/greige.

Dulux Mellow Mocha is lovely too. It’s a griege with a slight pinkiness which gives it depth.
You could go with a deep ochre colour too. That would be cosy.
