    I  would also go with a pinky colour. Terracotta or Copper Blush - as above - both would look lovely - just my opinion, though of course. They really seem to brighten things up.  Although I have to confess that my favourite colour is pink so I'm a tad biased!  :)

    Anything but grey, lol 😂

    Seriously, I'm a fan of bold, saturated colours - which of course you might not be, OP - so I'd pick something with a lot of depth/richness of tone.

    I like the terracotta suggestions made by other posters or possibly an earthy pink.

    We painted a room in a previous house a Sanderson burnt orange that looked amazing with the blue sofas we had at the time. I've just used Little Greene Heat on some bedside tables which is a similar deep orange colour. I love it as it is an unexpected eclectic pop in a room of serene greens 😁

    I'm also really into pinks at the moment - our front door is F&B Rangwali (opens into our Inchyra Blue - also F&B - hallway), we have a massive hand painted pink peacock mural in the main bedroom and our family bathroom is F&B Setting Plaster 😍

    So I think pink could also be a good shout....

    I was looking at something to go with my grey sofa and blue accents and i came across a ligh raspberry that looked really good. A lighter version of the copper blush @Chloe27895 posted and not as dramatic as terracotta.
