chocolate brown walls and wood paneling on each side of the fireplace. I want to paint the fireplace and wood on each side and what colour do I paint the walls? The floor is hardwood.

Are there any other colors in the stone fireplace that you would consider?

Consider leaving fireplace grey and paint walls a light shade of grey. Leave the paneling as is till you see how you like the combination of fireplace and walls and then decide if you need to paint the paneling. Here is a site with a grey colored fireplace that might give you some ideas. http://www.bhg.com/decorating/decorating-photos/living-room/coastal-connection/#living-room/gray/white/
Does the fireplace above the mantle have the same planing? Picture would be of great help
If you want to stay neutral, pick a color that is a combination of both the gray and brown ("greige"). If you want contrast, pick a bright color in the "warm neutrals" family like salmon, tangerine or even buttercup yellow.
