In Pinterest, Color-Corrective, beautiful smokey green, gray, and teals which I think would go well. Perhaps paint top of wall one color, bottom, another. (Just another Canadian opinion)
More and more detailed photographs would help in giving advice. What I have learned from professional decorators, in choosing paint colors, is to buy sample size cans and paint 4' swaths of the chosen colors on the walls and observe them in all kind of light (day, night etc) Color is always a personal choice and one you have already made in your furnishings and surfaces.
Did you take the picture at night? Very dark. Add some lighting.
Try 5004-5A Blowing bubbles or HCSW1267 from Lowes, I think they are Sherwin Williams but not sure. Have used both and a good with darker wood tones. Instead of painting in walls, paint 2 coats of sample colors (all the way to the edges) on large poster board. This way you can move it around the room at different times of the day AND night to see how it looks on each wall. Also, tape or pin it next to trim to see how well it matches or contrasts. I once painted a room with blue carpet a beautiful yellow... that turned green during certain times of the day! Now I check the cookie on all the walls before painting
Oops, color! Cookies afterwards
So, I'm not Canadian but I'm not far off. The thing is how often do you want to paint your house. For me, not so much. I choose colors that are not trendy and look good on my big old house. I get lots of complements on the color of my house too. So, My advise is stay away from the trends and be timeless.
Revere Grey It is a Sherwin Williams color but is beautiful. It will brighten the room but not make is stark white
