Gray...a gray that it a shade or two lighter than the gray in the wallpaper.





Here's a good website about picking paint colors

omg i LOVE damask style things but i would put a silver trim where the wall paper stops if your using it on the bottom of the wall, and if your using it on the top of the wall just make sure it has a nice transfer from wall paper to paint.





but i would deffinately tell the paint mixers to match the lighter shade of grey in the paper. or if you wanted make the paint even lighter than the light shade in the paper. for a silver look? thats awesome wall paper.
You're best bet is to stick to neutral colours such as soft creams and coffee colours, not only do they bring the newly painted room a fresh new look but they are also very forgiving in sense that if you have slight dents and bumbs in the walls you wont notice these defects as much.





I usually find that bold bright colours are very easy to get bored of or fed up with, you're better sticking with something less ';extreme'; as you'l find that you wont want to paint over it any time soon, therefor saving money.





Most new houses/buildings get painted with magnolia or another neutral colours because it brings out that ';fresh'; and ';new'; look, not only that but it also looks warm and inviting.





You really can't go wrong with neutral.
Raspberry, pink, coral, gray, or light aqua or purple would all work. It depends on the rest of the room. If it's in a bedroom, choose bedding that looks great with this paper first and then choose a wall color based on that.
Dear,





Pick a neutral shade in your wallpaper and you cannot miss.
