play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family %26amp; color name, the ';painted'; rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think a color like ';tower tan'; (# 7704) would be perfect.Need advice on what color to paint dark living room with brown-grey fieldstone fireplace taking up one wall?
The obvious color would be an ivory or warm white. If you would like a little more color, but still keeping it light an option would be a very light sage green. Sherwin William's has a color called ';Drop Leaf'; which I think will look very nice in your living room. If you are interested in a very pale yellow, then a color called ';Chamomile'; would be an option. Is blue a color you like? This is an extremely light light blue called ';Timid Blue';. You can check these suggestions out and more by going to the Sherwin William's web site and then clicking on ';Color Your World';. It takes you to the color visualizer section, where you can choose a room and ';paint it';. Good luck!!!
I would suggest you take a digital snapshot of the wall next to the fireplace, go to an editing program and play with different tones on the computer - if you don't have that choice, take a regular snapshot, go to one of those stores where you can do an 8 x 10 shot, print it out and go to the paint store to pick some samples and put it together to see which one works best. I think if you want to brigthen up the room, you could go to a mix of white with a baby blue / light purple or a light green with a hint of yellow (you dont' want it to look like a hospital or swiming pool, but probably dont' want to go too white (unless you want a little twist and do a room that looks like a ';black and white'; movie (with whites, grays and blacks).
beige or suede faux painting, as long as it's light in color.
