What color should I paint the walls if my couches are dark purple?

I recently got dark purple velvet modern looking couches for my living room. I currently have beige and red paint but I'm painting the rest of the house and I'm thinking of doing this room too. I have an abstract looking painting hanging here, black, red and purple splashes sort of.

What color would look good? The rest of my house has a golden color scheme more or less... light tones.

AQUA!!!!!!!
BRIGHT ORANGE!!!
No seriously, a beige/cream with gold flecks would be safer.

a very light yellow would work with everything you have going on...BM's Cameo White maybe

Blue or blue with lines of splattered black like someone took a wet brush and waved it around
