What color should I paint?

My townhouse is SMALL (900 sq ft). It's the first house my husband and I bought. I'm a senior interior design major in college, but I'm having a rough time with my own living room. =/ When you walk into my living room, the stairs are directly behind the door. The living space is to the right. We have a double window that is east facing, so we get direct sunlight from sunrise till 2pm. It's 12x12. Currently, we have a beige microfiber couch, the walls are painted almost robin's egg blue (the paint turned out wrong... it was supposed to have a gray-ish tint to it and look clean and open). Our doors and trim are white. And we just bought an expensive area rug that is chocolate brown with gray-blue, tan, and sage green palm leaves. I'm looking at getting a new sectional sofa for the extra seating: http://schewels.com/online-showroom.html?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=351&category_id=6 Or http://schewels.com/online-showroom.html?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=95&category_id=6 Or http://schewels.com/online-showroom.html?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=339&category_id=6 What color should I paint? I was thinking of painting sage green, but with the first couch, I don't want to have too much green. Ideas??
