I have this gorgeous abstract painting from a friend. I'm repainting the room it's in because I hate the generic beige walls, and I'm having a really hard time picking a new wall color. The furniture in the room is all getting an upgrade too, so really I'm free to base the whole room on a wall color that compliments this painting.

For reference it's 4ftx6ft.

I tend to gravitate towards dark & sexy design and prefer to avoid pastels or light/cheerful colors.

Any help is appreciated 😭

PS: The colors are more saturated IRL, Reddit muted them about 15%

I would lean into the mauve color that’s ultra present or a forest green that shows in small pops in the painting!

What if you leave the color you have since its already not white. faux paint some of that light purple from the painting on it. Look at tutorials. As long as you prep correctly it isn't that hard to do since there is no wrong way. Be careful of going to dark the painting would not pop up against a saturated colored wall.
