Help for a color challenged designer wannabe!

Hello dear friends.

As I've been mentioning over and over again thanks to my one track mind, I moved last week.
In my new wonderful apartment, I have a double room that stands for a lounge-living room and an office-library. They both have to be color coordinated, and I wanted to use in the lounge part a buttery beige, and in the library part a light milk coffee brown, so both the rooms would be warm and cozy and slightly seventy-ey. Nice new landlord bought the paint, but the brown turned out to be khaki brown, kind of what you could find in baby diapers, so that is not going onto my walls. Beige is fine, and I'm keeping it, but am thinking of using less of it than what I first planned.

Anyway, I went to the hardware store and found so many beautiful colors I now find myself to be stuck in indecisiveness. I like brown, but I like green too, and blue, and purple... I would honestly probably go for a deep red, but the only limitation I have with choosing a color is this: it has to fit with an orange carpet upholstered vintage round lounging chair I stole my mom.

So, question is this, what would you do? What color would you chose? What inspires you?

edit: after browsing samples, I now have narrowed the choice for a poll! (wish I could link the actual colors though)
reedit: possible to see the colors with the virtual fan deck.
