Paint color crisis!!!!!!!!

16 years ago

I have an old chicago brick fireplace which has orange- gold, dark brown, soft gray and taupe bricks. From a distance the fireplace looks taupe but up close you can see the orange-gold tones also. I have had great difficulty finding a paint color that I like that doesn't clash with the fireplace. I had chosen Benjamin Moore Fairway Oaks and Alpaca for a warm look but I'm seeing flesh tones at times. YUK! The painters are supposed to start day after tomorrow! HELP! Has anyone used Fairway Oaks or Alpaca? Does anyone have old chicago bricks and if so what paint colors did you use next to it? I just want a warm, soft and inviting room that isn't boring or too dark. Thanks to all!
