Paint color to go with this recliner chair?

I hired a color specialist to recommend a color for my baby boy's nursery. She recommended Sherwin Williams zircon but on the wall it looks much too dark with a purple undertone. I hate it so I need help selecting another color. The only piece of furniture I own for the nursery currently is a grey tweed recliner chair (see picture), so the paint color should work with that chair. I think the chair is a "warm" grey? The room is medium size with average ceiling height, and gets a fair amount of light (faces northwest). Any suggestions?

Which loveseat/chair go better w/leather recliner?
Comments (3)No, I'm not 100% that we're going to hang the cowhide, but putting a lot of thought into it. I'd love to do a sectional, but the room is so oddly shaped with doors and such (ie. TV), that it just won't fit. I've put tape on the floors and everything. I like how we now have it, I'm just not good with filling in the blanks and putting fabrics together. I am getting more confident and learning a lot from everyone here :-)...See MoreColor Chairs to Go With a Black Leather Sofa?
Comments (4)Can't believe it. I Finally found some Palliser color swatches! (not my store but hopefully can get any of these) I would consider leather to match the sofa. In microfiber, I'm drawn to: Grade B Balance Midnight Grade C Graphite Grade C Aberdeen Russet (boldest) Grade C Cranage Shitake Grade C-Otis Black (pattern) Grade F-Allana Bone or Allana Storm (patterns) Of course the beige colors are safe. I'd love some opinions! The sale ends tomorrow. Here is a link that might be useful: Palliser Color Swatches...See MoreHelp with BM White paint color to go with BM Graytint 1611
Comments (1)Does anyone have a recommendation for a complementary white that goes with Graytint? All these work with Graytint just depends on which one you like best. Chantilly Lace BM OC-065 Ice Mist BM OC-067 Snow White BM OC-066 As far as gloss level, you could do the same as the walls, eggshell, or bump it up one level to satin (or whatever the next bump up in gloss level is called in the brand you want to buy)....See MoreNeed a recliner chair
Comments (20)Consider lumbar support. We have expensive recliner types. The gray leather is a Stickley. It’s a bulky mission chair. An armchair look with pegs that let you recline it. Notice that the back cushion is flat. Thick cushion but no lumbar support. Our new chair, the black leather is Stressless brand. Perfect lumbar support and very comfortable. Also stylish with it’s matching end table that actually goes right into the chair if desired. Made in Norway and doesn’t look like a recliner....See More
