Need help with home office paint.

Hi we recently bought a new house, and I need help with paint colors for my home office. I work from home everyday, so I'm in there 8-10hrs a day... Currently the room is painted sort of a khaki / camel. With an off white trim. Sort of creamy almond maybe. Pretty much hate it.

I'm replacing my desks with a big old library desk from 1873. Also having a woodworker commissioned to build console table. Something like you'd put behind a couch. But instead it will sit in front of the window and will be made with antique / reclaimed southern walnut.

I love hanging lots of photos and pictures. So I want a color that will pop stuff.

I'm thinking of using Valspar Mark Twain House Ombra Gray for the walls and a bright crisp white for the trim.

I actually wanted to pain the whole house Ombra gray but the wife finds it too dark. I'll post a pic of it on one of the walls we tested it on.

I'll also upload a pic of the desk, which will be delivered today.

Would this gray be a good choice?
