My new bedroom, but need help with wall colour

Calling all you budding interior designers!

This is our new bed/bedding and decor scheme:


It's decorated with a soft mocha, grey and burnt orange scheme but the walls need re-painting and I'm stuck with a colour. Currently they are white, which is fine, but I do worry that it looks abit cold in daylight.

As you can see our bedroom in miniature (stupid crammed in new builds) though so whatever we go for has to be as open and light as possible.

Suggestions anyone? Or should we just stick with white?

How about a creamy colour, similar tones to the mocha but paler, if you know what I mean. The white does look fine though!

White is a bit stark. How about the burnt orange but paler, if you know what I mean!!!

Well that's what I was thinking but it's hard to find one that isn't essentially 'peach'. I hate peach. Actually, I don't even like orange but this idea just came to me and sort of fell into place.

That's a possibility, it would certainly be warmer than the white.

Now, is a light grey not just as dull/flat as white?
