Why does pewter colored furniture look green?

12 years ago
There is a bed online that I would like to purchase (Hillsdale Trieste Fabric Bed) and the color I want is Pewter. Depending on the website, the picture varies from a very dark looking gray/almost black to light gray/silver. Some reviewers have commented that in person the color is olive green and/or the velvety material has a green hue. While others say it is definitely pewter/dark gray. I am not a decorating expert but am assuming that lighting and/or the color of paint in the room plays a role in what colors are brought out of the fabric. I would like to know the best lighting and wall color for bring out the grays in Pewter vs green. The colors I am using in the room are black, gray and white.

Thank you!
