Help me pick out colors for our master bedroom

We have a modern style two-tiered ceiling, chocolate tiled fireplace, and the only furniture we brought from our old house are our West Elm Stria bed and dresser, as well as two Boerum night stands in cafe. It's a pretty open canvas.
Our thoughts are painting at least one and possibly both ceilings SW Turkish Coffee, as we did that color in our foyer tray ceiling and love it's drama/elegance. It also is a match for the fireplace tiles.
What colors would go well in this space? We don't like the current greenish accent wall - would you still make that an accent wall or paint the whole room one color.
Pardon the mess in the pics...the rest of the house is being painted and we also have a 4-month old, lol. We also haven't done light fixtures yet and are planning on installing somewhat minimalist blackout solar shades.

I love the ideas with using textures to make the space more interesting. We had actually talked about doing something like upholstered panels on the wall behind the bed similar to this [houzz=].

What do you all think about painting the ceilings dark? We love the look of hardwood ceilings, so kind of going for a similar effect. [houzz=]

Mark's blue looks good with the dark brown, especially with that bedding to tie it in, but painting that big of an area bright blue may not fit with the desert modern/contemporary look of the rest of the house, It could be in the mix for a smaller pop of color, though. We're also big fans of reds as color pops.everdebz
