I think of the 2, gray would be better. Pretty colors and to be honest I think I could see a darker wood color. Hope I am not confusing you too much:)

I would paint it a soft white like your sofa, or paint it a dark blue like your accent wall color.You could even paint one of each color. I think the cream might look muddy and the gray would blend in too much to your wall color.

Yes, exactly! I was afraid of that. Thanks for the suggestions!
