First - You can't trust that what I am seeing on my computer screen is what you see on your screen, so no one will be able to pick the perfect color for you.

To have the drapes stand out you need contrast.

So the darker the wall color the more your drapes will be highlighted.

The wall color you choose should work with (complement) the drapes, furniture and flooring.

Here are some examples - first image shows all the colors samples below

Mountain Road is probably my favorite, but anything from the cool side of the color wheel (Blue, green, Purple will contrast nicely and anything dark will contrast nicely with your curtains.
