Master bedroom paint help

Hi, I'm a frequent lurker but first time poster. I'm stuck choosing a paint color to match this duvet for the master bedroom. I'm looking for a warm blue that skews gray rather than green. Master bath is SW Rainwashed. The rug will be beige and the floors and furniture are orange-toned wood. Trim and ceilings are white. I am considering SW Quietude but am worried it's too green for the bedding. My husband doesn't want the room to be too "cold" in the winter. Thanks for any help!

    This is from the Sherwin Williams app. Behr & Glidden also have one. Probably other paint co as well.

    Van Courtland Blue!

    Lol.

    I think something along the lines of a teal would be nice with that pattern.

    Ben Moore has a wonderful collection of colors, the Williamsburg Collection. In one window on your computer, put up the pick of your fabric. Open another window and pull up the Williamsburg palette. I just did this, and these colors look great next to your fabric:

    Galt Blue

    Mayo Teal

    Williamsburgy Wyth Blue

    Great duvet cover, right up my alley. I'd love it with SW Moody Blue. How can you pass with a great name like that. Also I think it would go with your Rainwashed quite nicely.

    So that your room is not overwhelmed by blue, always go with a blue that tends to have some gray in it. It is softer and more soothing. JMHO. So start with gray and go toward blue.

    Ha! At my old house I had Rainwashed in the bedroom and Quietude in the bath. Love both of those colors.

    I have BM nighttrain in my room, and it's beautiful and warm. Velvety blue/grey.

    Thanks for the ideas. I'm wondering if a color other than blue would be better with this colorful and busy duvet. Any suggestions?

    If it were mine, I would go for the salmon/coral looking color. But I'm a high activity person who likes noisy color, laughter and lovely music all together to bring about spontaneous happy.....but for the more subdued and a little less warm than coral but definitely not as cold as blue, I suggest BM Mojave Desert.

    There is a blue and some lovely other colors of which you could find pillows to raise or lower the temperature.

    Oooohhhh, if it doesn't have to be blue I'd love ravishing coral or romain both SW colors. Both iffy with Rainwashed but I am also a little wild and crazy. Things being matchypoo is not my thing. These would not be Martha Stewart approved.

    Because there's so much orange in the room already with the floors and furniture, I hesitate to go coral (which was my first idea). Would BM gossamer blue go with the bedding?

    I think I would go with a pretty creamy beige maybe with a tad of peach undertone for warmth and to pick up on the orangey color in the duvet. Otherwise it could be too much blue. Pretty duvet by the way!

    Maybe Blond Wood by Benjamin Moore.

    Is green really out, because with beige carpeting, that duvet, and orange-toned wood, a sage would be beautiful, and warm like autumn colors. MB Soft Fern. Antohe rooster is painting her br in that color, and her room has the same colors as yours. she emailed me the other day to say she is LOVING the soft fern.

    Benjamin Moore Hawthorne Yellow?
