or should I think of painting the fireplace first and then think of colors? Just don't want to settle for white or beige walls.....

I'd try some variation of gold or mocha with that, depending on how much and what kind of light you get in the room. (Mocha with lots of sun and lamps, gold if not.)
Or you can try this.

sounds like strong colors so I'd go with a softer one for the walls. if the furniture and carpet are solid colors why don't you try a cinnamon-type shade and use a rag-on technique (using a rag and rolling it along the paint. That'll add some jazz to your design and the room will seem larger. Whatever you decide I hope it turns out great. (Home Depot or Lowes can better explain that if you look on their web site) The paint expert at Home Depot was a lot of help with ideas for us when we bought a home. Good luck!

Please do not paint the brick fireplace. It's one of the biggest mistakes people make. A cinnamon color would probably do well in the room.

mocha or caramel walls. leave the fireplace as it is...sounds like you have plenty of color already.

Taupe would go good with the colours you've mentioned.
