If you are looking to make the room seem more open then I would suggest a cream color or a color in the cream family.
If you want the room to be a little more closed then something in the brown family.
If you want the walls to contrast the sofa them Burgundy always looks good.

It depends on what you want your room to feel like. If you want something outdoorsy, which from the sounds of your color choice you do, I'd try some lighters tones, try greys, sea foam, blues or sage greens. Tans and brown would be a better choice for a more warm and homey room. Or you can go the oposite direction and try pastels to make it pop and then make all your other furniture in white or blacks.
you should take a picture and then take a trip to your harware store and match it against paint samples. That's the easiest way to see what would look good with it.

Depends on what you are looking for! For Forest Green I would Use Deep Red and creams that would add dimention to your room....accent with oak. Its woodsy and country. Be careful if you go too dark it will close the room off, if you want you can color 2 walls dark and go lighter with a shade lighter on the other two walls

Defo use whites/creams NOT light browns or any other dark colour....they will not contrast well together. For a really cool contemporary look, try a light silver/grey paint on wall behind couch, you can reflect the colour of the couch on the oposite wall/walls. Remember....be creative, you don't have to stick to the same shade of green as the couch...try different shades for oposite walls and maybe use stensile paterns or creeping floral designs to tone down the grey. Try taking a pic of the couch and place it on different backgrounds using photoshop(mac & pc) or paintshop(pc)......go mad, and have fun doing it!

Tan,Browns, Burgandy Blue or try a shade or several shades lighter then the sofa. That's what we did. We got paint chip samples from the hardware store and chose the lighter shades on the chip that matched our sofa.

Try a neutral color like tan or khaki! I think that would look great- and if you end up re-doing your curtains, try to tie both the green, khaki and another color like blue or yellow into it. Good luck!

Cocoa, dark sand with a hint of yellow, deep red tones if you want darker walls.
Butter yellow, peach or creamy white if you want light colors.

You could go neutral, like a cream color, beige, etc.
Or you could go bold and go for a complimentary color like an orangy red.
