my bedspread i have now is red, yellow, and orange so i'm thinking of a cool color- maybe plum or green. I'm considering painting the walls a pale grey-green, but I am holding off on that until I find the comforter I want.

1] first find the bedding you like - in purple or green or blue orcombo or print of all. Get bedding, throw pillows to match
the colors or same print
2] pick your favorite light color to paint the walls
3] pick a dark color for the rug
4] pick a light for large accessories - chair, lamps, etc.
5] pick a bright for small accessories - vase, flowerpot, candle holder, ornaments, desk/dresser accessories
6] pick frames for artwork in similar color and material - oak/walnut, brass/chrome, colored enamel.

OH! Plum is one of my favorite, with a little green with look awesome. What if you painted the wall behind the bed Plum. and the rest of the room the pale green .
You could put a deeper plum and a deeper green pillows on the bed. I also like Beige, Brown and a pale blue, on the bedspread if its a pattern you could also have other colors as long as they are not too bold.

Maple compempory is pale. Your bedspread has too many colors, you should go for one strong color i.e. burgundy, or plum as you like. The walls greyish-green light is great. If you have night tables in maple, you're on.

I think if you want to go dark/cool a purple- based brown would look great. By that I mean a darker purple with more red than blue. I don't think blue would look good. I am having trouble picturing a green that would look good.
A gray green sounds beautiful on the walls though.

A dark forest green would be beatiful, but if you're going to paint a gray-green (check out "quietude" and "kind green" by Sherwin Williams), then I think I would recommend a medium-tone watery blue bedding set for a bit more interest.
Here's an example of what might look good:

If you want something dramatic, try black.
