What color to paint wainscoting?

We are painting our living/dining room. The overall theme of the house will be harlem renaissance meets palm beach chic. The major color scheme will have chocolate brown/gray//bronze with punches of orange/red/purple/sage through out the house. I want a warm, sultry and sensuous feeling that flows beginning with our living/dining room. This a great room with 2 windows at one end of the room that faces a large window at the other end. We will also be replacing the door that leads to the deck with a single french door. There will be plenty of light in the room. The room also has a stone fireplace. I am at a dilema as to what color to put on the wall. We have wainscoting (it will have to stay). What color should I paint the wall? I do not want white wainscoting. I have that now and hate it. Our floors will be a dark walnut wood (possibly bamboo) floor. I am all for dark and dramatic. This room has to sing since we will be putting on the market in the next two years and it will be a feature room in the house. What color to paint wainscoting?
Paint the wainscoting a dark walnut brown. Make sure you pick a rich color that gives a wood feel. It will complement the color scheme you are talking about and look expensive. It will also not compete for attention from the beautiful wood floors you are adding. What color to paint wainscoting?
