Hi. I'd paint the dado rail and below in a darker shade of grey with a lighter shade on top. I wouldn't go too dark, maybe a light to medium on the bottom. If you wanted to add another colour for accessories try a deep turquoise or green. If you wanted more colour try a pale olive on the walls instead

I'd try a patterned purple and grey paper on the bottom and pull one of the lighter colours out of the paper to paint the top. I'd add some Grey accessories and a rug

I would definitely consider an off white colour as this will be a safe, and probably more attractive option with the colours your stated on your bed. However the sheen may not go well with the green and white laminate, if the chandelier go well with the decor of the room then I think going for a sheen finish could easily finish off the room! However if not it could really make your room have two contrasting style schemes. Off white would also look good, but if you like a bit a glam, then a sheen finish is a fantastic option! What other stuff do you have in your room? Is it possible to upload a picture as many 'minds' can make light work lol. We cannot really comment on adding things to brighten it up but I am sure there are designers on Houzz that can help. :)

The color will be fine, but put up samples of the sheen to make sure you're really on board. Among other things, the more sheen, the more obvious any flaws.
