Go with a non-yellow shade - something in the grey or bluish-white, or even a greenish-white color. As Monk always said, "you'll thank me for that later."

I wouldn’t lead someone astray with such a general statement. It really depends on the light exposure in the room. And personal preference of course. If a room has a northern exposure the colors tans, beiges can look beautiful. i.e. SW natural tan really enhances the room and has a subtle green undertone, no yellow and it has a high LRV which indicates how much light it reflects. The higher the value the more it reflects. Pearly white is another example and I’m sure there are more.
