Help me pick an accent wall color

I am having a really hard time with this and need to pick a paint color. My house has an open floor plan with a vaulted ceiling over the main living space. We have a very light brown, almost a khaki color on the bottom half and a lighter cream color on the top half and ceiling. I have one wall in the dining room where we are ripping down paneling and need to pick a paint color.

I was thinking a rich chocolate brown but my dark wood china cabinet will be on that wall. Will my cabinet get lost in a brown wall? Other suggestions? Our house is mostly neutral colors and a traditional style. I have some burgundy table linens and curtains, but I don't know if that would be too much. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks! I'll have to consider that again. I just don't know if a wood cabinet, wood table, and wood floors would be too much with a brown wall.
