This is super random, but I could use some advice! I just moved into my first office at work! Hooray! It needs to be repainted badly. What color would you chose?
One wall is brick (which will clearly not be painted), my furniture is a mishmash of black and ugly tan filing cabinets, a black desk and a wooden table. I would be so grateful for suggestions!

@merriment: what color brick?

Paint colors are so hard because they read so differently in each space but a friend of my is an interior designer and she said her #1, go-to, always looks good paint color is Ben Moore Brushed Aluminum. It is a tan/gray hybrid with slightly green undertones so it never looks blue or purple and will read more tan or gray depending on the surroundings but it's neutral and pale enough to not overwhelm any space.

@anagram: dark brownish, red brick
@crazydoglady: serious and professional, but I'm more concerned with making the haphazard furniture colors look more unified...magically...
@jennibenni: thanks! I'll get a sample! -
@merriment: That might be a tall order from paint.
In all seriousness, check out Edgecomb Gray by Benjamin Moore. It's a great light, fresh greige color. I would also add artwork/decor in unifying colors to give the space some cohesion and visual interest. Here's a pic I found of Edgecomb Gray in an office with dark furniture.
