The chimney sticks to far out in the living room, and we are painting, what color should we paint it?

I have very light couches, with tan trim. I have a beautiful red red wine accent wall opposite the large wall of windows. I also have a troublesome chimney. It juts out from the wall, and protrudes into the small apartment living space. I am double rolling the other walls in the living room with tan colors to set off the couches and accent wall. Should I leave the chimney, and fireplace white and noticeable, paint parts of it in trim with the red from the accent wall, or just let it blend into the rest of the room with the double rolled tan? The other idea I was thinking, was maybe to double roll it with 2 lighter colors of tan, so that it wouldn't be as noticable? I have no idea what to do with it... Someone please help? - We are painting the whole place and we have hit our first snag. We have limited lighting in there as well, so we have to paint by day, and use uncovered lamps at night until we find some that we like. The beige carpet lightens it up some though.

I would double roll the tan on the chimney so it is a shade darker than the tan wall. I am afraid white might be to bold and stand out like a soar thumb. Maybe even go with a light brown. my bathroom is brown with tan tile and trim with baby blue accent, looks great! Good Luck! You will figure it out, it may take a couple days of looking at it but you will eventually figure out what color!The chimney sticks to far out in the living room, and we are painting, what color should we paint it?
try a nuance of red
How close is the red accent wall to the chimmney? If I were you instead of trying to cover it up make use of it and paint it the same red as the accent wall if they are not right next to each other and then use the chimmeny to display either pictures or wall hanging candles or something along those lines. You should have enough tan in the room to still lighten it up.
Leave it white- add some corner shelves at each side of the Chimmney with you accent colors, make it a center piece to hold plants- or artifacts.
