What color is neutral? I would get a paint chip the same color as my couches and take it to the paint store and have the paint man show you the matching lighter colors of paint to go with your sofas. By finding the chip to match the furniture he will be sure to give you a shade that will go perfectly. There will be many shades between the sofa and the furniture and they will all be the same green with more and more white added. Good luck
 
Olive is an earthy color so I think any earthy color would look good and you can blend the wall color by accessories. I would use more then the 2 though so it doesn't get boring.
 
A warm gold would be nice,or pastel peach,pastel yellow or a egg shell shade of white,then using a border to highlight the furniture colors
would work too...>=)
 
I have olive green sofas and we painted the room in a sort of "dijon mustard" gold. I made window coverings from a washed out tapestry design with the green and gold among a few other colors, then chose an oriental type rug with some of the colors and used a brown-red in the drapes and rug for toss pillows, throw and lampshades. A few vases to anchor color around the room and it looked amazing. You can do the same with almost any color combination. Choose some paint chips you like and play around with color combinations you're at home with. As long as you incorporate your green into other areas, you've pretty much got a blank canvas.
