What color should I paint my walls so that it will complement my gold and burgundy furninture?

I have a burgundy leather nailhead sofa. I have an overstuffed chair of both burgundy and a rich gold in an aztec pattern. I’ll also be purchasing a nice rustic rocking chair. My curtains are also a rich gold with a muted pattern. Beige and cream tile is on the floor and I have a large burgundy braided rug that’s currently used with this set (not committed to the rug). The den, great room, and dining room are open to each other (beige carpeting in den and parts of great room).
Clearly I have a lot of beige, burgundy, and gold (in that order). What color should I paint the walls?

How do I go about changing the settings of my rings from gold to white gold?

Over the years I’ve aquired a lot of nice rings but I no longer wear yellow gold. I want to put the stones from my rings into white gold settings. Does anyone know who does this and how much it will cost me?

Why were gold silver and bronze chosen as the colors of rewards for the Olympic medals?

Please, no answers like it goes by value and demand with gold being the most wanted because it is the shiniest metallic pigment and silver being the next wanted because it is the second shiniest and bronze bring the third and last wanted. Is there a history? What is the history? Who chose these colors and why were they chosen? Please, don’t make your story or link long and endless with a lot of words. Make it as short as you can. I’m curious.
