Nursery Colors Question

Hey ladies, 

I need some input.  When we bought our house, the former owners painted all of the bedrooms the same color, a neutral tan color.  Since they were just painted less than a year ago and I actually like the color, I'm not repainting Baby Girl's room.  The wall color, trim and floor looks very similar to the picture below but the room is much smaller and doesn't have the fireplace and all that jazz.

So, what color combos would you suggest to do in there?  I want to include some pinkt, but not sure if I should go with a light pink, coral, etc.  I'd also like to add one other color like green or aqua.  I'm no Nate Berkus but I *think* the tan has some pink undertones so I'm not sure if any colors would clash.  Also, I'm not into themes.  Throw me any ideas you have :)

    These 3 have tan walls....
    Oh, I like the one on the far right with the light pink and white.  I didn't really consider that shade of pink but I like it!

    your tan does look "warm", so I think a coral, aqua, and green would look really pretty, kinda like a reef! :)

    See, I really wanted to do a coral, but wasn't sure if it would work or not!

    I think I'd lean more towards coral (or pink) and aqua versus green - I'm not sure the green would look great with that color combination and the walls...

    I also have tan walls (I think a shade lighter than yours) and I want to keep the nursery gender neutral. I'm also trying to work with a navy blue rocker/recliner we already have a yellow/gold wall art DH and I picked up as our first baby purchase when we first started TTC. I really don't want to paint as we painted a little over a year ago.If anyone has any ideas on this, I would really welcome them!!
    I would definitely work with the navy rocker.  If it is a girl, you can always add touches of pink or if its a boy, you do another shade of blue or go with navy and yellow.  I also think lighter blue and white stripes would look cute for a boy.
