Microfiber because we need something easy to clean. We are "loungers."

We've just moved into a new condo - yay - and are starting to decorate. First up is the living room, specifically a new sectional couch.

We have light grayish-taupe walls with darker greyish-taupe trim (in some light it kind of looks olive). We have dark wood accent furniture and cherry hardwood floors. We are thinking about a Room and Board "York" sectional (http://www.roomandboard.com/rnb/collection.do?method=get&id=377602&cat=27) in a light taupe microfiber ("Arctic Desmond"). Another thought was a west elm walton sectional in either the natural or brown color (http://www.westelm.com/online/store/ProductDisplay?partNumber=WE-PRODf467&storeId=17001&catalogId=17002&viewSetCode=E&langId=-1&cmsrc=IMC1220). Before we take the plunge and order I wanted to get some input from AT on fabric color.

Is the natural/taupe or brown a good choice for this room, or are there other colors we should think about instead? We are a little concerned about the natural blending into the walls, but we also want to stay away from anything too dark that will make the room seem smaller (it's already pretty small).

Thanks, everyone, for your help!
