With an oil-painting appearance, look at depicted brush marks and gradations of light and colour. Consider a close view together with the full composition. The painterly surface is represented within the image; the product is a print of the design.
Look first for a connection with an existing colour in the room. One repeated tone is often enough; lightness and contrast matter too. Compare the design with walls, furniture and textiles rather than an isolated colour sample.
Assess the complete design together with the detail view and the product options actually offered.
Visual approach provides a useful comparison: soft colour transitions, clear outlines and a photographic crop guide the eye differently. Explore further approaches in these collections: abstract designs, painterly imagery, watercolour designs, photographic subjects.
