I would look at the pattern as lights, mediums, and darks, and chose your colors from things already in the room, that you really like. Take a black and white picture of the pattern if you need to, to keep things straight. Substitute your room’s dark color for dark gray, medium light color for the light gray, an accent color for the aqua, and a bright pop of color for your orange areas. For the white areas, decide if your room works better with white, a cream color or a pale beige, or even any very pale color, or a shirting print that works with your colors. (or your wall color.)
In my living room, the dark gray color would be a deep sage green, with a lighter green sage as the light gray, the lightest color (white in the pattern) would be my barely pale green from the walls, my mediums would be a (where the aqua is) medium golden tan, and my sparkle color (orange color) would be dark cranberry.
I do hope this helps. Good luck at your class, and remember, your colors do not have to please anyone but you. It is your quilt.
