Why do you want to change the coor of the background you already have? You have already made excellent color and temperature decisions based on the cooler gray background - to change to a warm temperature background now will cause you to have to do a lot of repainting in the skin tones.

Before my following answers sound dumb and naive, that's because they probably are. The gray that's there now is the Belgium Mist from Wallis, and I never gave thought to having a gray background for this piece. Now I've never been good at color, but I thought the ochre background would work well with the purple sweater.
The verticle column touching her face will be darker than the other planes and have reflected cool colors that will be similar to the reflected colors on the back of her hair.
I wish I had my sketch to post to demonstrate what I planned. It looked good to me, but like I said before, I've always been weak with color. I have it at work, so I'll try posting it tomorrow night or Tuesday morning. Thanks for the advice.
Thanks again to everyone.
