I'm looking to buy throw pillows for my couch and want something that matches my couches. http://archupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/home_direct_furniture1.jpg
There's a picture of my sofa and loveseat. What color pillows match this?

Actually, just unbleached cotton/linen would be fine too.

I hope you have central air. I hate getting up from a leather couch in the summer with shorts on.

what color is the room?
if you wanna go safe stick with earth tones.
but depending on the room you could get away with some bright colored stuff.

I'm sure these posts would be absolutely hilarious, but unfortunately we can't see the fucking images.
No one likes an image leech.

That's only a two wolf pillow. That would look ridiculous with those couches. You need at least a 3 wolf pillow.

Your color scheme right now is a nice mellow neutral earth tone, if you count greens as an earth tone. A bright color will have an impact in this scheme. But then the pillows will become the focal point.
If you want them to just invite your eye toward the couches without taking away from how nice they are, go with a dark brown or dark gray, but more on the warm side. If they have a pattern, it should be a small pattern. A larger pattern can work, but then you are making the room about the pillows again.
I think a darker turquoise or blue-green or blue-purple would be a nice accent. A shaggy texture of some sort might make a nice contrast to the smooth shiny surface of the couches.
I also have no qualifications for interior design. I paint funny faces for a living.

Im sure they sell leather pillows, but they're probably expensive and nowhere near comfortable.
I would stick with black or charcoal fabric.
