Bathroom paint color advice

Anonymous
We're redoing our bathroom using the following tile:
shower: http://www.chesapeakeflooring.com/ceramic/alviano-collection-biancosand-0
floor: http://www.chesapeakeflooring.com/ceramic/woodtile-collection-acero

Vanity will be mahogany colored.

I'm a bit stumped as to what do do for the paint color- was originally thinking a yellow Sherwin Williams White Raisin but now I'm not so sure it goes with the cream shower tile. Any suggestions? Not sure if I should stick to something really basic (white or cream) or select something more colorful.

Could be wrong, but the tile seems to have a green undertone. White Raisin appears to be a butterscotch color. Personally, I don't think that they'd work together. If it were me, I'd look for a creamy white to match the tile. That's a classic look.

I think white would look great

Thanks- yeah, that's what I'm leaning towards now. We can always change up the paint color easily in a few years if we wanted. Right now I'm having a hard time envisioning what everything will look like together and I don't want to make a mistake and hate the color!

I think a cream color would be very nice, I think a color with a green undertone would also be very nice, like a light sage color. This would be a nice contrast with the red undertones of mahogany. My parents have a bathroom with those colors and I think it looks great. Someone previously posted on DCUM that having green in the bathroom makes your skin look bad but I have never noticed this.

Something like this might work, depending on the light in there. Tape up the paint chips on the wall.
