[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I just went through this. White is basically the hardest paint choice because they all have some pigment giving them undertones, and the lighting and other things in the room heavily impact how they look. I can’t recommend a white because how it looks in my living room has almost nothing to do with how it will look in your bathroom. I did none sample patches of different whites before choosing one, and when you looked at them next to each other, it was like “oh that one is pink, that one is green, these three look dull gray, this one looks to bright white, this one works.” There is just no telling.

You might try to color match the white in the background of the wallpaper. That’s where I would start. But also ask the paint store to pull a couple whites with similar profiles, or to identify their most popular whites for you, and them put up sample patches on the wall with a piece of the wallpaper right next to it (make sure your lighting is already installed, too, this is extra important for bathrooms).
