Hi there,
Listen girl, after redoing many OLD buildings that HAD the oddest and strangest color combo's around, here's my suggestions: take pic. of tile color or something that matches close enough(remember the amount of lighting you hv) like scarf, flower etc., then go to paint section and pass it over different colors & stains. I highly recom. a black or medium grey gloss or ebony stain. If you get oilbased, a BLK gloss rustoileum product is sooo hot and u will find great accessories in towels and fixtures say rose color w/ a few alternate blk hand or wash cloths. I had to use to old yellow tub &tile so painted mirror trim and small shelves blk gloss and found bombay elephant dish and soaps with alittle blk,lite yellow & deep burg. trim to accent..neighbors w/ same colors of tub etc. were blown away w/ my new look. Be open to the difference...love to assist!

Three colours is plenty for a small room like this, so I think you'd better pick one of the three you already have. Sounds like there's a lot of blue already, so I'd go with white as a first choice. Hard to keep looking clean if you have black dog hair floating all over the house like I do, but that's probably what will look best. A light colour on the floor also makes a room look surprisingly bigger. Pink would be my next choice, but you might have a challenge finding pink tiles because it had better be a very good match with the tub. A much darker blue could work if you get the right blue. Also consider something in a light wood grain colour like maple since wood goes with everything, or a light grey if you want a ceramic or ceramic look. Another thought is doing a checker pattern which suggests a 1950s feel which the colours you already have sound like. In that case, white with either blue or pink would be good, and the pink could be darker but don't buy any pink without taking a sample home to see how it looks.

Turquoise, vanilla, soft grey, cocoa, or match the tile. All these work great with that old fashioned pink tile. Another trick is to "pickle" the wood a softer shade of the pink. It is difficult to turn this shade of tile into a a guy's bathroom without going to a glossy (almost piano ebony) paint. Black is difficult to work with but most paint stores can advise you.

If you have enough light in there, you might consider a rich chocolate brown or even black. I'm recommending a neutral to anchor and tone down the brightness of the pink.. You could also replace or cut out the existing doors to accommodate glass panels (clear or occluded).

I've seen deep forest green go well with pink too.

KraftMaid has beautiful cabinetry colors. Hazelnut or Vanilla Bean are lovely shades of dark cream. Of course your project completion is contingent on your shade of pink.

If you can, go to Home Depot they will color match any dark shade of cream for you.

Also 'pewter' [Home Depot again], a warm shade of grey may be nice.

Whatever you choose, a warm complimentary color may be best.

silver or gold, of course, you could leave them the natural woody color, oak or cherry or something. If you wanted to stay with pink you could try a magenta or mahogany. Brown and white are too unoriginal and typical I think.

How big is your bathroom? If it's a fair size a pale lettuce green would be refreshing.
