It is hard to decide because, the wall in the tub/shower area is black tile all the way up. The previous renter painted it light purple and I hate it. Any suggestions?

Since black will coordinate with everything, go out and shop for shower curtains first....find one you like (if you have a glass shower door, then shop for towels.)
Go with colors that calm you....shocking red or purple or royal blue are too startling in a bathroom or bedroom. You want to stick toward calm colors.
If you're completely stumped; go to Target and stand in front of their wall of towels. Which colors draw your attention the most? Then go with that color and color family.

If you can't/ dont want to replace the tile, I would recommend a tan or mocha color. It is a more contemporary color combination and should warm the space a little to compensate for the cold black tile. Most any other color would make it look like Dracula's toilet.

black will go with everything. Maybe paint the walls a coral color and use tan or ivory accessories. But your best bet is to just go with your favorite color(s). That way when you walk into the room you'll see your favorite color and they will help detract from the black tiles.
And one good thing about paint...if you do paint with a color you're not crazy about, you can just choose another color and repaint it...an easy fix.
Good luck

something neutral... that way when you walk in you notice the black tile and not ugly walls.. also a lighter color will make it appear larger than what the bathroom is darker the color more closed in it feels

A tasteful and modern solution would be to stick to rust/taupe/tan/camel...that family. Some say that a room feels smaller when painted a dark colour...but I haven't found that to be true. And besides...who needs a big bathroom? Its all about feeling comfortable and cozy when you get out of the shower...and nothing to me is more comfortable and cozy that earth tones....

Wow, the possibilities are endless. You could really lighten it up with pink, like Sherwin Williams' "demure," and then use green accents - towels, tank set & such. If that's too feminine, then maybe a nice turquoise with peach accents.

White, just because I like the white/black look. Keep it something light. A dark color will make it look smaller than it is.
