My half bath has light peach tile half way up the wall. What colour should I paint the walls and ceiling?

Personally, I would suggest a white ceiling and a light gray wall color.My half bath has light peach tile half way up the wall. What colour should I paint the walls and ceiling?
Don't try to use the tiles...get rid of them! Light peach is very outdated...if that is not an option mayybe try a taupe or beige colors...has to be something neutralMy half bath has light peach tile half way up the wall. What colour should I paint the walls and ceiling?
It depends on the look you want to achieve. If you want something soft and romantic, sage is a nice choice. If you want something bold and dramatic, opt for a contrasting color like amethyst. Get a variety of paint chips from the store and hold them up against the tile to eliminate icky mistakes. When you've narrowed it down to 2 - 3 options, tape them on the wall above the tile and look at them for a couple of days. It's amazing how doing that can help. Color looks diffrent in different lighting situations. Spending a couple of days with color chips is the best way to make the right choice for your home. One other thing... don't paint the wall ANY color that you wouldn't wear and feel great in. Good Luck and Have Fun!!!
Using a color wheel, blue and green shades are opposite. Instead of using the out-of-date mint green or sky blue, go with a sage shade.





The deeper sage will warm the room, instead of cooling it - making it peaceful and restful. Use care not to go too brown, but lean toward a darker blue-green tone.





PS - the light gray in an earlier post is also a great idea -- and you can go either end of the gray spectrum for either a cool tone or a warmer tone.
i have the same in my bathroom and just decorated too, i left ceiling white but did a textured style to it.and did the walls in a warm peach colour also got new flooring in stone colour.i like bathrooms to be warm colours.
I would go with a deep apricot on walls and a lighter shade of apricot on ceiling.





Buy towels/rugs and mats in shades of peach and apricot


and curtains with geo-shapes of same colors
