I would go with white walls. Maybe add some ruby red towels to back up your pink towels and warm up the space.Find a multi-color accent picture or wall hanging with pink, ruby, some emerald green in it. That should brighten and warm your space and give you the light and flexibility of the white walls.
I also think light blush pink walls would be pretty with your pink towels backed by blue ones in the same tonal range. Then your multi-color pic(s) or wall hanging would just need to have pink, blue and some other brighter color (yellow, green) to give your bath a bright focal point and a little lift. The blush pink color usually makes your skin look good!
Thanks for all the suggestions. My bedroom walls are a warm off white, not yellow, The walls were yellow before, not now. I am thinking of painting the bathroom the same color; at least they won't be green any more. And I have lots of that paint left. I also have a sample of a light pink. I wanted Behr "shea". But they don't make it in a sample size, so it is an approximate of shea. I might try a portion of the wall to see, or buy a small can of the real shea and see. Or the other pink someone suggested above.
I'm really not overthinking it. I just asked what y'all thought about it because I am new to this painting and decorating thing. It's over twenty-five years since I have been in a position to do it. And 25 years ago when I had a home, I also had a husband. Now I am deciding for myself.
The most useful bit of information I have gotten is that the tile has a pinkish tone; I had not noticed that, nor did the previous owner as it happens. She just liked them and put them down. This was a weekend home for her and she didn't live with the bathroom the way I am doing now. She did know though that the walls didn't go at all after the tile went down, but again wasn't motivated to redo them.
The other useful idea is to buy multiple shower curtains, but I seldom see any shower curtains i like. I spent hours looking for one for my apartment before I found the one I have now. I know that it doesn't go with the current bathroom colors, though, and I would like it all to match. So we'll see what happens when I paint the walls Palais White, like the bedroom.
I'll come back and post photos when it is all done.
Congrats on getting to decorate your own home by yourself! Can reflect you and no one else.
Actually I rather like your existing shower curtain too - hopefully you can put a liner in and then the shower curtain outside the tub and it will be long enough (again hopefully) to cover the tub color. Then, with your whitish walls and some awesome ruby red towels to layer over your pink ones, it will be a wonderful bathroom! Yes, photos please!
