I'd be grateful for suggestions on colors for my small bathroom. I am thinking light is better than dark to open the space up. Right now the walls are lime green. The floor is beige tile, installed after the walls were painted. Beige and green don't match very well, although they are not horrible. The main thing is the green makes my face look a weird color in the mirror when I am putting on makeup, and it also doesn't look very nice in natural light. My towels are all pink. I could replace them, but I really like them. See pic.
So a color to go with pink towels and a beige tiled floor is what I am looking for. This is the master bathroom and the walls in the master bedroom, which to be yellow, are a neutral off-white color.

Thanks in advance.
Just my thoughts on it, we have beige tiles in our bathrooms too, and I''ve been thinking of painting the walls in a very light aqua color-or a color that's just to the bluish side of aqua. I really like the combination of aqua/blue with beige. I don't think your pink towels would scream against those colors either.
If the towel in the picture is the color of the towels you are speaking of you could go with blush color. Think like a very light rose' wine.
I actually have various shades of pink towels, so maybe white would be best.
I did find this link to be quite interesting; they suggest both pink and aqua (suggested by another poster above): The Best Colors to Paint a Small Bathroom With Little Light | Home Guides | SF Gate. But I want a warm color rather than a cool one, because I always feel cold – even in the summer!. So I will have to choose my white carefully.

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!

its not that green doesnt go with beige, your green is the wrong green.
Im thinking more of a moss green.
But like others said the rose / blush color would look nice also.
The floor is very pretty.
Beige shouldnt be a problem to match, most everything goes with it.
You are dealing with two different beige undertones. Your tub and enclosure has gold undertones, but your floor has pink undertones.
The biggest misnomer is that beige goes with everything. What goes best with any given beige depends on the undertones and yours are fighting each other.
Also your beiges are sort of muted dusty tones. Don't put any clear bright color on the walls because it will make the tub and floors look dirty, which the clear bright green is already doing. White paint will also make them look dirty.
I would do a muted turquoise or muted green that leans more towards blue-green.
To deal with the beiges, look up capize shells. Even if you don't use a touch of the beach, just the coloring can help as inspiration...from a glowing white, but not stark, through a color range to pinks. Even a small touch of brown in some.
The coloring is the same as my two bathrooms. One is painted silvery blue and the other silvery green. Beige is good for going for a spa like feel that's warmer than white.
