What color should one paint the walls of a yellow and green tiled bathroom?

I am remodelling a 1955 house with green and yellow ceramic tile in the bathroom. The sink, tub and toilet are also green like the tile. the tile goes up the wall about 4.5 feet. Above the tile, it is plastered all the way to the ceiling, and it is a HIGH ceiling. I want to paint the plaster- is white the only color that would look okay? Or if off-white, what color of off-white would be okay?What color should one paint the walls of a yellow and green tiled bathroom?
A warm tan would look great. Check out a color called ';fresco cream'; by sherwin williams:

White about a very pale pink. Cream
I'd go with a pale grey/sage
You could use white or you could use a soft, buttery shade of yellow or a pale celery or sage green. Keep the colors soft to avoid making it too garish.





Alaskan Mist or Cool Yellow from the attachment may work.

Off white or cream.
Off white sounds good, but you didn't really give a good description of what theme it has. If it looks a little romantic or Itain than You might want to go with darker colors. But if it's a sunflower theme than bright colors. Go to the Home Depot and compare there color samples and look at interior decorated example rooms in there color sceam books. A little brick red doesn't sound bad or maybe the walls could have a rag off effect. A big vase and tan rag off walls with a brick red trimed dorway and an elegant brick red accented curtain. A giant vase and a couple of palms would look great. Sorry if that's a little more than asked for and an african looking mirror. Ragging off is realy easy and definitly will give the room color.
A yellow hued creamy off-white. That would keep the integrity of the time period and keep it warm and interesting.
a purpley-red color. Like a deep magenta-plum color. Seems scarey at first but it compliments the tile colors and it's a great color for skin.
Try a cream - [ white with yellow in it ] or an ivory [ white with beige in it ].


Or, you could do a paler shade of the yellow [ banana, pear ]or green [ honeydew or celery ].
White is a safe choice. Off-white might be OK, but you really need to be much more specific. You might want to hire an artist or color consultant.
The safe answers here w/o seeing the tone of the colors would be a white (or any cream color) or a different tone (lighter or darker) of either yellow or green. The white would contrast more with the tile work and will brighten the room. It's hard to decipher what would be the highlight of the room w/o know the light content. Using a yellow or green would create a monotone effect, it would be calmer, less contrast between the colors of the room. The tile would pop the color of the tile the is of the opposing color of the wall. You can always try to match the colors using paints swatches and inquire at your local paint shop or hardware store for advice. Good luck.
