Fantech with remote motors are excellent at venting and whisper-quiet. I have them in my master bathroom and it never gets steamy or humid.

I like these 3 best

The lower left in the first photo. The darker color makes the floor tile seem brighter and less dull. It would add more drama in a small bath.

I'm all for going neutral. Any of those could work. But how about….

My favorite color for a bathroom. Notice it looks good with the gray?

I used it in a small guest bathroom, no natural light.

I think you need to get estimates really, because not all painters are going to approach painting projects the same way.

There are painters who come in, put down some tarps and start painting and you get a coat of paint on everything, and there are painters who will do a lot of prep work before they start, and there are painters in between.

My sister has a loft space which is not huge but has 15 foot ceilings. She got one estimate that was a couple thousand dollars but their described scope of work was to just get in and out quickly. He had painted other units in the building, and maybe hers before she owned it, but it was a cheap paint job and it looked it. But apparently it was good enough for people because he stayed in business.

The medium priced painter who she chose did a certain amount of prep and took a few days and it was over $3000. And the paint job is okay. Better than average maybe but not great. But this painter comes highly recommended by a lot of people so it's good enough for most people. Good enough for my sister, she's very pleased.

The painter I use it would have been at least twice what the middle of the road painter was and he would have been there more than a week with another person. But he does a very good job.

So $2000, $3000+, and $6000+ to paint the same space. The work the most expensive painter does is at a level that many people would not find necessary or worth the expense.

Posting a pic of the space would get responses - I am using BM Bath and Spa which only comes in Matte but is most highly rated for baths

I think a master bath can be more personal and relaxing ..even interesting…using a little color on the walls..

We went with the wall color on all of our ceilings. We used sherwin Williams alabaster for the walls and ceilings and high reflective white for our trim. I’m very happy with the continuity of using the same color on the ceilings. We went with a flat finish. Our wall texture (including ceilings) is a light orange peel texture. I think if I had a smoother wall texture I would’ve opted for either an eggshell or satin finish instead.
We did go with the sherwin Williams version of their bathroom paint in our high humidity areas as well and it’s been great.

As far as the wood-look tile on the floor, just make sure it complements whatever flooring you have in the bedroom/hallway outside of the bathroom. You don't want fake wood next to real wood as it rarely works well.
