As someone with a 1930s house with lilac and baby pink tile and white fixtures...I can tell you that when theoretically colors go together....in reality things can look pretty busy pretty quickly in these small bathrooms.

I like your permanent fixture choices very much. (I am jealous)

If that were my space, I would do glacier blue on the walls, white on ceilings and trim, and the sea life of similar slate color OR a glossy creamy color, on the wood cabinets.

Can you paint 1 thing at a time and then decide on the next?

Juliekcmo, thanks, I like the Glacier Blue too, but darn that is the one blue on my swatch board above that I don't have in real life. I was thinking of buying a sample. The last thing I want is for this to get busy:) I could wait for some things to be installed before the painting. But I wanted the sink base painted in the shop. The other cabinets could wait.

What does this sound like?:

First Color: I am going to paint the ceiling & trim that same as the upper walls, one of the very light bluish to periwinkle gray colors mentioned above.

Second Color: There will be a lot of white with the tile.

Third Color: A light tone for the Sink base, dark tone for the tall standing cab that is on the same color card. I am leaning to the Sea Life for the dark, so that means the sink would be Misty Memories.

Fourth Color Idea: To paint the 2 other built-in's, (the one at the tub, and to the right of sink) in another light grayish color.

Misty Memories - walls & ceiling,

Sea Life base of sink & built in beside sink.

Amethyst shadow or Irises built in beside tub.

You could also ask them to darken what color you choose for the wall and use that to paint the sink and built in beside the sink.

I would keep the sink and built in beside the sink the same color and paint the built in that 'stands alone' the pop of color. And if you consider that option I keep going back to that Midnight Navy for the pop of color piece.

Fox, that navy is very nice isn't it.

Misty Memories and Sea life are on the same card.

The Irises and Amathyst are on the same card as Violet Mist, this group is a little more periwinkle - grayed down.

In my head, and on my painted sample boards, I like Misty Memories with the Violet Mist but they almost read the same when you squint your eyes. Misty is more lavender and Violet Mist is more bluish.

Something that I forgot to do in my drawings was to put a black floor in. That may be a game changer. I typically like contrast but in this bath I was trying for foggy blendy colors, while adding variety amongst the grayed blues and lavenders in the color wheel.

Here is my drawing with a black slate floor:
