What paint color with this 70's tile?

8 years ago

We decided to make a few cosmetic updates that will last a couple of years before a total gut remodel of our MBA. We're going to replace the toilet and counter (DIY laminate), take down the wallpaper, and replace the mirror and vanity light.

The room is tiled halfway up the wall with pinky-brown tile. I found an old box of it in the attic today; the color is fawn beige. Here's a pic I found online:

Everything is that color now... Trim, vanity, toilet, tub, door. We're going to pain trim and door Simply White, and I'm thinking of painting the vanity White Dove, which is a near-exact match for the floor tile.

I want to downplay the pink color. What shades would you look at for this tile? Should we stick with white (either Simply White or White Dove)?
