The color person at the paint store has an excellent solution: white tile with a color trim.

Sweet tub. :) I have that or a similar color--had to replace the toilet and the sink is probably beyond saving so I'm facing a similar problem.

You can always get a close-matched pinkish toilet seat to make your white toilet play better with the tub.

White tile with a complementary accent is safe.

Do you want to stay 1950s-ish? Or treat it like a regular bathroom with a tan tub?

You could have a lot of fun with Talavera or patterned Moroccan tiles.

Glass mosaics (as large chunks of an entire wall, not as a cheesy stripe) would look ever-so-fantastic with that tub. I like bright colors and would probably do something like this paired with a crisp white on the floor:

I think you're going to need a creamy white instead of a white-white, but I applaud your desire to make lemons out of lemonade. :-) Also, not sure about blue going with it. I think green would be more complementary. But just white with it could be very attractive.

Oooh! so beautiful, a cinderella tub! i am absolutely envious! while i dont have the same exact color, i have AS persian brown, the next light color peachy brown. i went with aqua and corals. i had to find the sink and toilet, and the sink legs, but i finally did! the wall paint is glidden peaceful night and i painted the ceiling too.

Kohler still sells toilets and sinks that are not white.

I would consider looking at Biscuit, Almond and Sandbar toilets and sinks.

These are much lighter than your tub but they may be a better complement than bright white.

Also look at Daltile Urban Putty or Elemental Tan tile or Biscuit or Almond tile the last two of which should coordinate with the Kohler fixtures (they used to, I have a color matched Kohler-Daltile bathroom).

Or you could tile all in Daltile Keystones in Almond Blend, Beach Blend, Elemental Tan Speckle, or Marble D325.

It may be quite possible to do a full on vintage style bathroom with coordinating, if not matching fixtures and tile, if you want to.

If not I would probably do all bright white except for the bathtub, and then possibly look for a wallpaper.

Personally I would try to work out the vintage style bathroom first, and then do the all white as a fall-back.

Hello everyone. It has been 3 months since I last provided an update because I had to stop everything to care for my father who passed away about 6 weeks ago. I am back on track and the update is as follows.

I learned that the color of the tub is actually Persian Brown like Stephanie has and I was only going in circles trying to figure that out because the Porc-a-fix people had the wrong color in their bottles of touch up paint that I had purchased to fix some damage.

I took the advice of someone on another thread to go with black and white and here is where I am so far. After it is all tiled and the cabinet goes in, my next advice question will be what color to paint (or a wallpaper that won't fight with the greek key accent tile?) the walls above the wainscotting. I painted my vanity black and will get a quartz countertop that looks like black marble and the fixtures will be polished gold with black handles.
