I painted my little bathroom pale pink, and then sponged opalescent over it, and stenciled floral bouquets in pastel colors at the top near the ceiling. It's beautiful, and I can change the look by using different colored towels. Everything goes.

In college I had the same color in my bathroom and I sed violet and a baby chick yellow with sage green accents. For some reason I found these colors always put me in a good mood when I went in there no matter what the mood was when I entered. I always had the yankee candle of lavender and lemon burning too it was wonderful.

Frankly, all those recommendations of gray dismay me. Gray sounds like a vile color for any room in a house. It's such a dead color.
I love mixing shades of purple, violet, lavender, periwinkle and so on, so a pastel purple or violet with maybe white would be my first thought.
A soft celery green is another.
If you want to brighten it up some, a baby yellow would do it. Or use a gold or amber for a more restful, but still light, look.
Someone mentioned combining the violet with a light blue. That would give it a soft, cool look and feel.

In our first house that was built in 1965 we had lavendar bathroom fixtures. Very pretty but hard to decorate around. I chose a soft, light grey and my relatives all called it battle ship grey! We finally were able to remodel and went to light beige fixtures. I also now stick to white appliances and fixtures. Easier to change color whenever you get tired of your choices.
