What color to paint bathroom walls to go with blue fixtures?

I just purchased a house that has a blue sink, tub, and toilet in the bathroom. I don't have the money to possibly replace these with a more pleasing color right now, so what color shoudl I paint the walls to go with this? Or am I better off just going with white walls? Also, what color floor tiles should I go with?What color to paint bathroom walls to go with blue fixtures?
you should play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family %26amp; color name, the ';painted'; rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

A dark brown like ';sable'; (#6083) would look very modern with the blue.





As for the floor, either a white or beige tile would be fine.What color to paint bathroom walls to go with blue fixtures?
wow! that's a lot of blue. i would go with a blue blush. that's a barely noticeably blue. and then depending on shower curtains or other accessories i would do a border to match the accessories.
A good shade of white looks really good on walls with blue textures expecially light blue tiles on some parts of the walls.


this is what i mean by light blue tiles on walls:

Hope I helped !!
White would go nicely or some shade of off white. Pale green might also go well : ) So does baby yellow
Well I would just go with the white walls for now, you could probley go with a blue tile.
It depends on the size of the room %26amp; the shade of blue.You could try a real light brown or tan.The tile for the floor can be one that has several shades of tan %26amp; brown in it.One other thing you could check for,see if there's a Habitat for Humanity store in your area.You can get some really fantastic buys from them.Sinks,tubs,toilets,tiles,paint %26amp; a lot of other building materials.I've bought from them %26amp; have got items for about 1/3 the price of the other stores.They have a lot of new things,as well as used.The nice thing is the money you spend there goes to help other families that cann't afford to fix their home.I've bought 52'; ceiling fans for $12,5 gallon buckets of paint mixed to the color I needed for $30,furniture at savings of over $600,light fixtures for $10 and the list goes on.Check under ';habitat for humanity stores';. Good luck
