Bathroom colour ideas for a slightly Victorian look with chrome fittings?

I am driving myself insane with my inability to make a decision!

I thought blue but then went to B&Q and spiralled with the spectrum of choice within 'blue' 🤣

Its not a huge bathroom but bigger than the little box/galley one i had previously.

Shower within the bath with a glass screen. Normal pedestal sink
Large built in cupboard (previously housed the boiler) to hide all the towels and toiletries.

I have standard white square tiles around the bath which I cannot change but I could add a tiled backplash to the sink with my choice of tiles.

I am drawn to a sort of older style. Verging on Victorian.

I have a lot of green in my house already so even though I like the green bathrooms I see I don't know if I've flogged that horse enough elsewhere.

I will be
Repainting
New flooring
New bath panels
Painting all wood work/doors.

I LOVE gold/brass but I cannot really switch over to that because I have a built in silver shower which I cannot change, so brass/ aged everything else with a chrome shower would just look odd?

So i need to work with chrome taps/hardware, though I could swap them out for different styles of chrome taps.

Any ideas, inspo please?

I also keep coming back to this sort of colour. But I don't even know what it is

I was going to say dark Victorian green or pink.If you have kids, flooring vinyl, Victorian design with some of the pink, like in your picture. Dark wood bath panel.

I'd say that colour is mulberry. I think dulux do a paint called Mulberry bush or mulberry something 🤔

ETA: It's called Mulberry Burst

I’m just finishing my Victorian / Edwardian bathroom now - I’ve gone for a very deep forest green panelling with a botanical wallpaper on top, but all brass / gold fittings. What about a deep sort of teal? I found a gorgeous shade that I was tempted by - Tiru by Graham and Brown, which I think would look lovely with chrome. I also like your colour - a sort of plum? Think deep, earthy jewel tones!

I got AI to do a basic mock up, I do like it and I actually already have a 5 litre tub of this valspar paint unused but not sure if it feels bathroomish.

I love it but deep plum/pink is probably my favourite colour.

I do like the blue @BakeItTilIMakeIt has suggested.

I love the colour that you've used in your mock-up. It's exactly the colour that came to mind when I read your post.
