Light grey and white bathroom - wall colour? (with photo)

We've completely renovated a small bathroom. The tiles are a very light grey and white linear style (pictured to show the light shade of grey), and floor tiles are square in a darker grey. The wall-hung vanity unit, toilet and bath are white.

We have two pretty small walls to paint (one that houses the heated towel rail) which are currently white, but it definitely feels as if some warmth is needed.

Any idea's please you stylish people? (any pictures to share would be fab!) I like green and it seems a natural choice for a bathroom but what kind of green - mossy? duck-egg? Or perhaps very bold dark teal or turquoise?

The bathroom paint ranges don't seem to have much choice (although of course we could have a colour mixed). Thanks!

Our walks are dulux polished pebble but the tiles are white so probably wouldn't give much contrast with your tiles. The other option I toyed with and kind of wish I'd chosen is duck egg blue but quite vibrant-crown do a bathroom paint called pale duck egg which would look good. Also, with your tiles I'd be really tempted to put a dusky/dirty greyish pink-my favourite would be f and b peignoir or a copy of or I think dulux do a good shade similar called dusted fondant....

Just realised my pics are irrelevant as tiles are white and walls grey-sorry!

I have white tiles with some mosaic, and a pale grey blind, with little greene canton if you like a bold teal. It makes me smile daily, as well as making me want to get rid of all the neutrals around the house. Sadly I hate painting too much to effect any changes.

Thanks @Bluesheep8 - I went and got a tester for the Crown pale duck egg on your recommendation. I like it, but Fiancé not so keen! We're now considering perhaps going a little bolder, similar to @mimiasovitch. It's only two small walls, but will set the mood for the whole room so want to get it right!

Thank you @mimiasovitch - I love that! Not sure if I can be as brave though; colour scares me......

we have a very pale blue (F&B skylight) in DS1's en suite. His tiles aren't grey but they are cararra marble so have greys running through the white. We've had lots of compliments on it.

We've got Dulux Mint Macaroon in our bathroom, white tiles and suite and chrome fittings.

I was scared of colour but it looks great.

Googled F&B skylight that looks great.

F&B Light Blue? It's a green/ Grey/ blue.

Go bold, if you hate it you can change it, but I bet you'll love it. A strong teal would look great.
