Bathroom paint, help!

Hi, I am hoping to get some inspiration / support / advice about options for a bathroom paint. We are at the point of picking a paint colour for the top half of our bathroom (the bottom half is tiled) and the builder is now waiting for us to pick! We have gone for a warm limestone cream type tile, brass fixtures. I’d like something bright and light but also neutral and not yellow or too browny. I like Dimity by F and Band I’ve tried Little Greene Portland Stone Pale, I just can’t decide. What would look best? Any advice? Chat GPT pics to show my moodboard and a real life pic of the tiling they’ve done so far (I can’t work out how to add a photo, I will try underneath my original post). Any advice much appreciated!

newly fitted tile pic and my original chat gpt created moodboard for what I had in mind. Also worth noting it is a dark room, north facing!

Not sure if either Dimity or Portland Stone Pale would work - Dimity has a pink undertone and Portland Stone Pale looks a bit greenish (although they say it's grey-based.)

From the colour of your tiles on my screen, it looks like you need something with a taupe undertone. Are you near a decorating centre or a DIY place?

My mate has just painted her bathroom mustard. Looks bloody fantastic!

Mustard sounds fun but not for me. I want calm, relaxing etc. @ShrubRosedo you have any suggestions? Very helpful comments; thank you. What about Portland Stone Light?

perhaps skimming stone?

I can’t see what you would paint , as it’s all tile? I’d stay with white against those tiles. Eg F and B All White, modern emulsion.

Sorry the chat image is actually half tiles and half an imaginary paint, but it’s extremely similar and blends in. We don’t want that vibe. Sorry if I haven’t made any sense.

@carbibarbie What about Portland Stone Light?

On my screen, it looks good with your tiles.

I like Skimming Stone, but I think it's just that bit too bright for the tile colour.

Have a look at COAT’s “Pampas” or “Duvet Day”.

I painted my living room on monday bathroom wensday and the kitchen the on friday all the same colour white.

Got my room and the hallway left to do the same colour.
I mean white goes with anything.

My tiles look same as yours and I have similar fittings. Went for Sail White by Crown it looks really good together
