Retro-green tile in bathroom - suggestions for wall colors? pics included

We want to paint these yellowy/cream walls a fresher color, but what would go well with the tile?
Thanks!

My first thought would be to replace the tile. That not on your list? If not, I like colors in the tan/beige range with green.

Ya, the green tile kind of limits your choices - yellows, greens, tans and whites.

tray ceiling paint colors?

hi. we want to paint our MBR walls and ceiling. walls will be a light yellow or tan. maybe a silly question, but how do I handle the ceiling and recessed tray? is the ceiling and tray all one color? if not, is the tray usually lighter or darker than the rest of the ceiling? and are they both lighter or darker than the walls themselves? or does the tray pick up the wall color or something? hopefully that makes sense. I am sure preference comes into play but what is more common (thinking resale)? cheers, thb

I have 2 rooms that were stained "brown" many years ago. Adjacent to leaded glass windows there has been condensation that has essentially "removed the color ", is the best way I know how to say it. I need to sand and restain these areas but am sure there are multiple shades of brown available. Any suggestions on the best way to do this? Thank you.
