Bathroom...what colour to go for????

Howdy folks,
Looking for a few tips on the aformentioned.
We've just tiled our bathroom and have done a 2' mosaic splashback around the bath and a mosaic column from floor to ceiling behind the basin. Tiles have a similar appearance to these lads .......

The floor tiles are a titanium effect tile which has a dark brown almost black hue. I will be painting over the existing wall colour which is cream. The tiles stand out too much with cream...I'm looking for more of a blend.
What's the standard practise?...should i be picking the wall colour from one the the mosaic shades or what?

I'm thinking of going for a nice choc brown but wonder if it will make the bathroom appear smaller.

Maybe a cream or a coffe color. Take the lightest color in the mosaic and use that??

Good luck

I stood in the bathroom and started to feel a tad claustrophobic (did i spell that correctly?

) It's quite a large bathroom but the dark paint gave it a diminutive illusion. Anyways i promptly went and seeked out a nice coffee colour...It's looking great already. Cheers m8
