Re: your favorite paint colors - quick!
I just painted my master bath, guest bath and my master bedroom Greenbier beige and it is my new favorite color.
It is similar to Lenox Tan but it has a the slightest hint of green to it.

Re: your favorite paint colors - quick!
What colors are in your bathroom already? Cabinets, tile, sink, tub/toilet. What color family do you like? Yellows, reds, browns, blues, greys?
The tile, since it's permanent, has a big bearing on the paint color. You need to consider those colors when picking paint. If you have pink tiles, an orange paint won't look nice, but the same orange might look great with white tiles.

My hall bathroom has cream colored vanity and marble floor tiles with antique bronze fixtures. The paint color is BM Saybrook Sage.
My master bath has original (yuck!) light blue tiles in the shower, a dark wood and white vanity, white tile floor, and I painted it a latte/light coffee color (don't recall the name).
My half bath has vintage black and white floor tiles, white fixtures, and white wainscotting on the lower half of the walls, and I painted it a smoky lavender-tinged gray color - SW Ponder.

I love blues in bathrooms for some reason. Check out BM Yarmouth Blue (we have that in our guest bath) or BM Nantucket Fog.

With cream tiles, I would go with something in the brown family, especially with a white toilet.

I ended up picking Palladian Blue. I was scared to go too dark, because the bathroom is super small.

Beige is very light....
I actually prefer darker bathrooms. I don't need the "open"" feeling of a lighter color....
The most recent bathroom I designed is all grey, black and white. Grey floor and wall tile, grey walls, white tub, toilet and sink, and black vanity and medicine cabinet.

Re: your favorite paint colors - quick!
You should have seen it before - it was lavender! Way too girly for my DH. He said it looked like a teenage girl's bedroom color.  I loved it but I did such a terrible job doing it myself. I figured it'd be easy, since it was such a small area. I was wrong. And with hosting for the holidays and having tons of company, I need things to look decent. 
Your bathroom sounds nice, do u have a pic? I was tossing around the idea of grey, but I'm not ready to make the leap yet....maybe when I get to doing the master bedroom I will venture to grey.
here's what the palladian blue should look like:

Benjamin Moore - Dry Sage!
I went to 2 friends houses and loved the color on their walls. I asked them what it was and they both used the same one, so I tried it and love it in my home too!

Two of my FAV colors - we have Yarmouth Blue in our 1/2 bath! (And our dining room too LOL) and Nantucket Fog in our Living room
