This depends entirely on the amount of light, the purpose of the room, the facing to the sun, and your existing furnishings. You could post few photos to give some guidance but if it is a new build I would suggest heading into a paint store for some sample pots. Once you have the sample pots - paint them onto some old wall paper and move them around and look at them in different lights. If it is for a whole house - think in terms of using half and double strengths to give continuity and some variation. Think about having some walls that could take a deeper tone to add interest to you scheme and also think about your floor coverings. If it is an older home - avoid stark whites and have a hint of your colour in white ceilings as it softens the effect. Generally I suggest avoiding too much yellow or cream and pink hues as these colours tend to date more quickly. Greys, beiges and hints of green are popular - current trends are blue greens and peach tones but will date. I am more familiar with Resene colours and particularly like Thorndon Cream and White Pointer in various strengths . Black White is particularly good for displaying art work and is very popular. You can have these colours put into Dulux paints. Have a search on Houzz to see that tones you like. Good luck.

I Agree with KK1000 & Julie - the navy blue will look fabulous. If you want to bring out the brown, consider it when selecting accessories; Julie's image is a great example of artwork in the space. I'd consider a feature light in either side of the basin if you have the room (its hard to tell from the photo) or perhaps above the mirror. The navy will be quite dark and you can add a bit of wow with a light as well as give some illumination for applying makeup etc from the right direction. Assuming of course that the shower will have a glass panel (to keep water away from any electrical fixtures)? Seek guidance from your electrical on the appropriate zones for elec fixtures and IP ratings suitable to the installation.

Hi there, If you want to keep it very soft and light then Terrace White a great choice. If stark is your concern its a great opportunity to add some more interest with colour/depth. Colour wise, something to compliment the terracotta but sits well with grey could be Dulux Snow Season Quarter or Subdue Half. Darker you could try Wet clay or match the darkest colour in the marble vein. Please check paint samples first.

Choosing the right white is hard - so many options and they look different in every home. We are renovating our home and have new Blackbutt floors with mainly oak and teak wood furniture. Dulux has large a4 swatches for $1 that you can move from room to room easily without lots of patches on the wall. We purchased these for the 4 whites we were considering. We then numbered them on the front to make things easy and put them in every room in morning and artificial/evening light. We wrote down our preference for each room. While different whites work better in different rooms, by the end of the process we had a clear winner - Caspar White Quarter. A beautiful fresh white without any blue tones in our space. We painted this throughout with same colour in satin on the skirting.
