What NON-orange colored bath accessories should I get if a bathroom wall is a soft, faded pastel orange color?

I need to make it match. I'm not a fan of the orange.


And I can't repaint the wall.

What NON-orange colored bath accessories should I get if a bathroom wall is a soft, faded pastel orange color?
1. Very retro - avocado green.


2. Feminine - Tonal shades of pink


3. Outdoorsy - Leaf greens and yellows


4. Muted - shades of beige, mocha and butterscotch.





You may not be able to paint, but add a focal point in the colors you choose to draw the eye away from the orange. Perhaps a picture with the new colors.


Follow through with a bath rug and towels in your new color scheme.
Reply:Oh dear, I'm afraid your choices are pink in the same faded pastel, turquoise, or the dreaded avocado green.





Here's a rental trick you can try though - Wallpaper!





If you can find it, get some wallpaper you like with the type of backing that you have to apply glue to (not the kind that you just wet) and tack it to the wall (not glue) with upholstery tacks. (Or whatever is handy.) When you move out, you just have little pin holes to fill and touch up. And, as most bathrooms in rentals are small, this project should take about an hour, shopping included.
Reply:Blue would look awesome - light, dark or anything in between - depending on the size of the room and how much natural light you have. My personal opinion is if you put brown or green it would remind you too much of a pumpkin. Come to think of it some purples look excellent with orange too!!!





Good luck!
Reply:I think these towels in cinnamon, butter, thyme, taupe, sky, honey, loden, flax or mocha would look good:

Reply:Chocolate brown works well with orange.
Reply:I'd use a soft shade of yellow to offset the orange.
Reply:I'd use soft yellows and greens. Anything too bright wouldn't blend well, in my opinion.
Reply:Turquoise should look nice.





Other choices are brown, cream, white and maybe sage green.
