I actually have it in both bathrooms. One bathroom has wainscotting, so I have the white on the wainscotting and the blue on the upper walls and ceiling. The other doesn't, so I have the blue on the walls and the white on the ceiling

my tiny half bath has Newport Blue with basic Ultra-Pure White trim, all Behr by Home Cheapot. I think it's eggshell finish, whatever can has the teal label.

oh, and my California full bath (huge!!) has a chair rail with Behr Ultra-Pure White below (including vanity and cabinets) with Benjamin Moore "Hawthorne Yellow" above. I don't usually mix brands, but I absolutely loved the yellow I saw in the Pottery Barn catalog. it's in the historical collection.

Seafoam green. Powder room only. You don't want this color in bathroom where you put your makeup on, it will affect your skin tone.

Sherwin Williams has a cool site where you can download room photo and "paint" it to see what color you like.

I agree with J. A soft blue gives a bathroom a spa-like feel. Very soothing and relaxing!

I like the soft gray - and if you've got good lighting in there you can even go with a deeper (think steel) tone of gray. And I prefer a soft white with it as long as it's not a cold gray. If the gray has green or blue to it, I'd go with a bright white.
But whatever you choose, it's not a big room so it wouldn't take too much work to change it if you don't like the initial color!
