Minimizing the Pink
-
If you've bought an existing house with a pink bathroom and the color pink isn't your taste, there are several ways to minimize the pink short of remodeling the room. Paint the walls and cabinetry a light, warm color. This will help draw the focus off any pink flooring or fixtures. Hide a pink bathtub with a vibrantly colored shower curtain. The idea is to draw the focus of the room to something else, rather than having the color pink be the center of the attention.
Embracing the Color
-
If you have chosen pink or if you are trying to maximize this color in the bathroom, there are several options that you can use to embrace this color. In this instance, we're drawing attention to the color rather than trying to hide it. Select bathroom accessories in shades of pink that compliment the existing pink in the bathroom. Hang a dark pink shower curtain and paint the walls a pale shade of pink. This will have the added benefit of making most complexions look even better in the mirror.

Other Pastels
-
Rather than going with an entirely pink bathroom theme, change things up by introducing other colors in the same pastel family. Light blue, light purple and even a pale shade of green combine well with pink. To avoid having the bathroom look too much like an Easter egg, paint the walls a bright white to break up the focus on the pastels. Pastel or white rugs can be placed over pink tile to lessen its impact.
Bold Colors
-
Although most shades of pink fall into the pastel category, there are several bold colors that compliment it very nicely. One of the most popular combinations is pink and black. The black keeps the pink from feeling too "feminine" and provides a bold statement. Other colors that work well with pink include navy blue, teal, purple and even brown depending on your personal taste. Bold colors to avoid include red and dark green as these color typically clash with most shades of pink.
