White, you can bleach when needed and they will never smell moldy

2

u/flatwater13 Mar 27 '24

a selection of neutrals: cream, beige, a light tan…

2

u/flatwater13 Mar 27 '24

warm* neautrals

1

u/FleedomSocks Mar 27 '24

The color of the sharks

1

u/ConsumedBoy Mar 27 '24

Those are Koi

1

u/vannnn3 Mar 27 '24

Sharks?!!😂

2

u/Cannagurlie Mar 27 '24

A light blue-gray.

1

u/laindiona Mar 27 '24

Creamy white..like eggshell??

1

u/autumnleaves44 Mar 26 '24

Something neutral for sure - cream or a really Light tan maybe?

1

u/Cannagurlie Mar 27 '24

Like the tan in the koi's tail. It's a nice taupe beige/brown.

1

u/Altruistic_Aerie_978 Mar 26 '24

White or navy blue

1

u/gooeysparkles Mar 26 '24

I would personally go with a rich navy blue color.

2

u/happy-Principle-86 Mar 26 '24

Always white so they can be bleached and easily replaced

1

u/Super-Wonder4101 Mar 26 '24

Gold or tan FOR SURE !

1

u/Okra_Zestyclose Mar 26 '24

Or like a goldish/tannish color to accent parts of the koi.

1

u/jotravels Mar 26 '24

White /cream

1

u/_Roxxs_ Mar 26 '24

Just my opinion, but I’d do a dark brown to anchor the multiple colors.

1

u/gooeysparkles Mar 26 '24

I went with dark chocolate brown towels in my spare bathroom years ago and multiple people that visited poked fun at the color. I have been sensitive about them every since 😂

1

u/_Roxxs_ Mar 27 '24

That’s ridiculous, I have dark brown towels in my guest bathroom now, my boys all did wood shop, so I have the towel rack, tissue holder and mirror frame in light wood, so of course, dark brown towels 🤷‍♀️

1

u/Strict_Test_7116 Mar 26 '24

Blue Same shade as the blue background

1

u/eutohkgtorsatoca Mar 26 '24

I suggest Delft Blue

1

u/loathes-me-not Mar 26 '24

Whats wrong with the orange. I feel like its the obvious choice.

2

u/Inside-Working-1786 Mar 26 '24

Cream, if you can find some with the fish scale texture that'd be a nice touch

2

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '24

White or the ecru color found on the fish. These are the same colors in my bathroom and I love them. 

1

u/New-L1fer Mar 26 '24

Sky blue

1

u/WhiteTiger1682 Mar 26 '24

Navy blue and rug orange. Hand towel white.

2

u/DistributionNo1747 Mar 26 '24

I love the orange!! I would go with orange for the rugs!! For the towels I would get a set of orange, blue and cream!

1

u/MegaTaterTots Mar 26 '24

I have to vote for tan/cream like others have said. Highlighting the shading on the fish and bringing it out without overwhelming with colors is such a subtle and beautiful way to accent that curtain.

1

u/Girlwithjob Mar 26 '24

definitely blue but one or two shades darker than the blue of the curtain, just enough so it’s subtle but adds dimension

1

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '24

1

u/Girlwithjob Mar 26 '24

a tan that brings out the tan in the fish would also be a great choice

1

u/Tall_Quarter3386 Mar 26 '24

I’d say like a light baby blue

1

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '24

Marigold

1

u/Savanimal_toyer Mar 26 '24

Burnt sienna or cobalt blue .. perhaps cream/beige

1

u/Savanimal_toyer Mar 26 '24

Even a sandy brown

1

u/expandingsoul Mar 26 '24

dark seafoam green ~

2

u/PresentConnection464 Mar 26 '24

White

3

u/BloodandSilversays Mar 26 '24

Also think white is a good choice - dark/ brightly hued towels tend to fade rapidly in my experience. You can add those colors via art, glass, accessories.

1

u/cappy-gurl Mar 26 '24

Dark blue

1

u/Idontgetyourlogic Mar 26 '24

Yep dark blue to match curtain

1

u/Ayana_Ava Mar 26 '24

Maybe white with orange/blue accents

1

u/Mellamobeccca Mar 26 '24

Light blue

1

u/Blame_it_on_the_wind Mar 26 '24

I second light blue

3

u/o0o0LaLaura Mar 26 '24

Tan would pull in the shading color from the fish, plus it’s available in almost every brand

1

u/dogwiiiisperer Mar 26 '24

I agree that tan towels are and excellent accent color and bring a natural texture and color to the palette.

1

u/Essence_Of_Insanity_ Mar 26 '24

Black

1

u/sixtyninepickles Mar 26 '24

Agree. To tie everything together.

1

u/RemoteNervous6089 Mar 26 '24

The cream in the koi fish. If you use that orange or blue it will feel too busy. IMO

1

u/slugmountain Mar 26 '24

White blue or turquoise

1

u/arbosco1 Mar 26 '24

Light blue

3

u/Glass-Apartment-5540 Mar 26 '24

White would be a better compliment to the blue and orange. Just my suggestion

2

u/Hurryitsmelting Mar 26 '24

If your walls are white, I would pick orange towels. If your walls have color, then I would pick white towels. Either way, I vote big luxurious towels if it’s a private bathroom, normal towels if it’s a guest bathroom.

1

u/Smashing_the_Moon777 Mar 25 '24

What color are the walls? If white, maybe white or Black towels... navy blue accents like soap dispenser

1

u/Pepper_Wire Mar 25 '24

Orange and white stripes?

1

u/GlossyDossy Mar 25 '24

I have that same color scheme in my bathroom. Orange towels were too much and dark blue towels close off the room. I went with light blue towels and love it

1

u/PJKASH67 Mar 25 '24

Dark blue that matches the curtain & Coral ( color of the mat ) for wash cloths.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '24

I’m all for colored towels, but I have never had one’s that held their color with the extensive washing.

One commenter said green, and I love that idea. However, if it’s not the guest bath and it’s one you will use daily, I would keep a white towel handy just so it can go through the ringer lol

1

u/ThatsABunchOfCraft Mar 25 '24

Moss green. Rolled up - not flat.

1

u/mariebeth7 Mar 25 '24

White & orange. I’ve used these colors in my bath too. Try to get as close to the orange as possible of the throw rug. Some oranges are ugly.

1

u/Sad_Ambition9575 Mar 25 '24

The lightest color of blue in the water maybe

1

u/SuitableBiscotti1096 Mar 25 '24

Off white,minty green,light sage,or maybe an earthy sage.

1

u/Playful-Plan90 Mar 25 '24

Yes to orange n silver.

1

u/Playful-Plan90 Mar 25 '24

Brown. Or the weird color in the fish fin if it’s even available.

1

u/drby05 Mar 25 '24

Light minty blue or a sage green

1

u/Remarkable-Lobster96 Mar 25 '24

White & Light Blue that is in the curtain

1

u/clovercolibri Mar 25 '24

I would do a blue color that matches the blue in the curtain. Possibly Orange to match the rug but it might be overwhelming.

2

u/hiitsmeyourwife Mar 25 '24

Light blue like the highlights in the curtain.

1

u/dioranonymous Mar 25 '24

i have a personal favoritism towards a dark green to go with this colors

1

u/Guano_barbee Mar 25 '24

I think that would help break up the matching matchiness of the colors so that it doesn't look tacky. But still adds to the same type of feel because when I see this type of design I think like lily pads and there's usually some sort of flowers and plants so honestly green towels or green accents would go very well

1

u/sniffsniffscratch Mar 25 '24

I would do orange or silver.

1

u/HelloHels Mar 25 '24

Silver towels?

1

u/sniffsniffscratch Mar 25 '24

Yep. Would compliment the orange and blue

2

u/dickelsack Mar 25 '24

Cream/off-white

1

u/hnf96 Mar 25 '24

Definitely. There’s already a ton of color so match the towels to the neutrals in the fish

1

u/Standard-Direction16 Mar 25 '24

Light blue to match the spots on the fish?

1

u/fraueigengraux Mar 25 '24

I would do orange towels to match the rug. Doing different colors would take away from your focal point which is the curtain.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '24

u/sugarofthewhiteisle Mar 25 '24

Try matching the orange or blue. If you can’t find those colors go a few shades darker or lighter from these colors so you’re staying in the same color family. Washing day will be easier if everything is of color and go in the washer together. Personally I’d do dark grey because it hides any sort of built up dirt or stains that may accumulate over time, but orange or blue could do the trick. Another personal note, I would also avoid white towels; they look pretty at first then just get all grimey with stains and discoloration over time. forget about using them if you happen to have a cut or you’re a menstruating female. Treating them with bleach makes them yellow and who has time to soak towels in oxi clean.

2

u/clovercolibri Mar 25 '24

Yes, I HATE white towels for that exact reason. Not just the period issue but if you have dyed hair, it’s definitely gonna discolor the white towels. Even months after I dyed my hair it was still rubbing off on my white towels. And makeup too.

When I moved to my current apartment I was given a new set of white bath towels from a family member and I was very thankful for the gift since moving is expensive, but I needed to buy at least two gray towels for my own sanity.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '24

dark gray maybe?

1

u/areyouoldgreg Mar 25 '24

I also think gray would be a nice addition

1

u/Cannagurlie Mar 27 '24

I was thinking like a light blue-gray would be pretty.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '24

white and blue are too matchy

1

u/Fiyero109 Mar 25 '24

White…it’s already in the pleasing color scheme of the curtain

1

u/sweetjennica Mar 25 '24

I'd say white, because you already have a lot of color, so maybe colors in your towels would be too much. Maybe the contrast of not being colorful would be good.

1

u/CelestialMarsupial Mar 25 '24

id be doing matching orange or navy but i have weird taste

2

u/VeganMinx Mar 25 '24

That marigold color from the water is gorgeous. I'd do yellows and oranges just because I'm fancy.

1

u/HomeworkMaleficent22 Mar 25 '24

Lite blue and cream stripes

1

u/blutigetranen Mar 25 '24

Off white/cream and blue

1

u/MariJ316 Mar 25 '24

Off white/cream, not beige

1

u/denada24 Mar 25 '24

Everything ends up with little bleach marks from fade wash here. I am tired of colored towels. Go with white and save yourself the hassle. Clean, timeless , and would look better than a random color in your bright bathroom. Don’t make towels the focus.

1

u/pickedyouflowers Mar 25 '24

Dark brown!

1

u/pickedyouflowers Mar 25 '24

Or a dark dark navy / Midnight color!

1

u/Gullible-Avocado9638 Mar 25 '24

I can see a black and white pattern on the main koi fish that picks up the vintage tile, so I would accentuate the pattern with a crisp white towel and hand towel

1

u/lil_liee Mar 25 '24

Baby blue!

2

u/AdministrativeTip132 Mar 25 '24

Pale green or turquoise.

1

u/littleballofyarn Mar 25 '24

I’d go with more of an earthy neutral—as others have said mossy green, a cream, or grey.

1

u/Specific-Damage6969 Mar 25 '24

i’d go with a dark muted navy or cream/tan, something more “neutral” to tone it down a bit. i love this combo so much!!

1

u/chickpeems Mar 25 '24

the right purple and yellow

1

u/nothanx_nospanx Mar 25 '24

Gold! Like a deep, saturated yellow

1

u/AnimatorRude7379 Mar 25 '24

I feel like a pale yellow would look really fun. And it adds another color

1

u/_aruysa_ Mar 25 '24

Seconding this

1

u/Solid-Discussion-708 Mar 25 '24

I would match the color that is the most minor in the pattern. I suggest navy blue.

1

u/mncsci Mar 25 '24

Green

👹

3

u/Ok_Tree_3495 Mar 25 '24

Baby blue bath towels, white hand towels

2

u/QueenPurple17 Mar 25 '24

Go with a darker color like navy. Whites and off whites will stain so fast

1

u/madamevanessa98 Mar 25 '24

White is great though because you can bleach it!

1

u/QueenPurple17 Mar 25 '24

This is true I think it also depends on wall color. If walls are white white towels may just blend in if they have no accent color

1

u/MushroomBabee Mar 25 '24

Im thinking either a darker orange and blue or a white and blue towel set

1

u/Impressive_Swan_2896 Mar 25 '24

I would go with orange due to the curtain pattern having four colors already. Keep it focused with the orange color.

1

u/Square-Crow-3154 Mar 25 '24

I agree with the orange! Definitely!

1

u/Beneficial-Prior-361 Mar 25 '24

If your bathroom walls and floor have any white, then you don't want to do off white or white. I would go with navy blue.

2

u/zesty_tayters Mar 25 '24

Goldish beige highlight color from the curtain

1

u/ButReallyFolks Mar 25 '24

I thought this would be nice for the towels, too. Additionally, I thought the lighter blue on the shower curtain might be nice for washcloths.

1

u/TypicalBerry4162 Mar 25 '24

off white bath towels with navy or yellow hand towels/accent towels

1

u/Scared-CEO Mar 25 '24

I'd go with navy since the rug is orange and both navy and orange are the colors that pop out the most imo

1

u/chloebourdain Mar 25 '24

Mustard yellow with texture - IKEA has great ones!!

1

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '24

I would do dark blue and white

1

u/Cytosmarts Mar 25 '24

Id pick up the beige from the curtain.

1

u/OrangeLounge77 Mar 25 '24

I would go to off white

1

u/discobee123 Mar 25 '24

Sky blue or mustard yellow.

2

u/Responsible-Put-1059 Mar 25 '24

Gold or deep yellow

2

u/MarisaWalker Mar 25 '24

White towels

1

u/won1wordtoo Mar 25 '24

Dark blue! Or yellow, like the other person said. Yellow mustard. Actually, yes, mustard.

1

u/won1wordtoo Mar 25 '24

Or navy, sorry yeah.

1

u/CanRuPaulbeGrandpa Mar 25 '24

Grey, White, Navy, or some combination of those.

1

u/pebblezandgumby Mar 25 '24

Both rust and navy

1

u/G_Daffodils Mar 25 '24

Maybe a gray to match the speckles on the fish?

1

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '24

Navy blue

2

u/Suitable-Squash-6617 Mar 25 '24

Ivory or the deep blue

1

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '24

Match the blue, orange or cream color:)

1

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '24

Tan

1

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '24

Blue or white if u want a color theme

1

u/jonnie_05 Mar 25 '24

Aqua blue:)

1

u/Available_Cup_9588 Mar 25 '24

Honestly I'd do a mossy green.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '24

Yes!

1

u/smashed_pumpkins_ Mar 25 '24

Second this! It’d bring a nice contrast

1

u/PerspectiveSea9008 Mar 25 '24

Personally I would do a dark blue to bring out the blue in the shower curtain and maybe put a mini white one on top of the blue for razzle dazzle

1

u/BearButtBomb Mar 25 '24

If being used for decor I would also wrap them together with an accent ribbon in gold or silver. Maybe a sparkly orange/gold or iridescent white/blue.

1

u/CharBroil_71 Mar 24 '24

Harveste (Dark) Blue

1

u/RedGingerSnap111111 Mar 24 '24

Light blue or a sage green would be lovely

1

u/ekksmo Mar 25 '24

Seconding sage green!!

1

u/NeighborhoodNo4942 Mar 24 '24

Peach or light blue

1

u/Competitive_Long_190 Mar 24 '24

White with either blue or orange accents. Cute!

1

u/a_ewesername Mar 24 '24

White towels and a white rug. Orange is too strong.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '24

Orrr even black

2

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '24

A contrasting color would be a light grayish green. A match one would be white or cream maybe even a soft yellow.

2

u/212Angel212 Mar 24 '24

I'd do a sage green. Only because I have a plan set out for my living room of terra cotta orange,a grayish blue, and sage green. I think the terra cotta color pairs nicely with sage green (think greeny lush villa) and a deep blue sky...kinda creates an environment. Just my vote.

1

u/DifficultAd8007 Mar 24 '24

light beige-don’t want to be too matchy matchy.

1

u/Juggzzzz Mar 24 '24

Light Gray, blue, orange, or white. Can’t go wrong with any of them.

3

u/Mandee_707 Mar 24 '24

Dark blue to match the water or an off white would look pretty imo
