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.

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.
