A pale green could work, with subdue pinks and white.
Something like this?

Depending on how feminine you wanted the room (and how bright the other pinks are) you could consider a dark burnt pink, or very faint pink like the below.

I think the bath/tiling is throwing my off, the colour is fine.

If you replaced it with a decent roll top and without the tiling altogether it would change the look of the room.

I like the colour, agree hard to get past that bath!

I've gone for this look in my house , I'm hoping it doesn't look tacky or cheap lol, I used greys on my living room wall ( pale) and used a local lady to purchase furniture off she buys and shabby chics in duck egg blues pale pinks with matching handles , added cushions and lamps in greens/blues mainly accessories from likes of Laura Ashley/ cath kidston . eBay is fab xx
I've found once you have done ond room though the rest of house needs to flow and keep the same style otherwise just looks disjointed we were renovating an old victorian not sure how the style would of looked in my new build previous house though ? ..
It's very addictive happy shabby chic buying xx

I would think along the lines of natural unbleached linen, alot of white loose furniture covers, with rustic wood elements.

Google for Rachel Ashwell! Her designs are fabulous!
