Brown tile circa 1979- what color compliments it?

I have a bathroom room with a dark chocolate brown with white diagonal squares and need color suggestions. The toilet, tub and sinks are a beige with peachy undertones and the vanity is VERY dark brown with a beautiful 1979 woodgrain formica counter top. I did get rid of the woodgrain toilet seat as soon as we moved in - it just seemed unsanitary!

Obviously, it need a major re-do however that is not going to happen in the next 2-3 years. I plan to paint the cabinet and the formica countertop (I think if I sand it down and use oil based paint it will work) as well as the walls. Any thoughts or idea?

I was thinking about like a lime green or something kind of fun (this is the kid's bath) but I also do not want it to be shocking because our guests will have to use it!
