We are building a home and would like to know if I should stick with white for all the basics such as toilet/tubs/showers? We are using granite for all countertops and they suggested using bone or bisque, I can't remember which one they said, but when I saw it I thought it was white. Was thinking I do not want to deal with the shade of colors changing and I would still get white for the toilets and tub/showers, but still have sinks be the bone or bisque. Or should I still just do white for the sinks too? What do you think? Is it to fadish to go with a beige tone for everything?

personally, I like the bone and bisque, I am not a whit lover, to me it looks like a hospital, and I do not like that feeling.

The bone and or bisque is warmer, to me, especially with porcelien and tile which is cold to begin with, the boney (LOL) colors will look warmer.

but it is JMO........

Personally, I would avoid the darker colors like beige and stick with the 'white' shades, not white white but I guess it's called bone.
Do they even make white tubs and toilets anymore? We just bought a stock toilet from one of the big box stores and it's not white white at all. The older toilet we removed was really hospital white but the new one isn't.

We use white for toilet, and everything else is marble slabs.

I prefer white or very close to it. Especially for the bathroom; it just seems cleaner.
