The old colors were a light powder blue on the main lower portion, darker blue trim, and a off-white for the top/ceilings (see picture below). Looks like there was some water damage in here and pieces of drywall were cut away and replaced. Not to mention some water damage stains on the ceilings. I got to work taping everything off while Missy and my Dad head to Henry's Hardware to pickup the colors.
They picked out a Gunmetal Gray for the bottom, black for the trim, and a brighter white for the top. Since there was so much to paint, and a lot required my waiting on it to dry before taping off for the trim, I didn't get as far as I'd have liked. I finished the top and the ceilings, finished all the dark gray, just waiting on everything to dry before I can finish up with the black trim.
Working on the baseboards, day 3 of painting this bathroom. We weren't sure if we wanted the baseboards also in black, but as you can see the black is much cooler looking!

By Monday I had completely finished the trim work. However the touch-ups required were insane! I spent the next few days with tiny brushes fixing where paint had leaked through the tape or tape removal had removed some paint! Ugh. It's finally complete though. I highly recommend using Frog Tape for any and ALL painting endeavors, the difference is incredible.
