Are you talking about painting, tiles, sink or fixtures?

Perhaps a medium toned decor would provide a good compromise.

Floor Tile, paint, and shower tile. Thank you

When considering renovations, always think ahead to the future and choose a classic style that can challenge the test of time. That is especially true with color. Keep the fundamentals as neutral as possible - flooring, cabinets, and counter should be white, gray, beige. Take a look at the rest of your house and make sure it flows. If you generally have warmer colors like yellows and beiges in other areas, carry that into the bathroom. If they are cooler colors like blue-grays, stick to that theme in there as well. You can add bolder color that goes along with the color scheme by using paint on the walls and with the accessories such as the towels, soap dish, toothbrush holder, etc. When you are looking for materials, we can help make suggestions!

Using a mosaic tile on the floor will also help mask dirt.

A frameless sliding enclosure would open the area up.

A combination of light and dark colors can give you the best of both worlds. You can try a darker color with lighter accents or a lighter color with darker accents. I wouldn't limit yourself to just one color.
