Ready to paint, new lighting, tile flooring and acc. in our M-bath. We have kinda dark ant. walnut vanity cabnets with a light colored creamy swirly double sink top and whirl pool bath. The shower also has a chrome trim door. We like the polished chrome faucets, my question is what color paint to go with all that? Some shade of green? Also does the vanity lighting HAVE to be some sort of chrome? We just haven't seen any of those we like. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What colors are work in the master bedroom. Pull one of the colors used in bedroom into bathroom to provide a greater feeling of unity and an ensuite feel.

M-bed walls are sort of a medium mocca tan/brown with kinda dark olive green swag drapes and laminate flooring. Thats the reason for considering a shade of green for M-bath walls, really didn't want exact same wall color in bath as M-bedroom. Do you think??

Green sounds great. Since baths are usually smaller spaces, you may want to go with a lighter shade.
Although most are into making sure all their metals match, there is no rule etched in granite. Here is a link that you can explore for vanity lighting ideas. There are also tips for selection of lighting. http://www.lightinguniverse.com/BathVanityLighting_93.html?page=1

Thanks !!! Question... We now have one strip bar hollywood light above the dual sinks which we hate. All the other new ones that aren't hollywood bars have ony 3 or 4 lights in them. Is one 4 light fixture enough to put above the sinks or should I put two 4 light fixtures above the sinks?? Two would require cutting new holes and wiring since now there is only one hole above the center of the mirrow.
