What is it with pink bathrooms? The bathroom in our house was pink, until we bashed out all the tiles. I have no idea what color it will end up being, but right now it’s bare lathe. My friend had a pink bathroom, too.
In The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the tiles in Frank N. Furter’s lab are the same color as the ones that used to be in our bathroom.
Not only that, they made it into The Sims rug patterns in 2000 as well. Although until this thread I didn’t realize that the boomerang patterns were based on something really retro, not just the game developer’s ideas of retro. Check out screenshots 2 and 4, but keep in mind they also had blue&yellow, pink&yellow and red&yellow for us too…and no wallpaper to go with them that didn’t look hideous. sigh.
As for the OP, I know there’s…stuff you can get to re-enamal your tub white, because my parents did it to an old-fashioned clawfoot tub they bought when I was young. I bet a big hardware store could tell you what it is.
Our pink and grey bathroom was one of the main reasons we BOUGHT our house… Send me anything you don’t want…
Saddest day owning the house so far was when we had to replace our old grey toilet with a white one… 
I read a story in Fine Homebuilding magazine last year about a guy who decided to remodel his flaming pink bathroom after years of hating it. He started one evening on the spur of the moment and took a sledge hammer to everything, pink tile walls, pink toilet, pink bathtub, pink sink, etc. He dragged everything to the curb for the garbage man and called it a night.
Next morning, he went outside and saw the tub, toilet and sink in the light of day and found that they were all white. They only appeared pink in the bathroom because of light reflected off the wall tiles. The fixtures had all been in good shape and could have been reused if he had known they weren’t pink.
You might want to check your own fixtures as I think white porcelain was the norm in the days of the orginal flaming pink bathroom.
You really need to make some sort of full body suit that is Bazooka Bubble Gum Pink and scare the hell out of Mr. Strong by emerging from the wall.
Dead-ant, dead-ant.
dead-ant-dead-ant-dead-ant
dead-ant-dead-ahhhhhhnt, dead-dead-dead-dead-ant.
Lots of good suggestions, thanks! (And my sympathy to fellow Sufferers of Pink.)
Moe, I assure you the fixtures are intrinsically pink. Rather, PINK*. No chance of error.
Zebra, I like the way you think. 
In the short term, I’m going to try that tile paint: battleship gray for the floor, dove gray for the walls. White paint above the tiles (and on the ceiling.) A melange of gray and white towels. Unfortunately we have sliding glass shower doors, so no big hit of gray in a shower curtain.
Then we’ll see.
Mr. Strong is relieved that I’m settling for such a cheap solution and easy solution.
Me, I suspect the paint will begin to peel very soon, and then it will look SO DREADFUL that not even he can live with it. I mean, gray with patches and streaks of bright pink? It’ll look like an elephant that’s been attacked by Freddy Krueger.
And THEN we’ll gut the room and do it right.
