barely buff or whole wheat by Sherwin Williams? I just put Barely Buff in my small bathroom and LOVE it but used the next shade up - whole wheat - in a small guest room and it looks phenomenal there... so depends upon the size of your room, but this looks small so perhaps the Barely Buff will be great. If the colors are more grey, you may want to look at Grey Wisp by Benjamin Moore. Check out those two...

Hello - do you mean paint for the walls? I have seen many bathrooms in other countries, not just India, that have a combination of paint/tiles so don't understand why this would be an exception

Priya,  There is no end to wishlist :). It's a new home and remodelling bathrooms may be a very costly affair in terms of money and efforts/time and sometimes approvals from builders. Before indulging in the process would give a straightforward suggestion to check if you would really like to do that now. Remodelling this with thorough water proofing may cost lakhs and some 20 days of effort. Take your call if you are open to it  Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore

Thank you so much for your response - and the encouragement. What I can do is buy a beadboard panel tall enough for an entire wall and have HD cut this down. I may find this to be a good deal less expensive anyway, though kits are cheap. Quality, I'm not so sure about. I'll just get the best I can. When I look at the sites that truly specialize in good-quality beadboard, thiers are also thin cladding and 32 inches high, so customizing is the way I'll need to go. The kits offer moldings that are exact fits, and this is attractive to me because I'll be asking for help with this from contractor who I think anticipates doing dry wall. It's a gift job, so want to make it very easy. I think the panels and moldings cut to size though will not be a problem. I'll get all supplies and corner mold, etc. I wonder now about back splash above marble vanity sink. How do y"all do it in your business if wainscot extends a little above the sink.
