What color can I paint my bathroom to tone down a yellowed, offwhite countertop to make it look less yellow?

The cabinets are painted a dark espresso color, the toilet is WHITE, the countertop/sink is offwhite, the tub is offwhite and the shower slabs are more yellowed. It's a mess! I currently have the walls painted ';Morris room gray'; and it looks TERRIBLE.What color can I paint my bathroom to tone down a yellowed, offwhite countertop to make it look less yellow?
Use more yellow tones to make it the offending countertop seem less yellow. So many switch to something like ';offbeat green'; (#6706).

you would have to go to a home improvement store like lowes for this stuff. but i am sure they sell paint to paint your tub and sink with. i would go with white and black for the whole bathroom. the yellow or off white areas make white. the darker areas make black. i am sure you can even paint over tile. ask the paint guy at the paint counter. bathrooms look great in the black and white colors then you can ';splash'; it up with like soap holder and toothbrush holders of a wilder color like red.
try painting it withbaby pink
try changing the lighting. a halogen bulb might cool things down and gray out the colors; in contrast an incandescent on a dimmer will make everything a bit more warm and yellow.
Could you maybe post a photo or a link showing a photo? There are too many shades of color that its hard to be sure we're imagining correctly.
paint the wall behind the countertop : red - signal red. and the rest of the walls white - stark white. it will be so contrast that it will draw the attention away from your yellowed things... a dark blue hue will also work great...
