Well white is prob really nice because it goes with everything, just a suggestion, but maybe keep the white wall and add like a pink bed cover to mach the floor and add like nice tables and a desk whit board. . .

Find a paint color chip that matches the dominant shade of pink in the granite flooring, and then locate a soft blue-green of the same hue--neither deeper nor more pastel. That's your wall color. Wicker, bamboo, or any light golden-brown wood finishes would work for furnishings, including woven blinds instead of curtains.

I think white is the best choice, but there are hundreds of "white " paints. Take a sample of the granite to your local paint store and ask for recommendations. They seem to know exactly what you need even when you have no clue. You might take some photos of the room with you so they have a better idea of the space and lighting. Pink and black are great together, also gray. Personally, I would stick to a pale pink/ pinkish white scheme and then use punches of color for pillows, lampshades, and artwork. Maybe a bright pink slipper chair. Or maybe black.

A cool slate grey would look great with pink, and then you can always accent with warm colored accessories.
