OH NO! Don't paint it! It is so unique! Just "go with it".....decorate around it. Use creamy neutrals or florals as a curtain and paint the walls to match the grout. I love it!
1. Use the special paint made for this to cover just the pink tiles or all of them.
2. Embrace it and decorate in a vintage or modern way, either minimizing or exploiting the pink. Search for examples online for inspiration.
3. Carefully chip out the pink tiles only and install black, white, or patterned tiles that coordinate well so that they look original. Remember to refresh the grout.
This is retro-cool. GREY is a trending color (grey or beige in the pix?). A charcoal grey shower curtain (geometrics or a solid) would lend contrast to make it pop if you don't want to go "girlie floral." Use a darker coordinating charcoal on the walls in a semi gloss for reflected light Emphasize that neutral, downplay the pink. Accessories in dark greys. Alternatively, put in mirror shower doors to hide it.
Static cling tiles. I used gray ones to cover ugly pink ones in my rental bathroom. Easy to apply and easy to clean. I ordered several extra but never needed them. They stayed for several years until I moved and just peeled them off.
I have a pink tiled bathroom straight out of the 50's. I can't afford to knock out walls and redo from start. I've heard tiles can be painted. Has anyone got pictures...

I love them, embrace them. You cannot find them anymore
I had this "problem." I found a couple of sets of pink and gray towels in different patterns. Problem solved.
You have three options:
1. Use the special paint made for this to cover just the pink tiles or all of them.
2. Embrace it and decorate in a vintage or modern way, either minimizing or exploiting the pink. Search for examples online for inspiration.
3. Carefully chip out the pink tiles only and install black, white, or patterned tiles that coordinate well so that they look original. Remember to refresh the grout.
