ᐅ Adding Color to the Bathroom: Using Tiles or Specialized Waterproof Wall Paint?

Hello everyone,
We originally planned to cover two of our bathroom walls with pastel-colored tiles up to the ceiling (the T-shaped wall lighter and the wider wall behind it a bit darker). The other walls (except the area around the sink) should remain un-tiled and simply painted white.
Now I want to look into wall paints that are suitable for wet areas. How easy are they to maintain? Can you use a squeegee to remove water after showering? Should you do this regularly? Do you have to repaint them every 5-10 years because the paint loses breathability over time?
How do the prices of moisture-resistant paints for wet areas compare?
Here is the rough floor plan:
Would you advise against using these types of wet-area paints or do you have positive experiences? Is it a cost-effective alternative to tiling?
Thank you very much
