Master bath wall color help needed!

11 years ago

We are in the process of selected finishes for our small master bath reno. So far we have selected the following:

Cabinet: Medallion in White Chocolate

Countertop: Cambria quartz in Canterbury

Tile: American Orlean Catarina in Roman Gold

Fixtures: polished nickel

Now trying to pick out a wall color. Tend to like BM, but are open to others. I'm leaning toward Boothbay Gray (it reads blue to me) or Shelburne Buff. Our trim will be BM China White.

Any opinions and suggestions would be appreciated. If you have any pictures in any of these colors I'd love to see them. Thanks for looking!

Maybe it's my monitor, but I'm seeing some green in the counter material in that last closeup pic...? But not in the smaller pics. If the smaller pics are true representations, I think you could go with a blue, but the blue sample you've shown is SO blue. I'd go more subtle, like Quiet Moments or Healing Aloe.

I have similar tile (not the counter, though) in my master bath in our beach house and we have Healing Aloe on the walls.

Quiet Moments in a different room -- hallway to DS' room:

I like the third paint choice. You can bring in any accent color you want with towels -- maybe even change them with the seasons.

I like the quartz with your theme. It's like a gravel version of the pebble tile. You get the gray without the heaviness of a solid gray quartz like in your first choices. But I sure wouldn't use that pebble tile as a vanity backsplash. There is enough going on with the heavy grain of hickory, the speckled quartz, the faucet, mirror and light. Adding pebbles everywhere becomes too thematic. Just use the quartz as a backsplash. Add interest with the mirror and light if you think it needs more around the vanity. My cabinet maker has a display for dark stained hickory. They did slab for the shallow drawers to let the beautiful grain show. I recommend slab drawers for grained woods like cherry, hickory, and walnut. I like the dark stain because it eliminates some of the stripeyness of hickory that you can see in your sample, as do the slab drawers vs. a pieced drawer. These cabinets appeared a little darker in person so I think it's a darker stain than what you selected. The cabinets are inset. Aren't they beautiful?

I do not like that blue at all with the tiles. The green didn't look so bad but it is hard to tell. I almost see reddish brown flecks in that Cambria Canterbury. Would you want to go with a dark color?

Thanks for your input! I really don't see any green in the sample I have, but there might be. Looks like I should check with the fabricator. There are copper flecks in the quartz so Hough thought of picking that up in the paint color. The bathroom is very small. Is it okay to go with a dark color in a small room?

Sueb-Are the colors you mentioned BM?

nh, yes, they are BM colors.

Red, thank you! That's a sideboard from Craigslist and an Overstock mirror.

your floor tiles look they have some peach in them to me...that's what is fighting with the color chips above...

i do not like the the blue or the #2 color at all... #3 doesn't enhance your tiles either...
i also don't think i would like quiet moments in there...

with your dark counter and light floor, i would choose something not too pastel... i agree, with nhbaskets maybe something of a coppery/terracotta/brownish color...
otherwise, maybe a true beige without alot of yellow or green undertones

According to the Cambria/Benjamin Moore color palette, the colors that they suggest would go best with Canterbury are:
Wood Ash
Baja Dunes
Warmed Cognac

Have you tried those?

If you go to the BM site and look those colors up, you will find complimentary color palettes for accessories.

I was thing BM Copper Kettle, then clicked on the Warmed Cognac mentioned in the color palette and they are very similar. Either would look good.

Liking the warmed cognac. Will have to pull that paint chip. Thanks for pointing out the suggestions on the Cambria site. Had missed that. Not too dark for a small room?
