HELP! Need to pick paint color by 7am for Master Bath!!!!

11 years ago

I have not been on here in like FOREVER! Hoping I can get some very quick help from all the wonderful people here. Some of you might remember by Palladian Blue bedroom from last year...here it is...

Welllll.....in the middle of the Master Bath remodel and I want it to coordinate with the Palladian Blue. I put samples up on the walls of Wythe Blue and Stratton Blue (both from the Palladian Blue card) but I am not sure if either of these colors work in the bathroom. The tiles are in already....they are a creamy color....the rectangle block represents the cabinet color (another creamy biscuit shade), and the chunk of quartz is the counter top...neutral shades with flecks of brown. As you can see all the permanent fixtures in the bathroom are going to be a creamy color so I want a nice contrasting color for the walls but worried that these blues are just not jiving. Should I not be doing blue????? Should I be using a neutral goldy brown instead? What else coordinates with Palladian Blue????

I thought I would have more time to make this decision but was informed today that the contractors want to start painting TOMORROW before the cabinets get installed.

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember that spectacular bedroom - love that wallpaper! I think I'd go with a beige (my friend with tan tiles painted her bath blue and I don't care for it). I'm about to do my master bath, and think I've settled on SW's Stone Lion, which might be really nice with your granite. Add in some pretty accessories in the palladian blue, like towels, to tie it all together.

By 7:00 am??! You've made me hyperventilate! Maybe it's my monitor, but I can't seen either of those colors coordinating with your blue bedroom. I like them both, just not with your bedroom. Are those the same colors in the last picture. If I HAD to choose one, I guess it would be the darker one; I prefer it with your other choices. But if you're sooo not sure and in a panic, I would slow things down a bit until you're comfortable. So you ruffle some painter feathers -- it's your home.
Just because colors are on the same paint card doesn't mean they're intended to go together. I hope someone here can offer better advice.

I bought some more paint and have a few more options - yes, I am indecisive :) Option 1 is "Brown Teepee" by Behr. It is a caramel-ish brown. I like it, but my husband is afraid it might be too flesh toned and warm for the adjacent bedroom, which is a cool grey-ish blue. Option 2 is called "Stony Mountain". It's a very light greenish-beige. Brown Teepee is on the left; Stony Mtn on right. Opinions are appreciated! Many thanks for your input :) Here's the other wall; Brown Teepee on right, Stony Mtn to left above the towel rack.

I recommend taking your stone samples to the paint store. They could match one of the colors from the stone if that is what you desire. I would do a white venetian plaster finish to keep it white, bright and shimmering. I hope it turns out exactly like you want!

I'm glad you changed your mind about the SW blue if that's the sample on the wall--Too dark and unnatural imo. Are you staging for sale? Then I'd go for a less obtrusive color; maybe a very pale grey or off white, even just white for that matter.

I can't find a name for this color, but think it would look wonderful with your bath finishes The ceiling in this pic is Palladian blue.

Why not Palladian Blue again?

BM Caramel Corn would pull out the really warm tones in your wallpaper as well as provide a nice contrast with the cabients and granite.

Or go a little darker with Autumn Bronze.

Then use Palladian Blue for the ceiling, but cut to half or 1/4.

Thx everyone!! :) I am so under gun...I thought I would have another week to decide but the contractors want to start painting tomorrow BEFORE the cabinets go in. I decided to go with the darker shade in the pics....the Stratton Blue. I agree that the colors are not showing up well on the monitor. After the job is done, if I truly don't like it, I will take my time and try to consider a brownish gold tone like in the suggestions above. Part of me really wanted a spa-like calming blue which is why I am trying to work off the Palladian Blue card. olychick - I love that picture of the room with the palladian blue ceiling. I never even considered doing something like that and I really would love to know what the color is on those walls! That is really a gorgeous beautiful room!

Soooooo if I hate the Stratton after it is all up and done, I will re-paint....

Sooo as it turns out the guy at the paint store had mixed the wrong formula for the Stratton Blue sample which explains why the color looked so dull and off both on the monitor and in person!

Here is a corrected sample of the true Stratton Blue. Does it look awful with the creamy tile/counter/cabinet swatches?

Again, I am in agreement with suggestions above in regards to going with a cream or beigey color but I had this vision in my head of having a spa-like color. I know I can always repaint if I don't like it. Someone suggested above to go with Palladian Blue (just like in my bedroom), and while I think that color would look good, I don't want it to look EXACTLY the same as the bedroom...I wanted a little variation.

I am confused :(

The new true Stratton blue is MUCH better. I would chose that or a lovely warm beige that picks up the color from the granite. See how nice the beige looks along side the blue of the bedroom. Sea and sand, sky and sand. Or paint the ceiling blue and the walls a warm sand beige. Good luck!!

I read somewhere, maybe it was on GW, to take the bedroom paint and have the paint store lighten or darken that color a bit. In your case I would probably go a shade darker than the palladian blue. BTW I love PB and plan on using it in our master bedroom in our new home.
Good Luck!
