Okay...all the junk is out! Plan: clean up/mop dust, mortar chips, etc. and spend the evening with my paint samples...narrow down to three or four...paint sample boards, and pick a color. I would love to have time to see the sample boards in different light etc.; but my get-er-done DH scheduled plumbers on Monday and convinced the tile setters to partially grout the shower and come back to finish on Monday too....Grrrr! So...I plan to only paint behind the toilet and area and by bullnose edging. If I pick wrong.....I will not have to do redo the whole room. If I pick the wrong color, I am not worried about repainting near the bullnose; it is the toilet area that worries me. Anyone have a tip for painting behind a toilet that is 1/2 inch from the wall just in case. This is our attempt to correct a horrible inefficient layout...not thrilled about looking at the side of a toilet; but that compromise meant a towel closet in the bathroom (finally), a 60x60 angle shower, and room for a 77" double vanity while eliminating the 3 right angles in the second entrance from the master bath.

Kim, I think you are wise to not use the gray you posted above.....way too busy. Have you thought of doing a large format (24x36") porcelain tile? I feel like the porcelain FAUX-WOOD TILES are too short and look too busy. The grains and patterns need to be subtle and should be at least 6-8" wide to mimic current wood floors. A large format tile (stone or porcelain) in a neutral color would be beautiful. What about carrara marble in large format (18x36")? Would be stunning! https://tilebar.com/catalina-white-carrara-18x36-marble-tile.html Check out all the beautiful blue marbles for your kitchen -- so gorgeous! https://tilebar.com/collection/marble/blue-marble.html Go here to check out some beautiful options. They have a great website to navigate.... https://tilebar.com/lookbook Or, if you go gray, go with a tile vs a faux wood. https://tilebar.com/metropol-sensation-grafito-lappato-24x24-porcelain-tile.html Love this too. Light and bright and not too gray.... https://tilebar.com/archea-grigio-24x36-porcelain-tile.html Check out their Versace tiles too. Large format, so pretty! The large gray (15x30" porcelain) would be beautiful! https://tilebar.com/designer-tiles/versace.html I'm a fan of gray, just not FAUX WOOD GRAY! It just isn't natural.....

Have a look at the Blog posts and Colorography Lab at The Land of Color .com for attributes of lots of popular paint colours. It allows you to compare similar colours in detail. If you are looking at whites/off-whites or indeed any colours, note that the higher the Chroma the more colourful colour. A colour maybe so low in Chroma you might struggle to immediately recognise in which Hue Family it belongs. Even so, every single paint colour does belong to a Hue Family: identifying which, helps you combine colours with greater confidence. Here are some popular whites by comparison.

If you're planning on adding curtains or other textiles, choose those before your wall colour. Paint can be matched to anything and that's why it's recommended it be chosen last when doing a room.
