We have SW Sea Salt in our master bath and though it's a very light color, I can guarantee you it's NOT pastel. LOL Both Sea Salt and Rainwashed are quite pretty once they've dried completely and really that's the key, when I used them, I noticed there is a difference once they completely dry and cure. Another color in that family that is also quite pretty but just a tad darker is Tradewinds. We used that color in another bathroom and even though it seemed pretty dark at first, it dried into a really pretty shade and wasn't too dark at all. I think any of these colors would be beautiful in any room. Just keep in mind, they are very soothing to be in which is why they're popular to use in bedrooms & baths, but if the mood you're after is light, airy and soothing, I can guarantee you, you're on the right track.

Help! I thought I had more time to fine-tune my selections on bathroom paint, but painter is coming in 3 days! Here are the tiles I'm using: the white will be the floor, the grey will be the shower walls, the pebble (darker one) will be the shower floor. In the second photo, the color is kind of off, but there are the floor and shower tiles again, and my granite for the countertops. I will also have a little white claw-foot slipper tub. I really have wanted Sea Salt on the walls for awhile. Thought I wanted to do the cabinetry in grey, then thought white, now not sure! My worry is that, with all the white floor tile, and the soft color of Sea Salt, that white cabinets will be too stark. I want the bathroom to be calm and soothing, not washed out. Plus, I might like to draw the grey from the shower into the cabinets. Does anyone have any suggestions for a nice grey that would look good with these tiles and the Sea Salt walls? I went to Sherwin Williams today looking for white, and found Eider White, which looks grey. But is it grey enough?! Hoo boy. I'm really seeing how a designer earns his/her money! Doing this by myself is hard.....I am constantly amazed at the little (curse word) (curse word) decisions I'm having to make! Thanks in advance for any help. I know you guys on this forum are the most amazing, and I have gotten so much information from here.

In my last home my entire family room and kitchen were painted SW CG and my master bathroom was SW SS. BOTH looked very blue in that space. In my new home I had a bedroom done SWSS. In this space it looks very GREEN. Its a beautiful color but I had thought it would be more blue. These two colors are very much affected by light and by yellow light. It completely changes them. I did the master bath in this home in SW Tradewind and I love it! There are so many colors of similar character to go with. A really really pretty color is VALSPAR SEA SALT BLUE. I think you need to make sample boards and try them out and decide of you want more blue more green or more gray. Excuse the paper shades on the window but this is the Tradewind in my new bath. Sea Salt in last home Comfort gray in last home Sea Salt in this home Another color that was a big contender you may want to look at is SW Silver Strand.

I'm considering BM Nob Hill Sage for my dining room. What you see on this wall is a true sample of the color (from samplize. The room next to it is painted in Sea Salt, and you can see that Nob Hill Sage is definitely greener, with a warmer tone.
