Warmer paint color to go with beige bathroom tile?
Hi all, I have a design client who is redoing her bathroom. We have repainted the cabinets Ben Moore Simply White and are using polished nickel hardware throughout. The tile is staying as is, and as you can see from the photos, its tones are quite warm. (Apologies for the poor photo quality.) The grout is an earthy brown. We would like to find a color that's sophisticated and clean, but so far the ones we have tried are too cool. The below photo shows Ben Moore Old Prairie on the left and BM Edgecomb Gray on the right, both of which are clearly too cool. The Old Prairie actually looks a bit blue in this space. I am considering trying Ben Moore Acadia White or Pale Oak, but wonder if anyone has any ideas for something else that might look great. What I don't want is a drab beige color that matches/blends with the tile. Thank you for any ideas!

Comments (14)I kinda like the wood doors in our house. It looks darker in that photo than it really is. And they go with the mid-century modern-ness of the exterior doors that I love.

Comments (3)Thank you both, The flower will be open but I feel those colors are very intense... I am more into neutrals @Beth H. yes the trim is ugh... and that white does not help. The main blcoker for any major work is doing anything messy while we are stuck working from home with baby & toddler. So painting is a quick fix. When I chatted about something like that with the local well-regarded handyman he was pretty open that noone can guarantee they won't damage bath surround tile if removing half-wall. Maybe if we just remove tile around the vanity / next to the door it will work. Def would require fixing the wall. I'll need to get some quotes as def not DYI (painting / installing vanity we can do ourselves)...See MorePAINT IN BATHROOM w beige tiles
Comments (5)I agree that it looks like travertine. I lived in El Paso for 7 years and travertine was everywhere. One of my favorite off-white colors to use with it is Capris Coast from Benjamin Moore. In context of most colors of travertine it's not too yellow or peach or "tan"....See More

5 years agoSimply White has a yellow tone. The tile has an orange tone. If you stick with colors with tones of yellow to orange, no matter how light or gray they are, they will work. 903 Pirates Cove Peach is a near match to the tile. I split the difference in tones between the tile and Simply White, then increased the saturation to get both 176 Goldtone and AF-305 Ylang Ylang from Benjamin Moore. Below is a photo showing all these colors on your wall.
I cannot say that my color rendition is exact, nor can I say that your monitor will produce these colors the same way mine does. However, I found the color names for those I produced via an online program called Easy RGB.samantha_burggrabe thanked mindshiftsamantha_burggrabe
