I was just on the Wirecutter site looking at towel reviews and they said Frontgate had the largest selection of colors they had seen.

Heading over there now!

I would agree with Frontgate. I bought an odd taupe color bath mat a few years ago and it is very nice. Still looks new.

Remember it doesn't have to match, it just has to "go"

I don't think you can beat high quality, fluffy white towels! Very chic... if towels can be such a thing as chic!

I had a similar wall color in the guest bathroom in our old house, and had fluffy white towels as well and it looked great. I did occasionally vary with chocolate brown which looked quite nice too. I think a coral could be nice ...but overall I would say white would be the no brainer and you will likely love it.

I agree if you are going for a serene look you can not go wrong with white. In my former home our guest bedroom was painted sea salt. My accent colors were a rusty orange and a deep teal blue green.

Nothing compares to white towels.

Thanks all. I do plan on white, which was my thought when I chose the paint. But....wouldn't it be nice to have a close matched trim color on towels and accessories?

How do you feel about monogrammed towels, etc.? Perhaps you could find a nice thread color match. I am also fond of these little tissue box covers...

Ruby, good idea. My next-door neighbor in Florida is a quilter and also loves to embroider.

From the few encounters (back and forth with the reno projects) we seem to get along.

But.......I don't feel she is a friend yet and certainly wouldn't ask her to do this for free.

Although I am sure she would.

Maybe at some point, I can work things out with her. I am sure she would stop something embroidered in my home and ask about it.

Question - are you hanging towels out just to be hanging towels out - or will these towels be used? I personally am not one to have towels out - just to be there. Of course we have hand towels available in each bathroom (to be used) and I do have a monogrammed hand towel hanging in one bathroom. Otherwise, towels are out-of-sight. I hope I'm making sense. I wouldn't hang towels out "just for looks". I agree with not matching. Your paint is a lovely color and white towels would be pretty. We have rugs in our bathrooms and as I said, towels (which are used) are out of sight. For us, no white towels because I use as little bleach as possible. I know I'm over explaining! LOL I guess what I'm saying is bring your colors in with other accessories, not towels, etc.

Yes, Tina, we have only hand towels out, too. I never know what to use in other people's bathrooms when the bath towels are hanging nearby, looking all pristine and big, and I wouldn't use a bath towel in my own bathroom if I thought guests had used it. Seems odd to me to have bath towels hanging when guests are expected.

I think white is the perfect color for your bathroom, eld.

I put only things out that people will use. When I have a gathering though, I will put throw away paper towels for those who would prefer to not use the towel everyone else would be using.

@eld6161, I think for towels you are going to need to have them machine embroidered instead of hand embroidered. Having to do a satin stitch by hand on terry is tough. Frontgate towels include free monogramming. Perhaps you could talk to customer service about a color that would blend with your Sea Salt walls. They seem to have a wide variety of colors and a nice selection of fonts.

Bbstx, neighbor has a really high tech sewing machine that she uses to embroider.

That’s a good idea to see what Frontgate can do.

Cool! I misunderstood. I saw “quilter” and “embroidery” and thought “hand-work.”

I love the Frontgate “Ladder Stitch” towels, but I think you would have to use the Dune trim or the Pewter trim to blend with Sea Salt.

Or white on white...
