Paint Design Dilemma Bathrooms

Need help picking bathroom paint color

4 years ago

Can't decide on new paint color for under construction boys bathroom. Currently SW Filmy Green which was to offset the dreadful old blush floor tile and pink swirl vanity top. South facing so very sunny - old color appeared almost a white with a slight green tint. Soon to be navy vanity with white top and grey floor like this:

Outside hallway is Sea Salt so want to use something different and not a fan of white. I only like greys with a slight green/blue to them. Have Sea Salt, Comfort Grey and Silver Strand in my house. This is what I've come up with so far. Thoughts? Ideas? New Colors?

Do you have the vanity already? Do you know the paint colour on it or can you find a match close to it with a paint deck? The easiest thing is to follow the paint colour suggestions that the paint companies offer on their websites.

For example. The vanity looks a little like Benjamin Moore North Sea CC-932.

North Sea CC-932 | Benjamin Moore · More Info

The suggested coordinating colours are:
Blue Heather 1620 | Benjamin Moore · More Info

BM Blue Heather - 1620
Weimaraner AF-155 | Benjamin Moore · More Info

BM - Weimaraner - AF-155
Meadow Mist 936 | Benjamin Moore · More Info

BM - Meadow Mist - 936

Based on the BM coordinating colours, I think the SW Rain might be a really nice choice. But the best thing is to get some samples and try it in the space.

I own the vanity but have yet to see in person. Looks like a dark navy. Love that top color Blue Heather. Thanks!

I just purchased a home and I am looking to paint my guest bathroom to get rid of the bright blue shown on the picture. The red tile makes it difficult for me to find the perfect paint color. If anyone has any suggestion on a specific paint color, please let me know : ) Thank you! Image link:

The Sweet Caroline is really pretty once it's up - I'm using it in my new baby's nursery now I liked it so much. Her room is still in progress (as is the girls' bathroom). I think it would go really in your 6-year old's room with the Betsy comforter, and it's a slightly more "mature" color so might work better with an older child. I have two girls (4 and 5 mos.) - it sounds like we're kind of doing the same thing in terms of linking their rooms. The baby has green (Sweet Caroline), 4 year old has the pink room, and the Jack-and-Jill bathroom in between is a blue-grey color (Sherwin Williams North Star - SW 6246). I did hex tiles on the floor, too, but with black accents. I decided to go a little more neutral with the bathroom since both the girls' rooms are pretty theme-y (once I finally finish them!). Aren't little girls fun?! Between decorating and buying cute clothes, though, I'm going broke, LOL.

Thanks for the suggestions! I would love to paint the vanity eventually! However I live with someone who is against that option *insert eye roll* and anything other than painting the walls as this won't be our forever home

After a fail in the first color picked, a generic grey, I figured I'd ask people with experience. I want a light color that will flow well with the green in the tile. Thanks in advance, a man who need help.

I also am looking for the right paint color. I have a kitchen open to a southern exposure living room dining room area. No windows in the kitchen. Love to go with same colors as INDIAF above in my house.. kitchen cabinets will be painted navy lower cabinets and uppers cream or white. My concern is my tan color tile floor with a green undertone per the manufacturer throughout the house. Exact cabinet paint color not chosen yet. Will navy, cream cabinets go with my floor. Any suggestions? Suggestions for wall/ cabinet shades.
