Paint Home Decorating Design Dilemma

Need Help Choosing Wall Color to Match Tile

4 years ago

last modified: 4 years ago

i absolutely hate colors in the beige family however this tile is too new to replace. So I am looking for other color options that I can use on the walls that will match my tile color. I like greys and other neutral colors but I have no design sense whatsoever. Can anyone advise a color to use that would match my tile? This house is located in Florida if that helps

I see 3-4 colors in that flooring. I would pick the lightest of the 3 and go several shades lighter for the walls giving you an off white. The beige is currently soaking up all of the light so white paint will help reflect the light and brighten up the room.

Then consider painting the entire wall one color…Just afraid it might look “too dining room”. I like this color for the walls…B.M.smoke embers…from your photo, the wood tone has a gray undertone in the brown finish. Pottery Barn

It's your choice, but I don't care for the linear lines of the Latitude tile because of the linear lines in your vanity. Your other choice, Facade, goes better in my opinion. I even like the other two colors that it comes in, the grey and the taupe. If you really like linear line tile, you may like something like this https://www.missionstonetile.com/Hexagon-8-inch-Isla-Wood-Look-Tile-White-p/isaekhw8p.htm

Is that porcelain tile? Is it glue down vinyl? Where is it going (home? business? daycare???) And why would you believe black is the way to go?

A simple method is to measure the colour of the tile with a tiny device which connects to an app on your phone. It gives a lot of valuable detail, such as how Light it appears, how much Chroma it contains, (how near neutral or colourful) but perhaps most helpfully in to which Hue Family it belongs and where within that Hue Family it sits.

Not always the most obvious with neutrals. Once you know that, it makes finding harmonising paint colours so much easier. We can find the nearest available to a bang-on match to the floor tile, or similar only lighter/darker/warmer/cooler/more colourful/less colourful etc. Don’t need to guess anything.
