Bathroom color

We have a small master bath. It was just tiled and the tile is greyer than I thought it would be so the color I chose originally wont work. Tile looked whiter in the sample but in a smaller space it looks greyer. I live the color but need paint suggestions. Don't want to do white or too dark bc the space will seem even smaller. Any suggestions?

Re: Bathroom color

What color family were you considering?

It's hard to say without seeing the tile... is it white with a greyish cast or is it a true grey?

My first thought was a light green. I have BM Saybrook Sage in one bath, and my living room/dining room is also a pale green (BM Par Four). I saw a BM green with grey undertones... I think it's Aganthus Green?

I like yellow with grey, but more of a dark grey (almost charcoal), which is doesn't sound like your tiles are.

I would say a light cream. I know it sounds weird, but it looks really nice

Let me find a pic for you if I can find one

I would personally avoid anything like gray or blue I think it would be too much

here..just to get an idea of gray & cream together

It can look so rich and nice!

even a yellow (maybe more toned down) will brighten it up and make it look larger

This is actually the color I have in my hallways...its BM Ladyfinger. Here it's shown with grey/blueish curtains.External Image


Hope this helps!!Chat Icon

I love home stuff Chat Icon
I think blue can look good with grey but if you want to brighten up a room and make it look bigger, cream is a safe option.

I could repaint all my rooms yearly. I get bored quickly and you can change a room so much with just a little paint.

Yellow and gray is very hot right now. Purple and gray is great too.
