Do these colors go together?
This is the color scheme I'm trying to go for, but I don't know how to get there with the right accents I guess.
Here is my bathroom
Color scheme (eta: color scheme only, don't mind the color names and where)
Here are towels I bought, but I'm not sure of them.
Should I just buy ice blue towels and buy dark brown rugs and then put some accents of ice blue and brown around the bathroom? I will be putting a shelf over the toilet and probably two pictures above the towel rack. Any thoughts would be great. TIA!

Re: Do these colors go together?
What about a more "mocha" colored towel...I wouldn't give up on that color scheme yet but I think the brown of those towels might be a little bit too deep and doesn't harmonize with the tone of the other colors in the room as well.
Nice bathroom though!

I think the chocolate is too dark. I would find solid light blue towels and maybe a mocha (as the PP suggested) as well.

Re: Do these colors go together?
I have the same towels
I used them in my white and lite blue bath.
ETA: I would stick more with the greens or tan colors.

IMO, I would go with a lighter brown or taupe if anything and maybe light blue or sage greeen accent finger tip towels.

Re: Do these colors go together?
I pretty much knew the brown/blue towels were a little too much, but i just wasn't sure. well back they go to the store and I will look for just light blue and tan. I think that might look really nice. Thanks for the ideas ladies!

Re: Do these colors go together?
I'm not crazy about the towels, but I do like the color selection.
I would do single towels in both colors and layer them. You also need a piece above the towel bar to pull those colors together.
You could also do a small basket with fingertip towels and candles on the vanity.
Good luck!

Yeah I'm looking for something over the towel rack, just haven't found anything yet. I like the small basket with fingertip towels and candles on the vanity idea. Thanks!

Welcome! It's a beautiful bathroom and once you have it all together, it'll be what you imagined!

Re: Do these colors go together?
The color scheme definitely works - I think the towels are just too much of a contrast - If the towel was blue with a brown border, it would work a bit better .........-
Try to mix up your complimenting colors in solids (or prints if you can find them) to bring small touches of the additional colors into the room -

I think the blue is too icy to be honest. I actually like the chocolate but I would tend more to keeping green, taupe and cream accents.
