The first color that comes to mind is BM Edgecombe Gray. With no windows and a dark floor and vanity, I would paint the walls a light color. The name is deceiving because it doesn't look gray at all, instead it is more of a creamy color and would be a nice compliment to the other materials in the room.

That sounds like a great color. I was thinking something along the lines of a real gray/blue very pale in color, but KMCG85's color sounds very nice.

Make sure it's a color that reflects light well. Sherwin Williams shows the light reflective percentage on the back of their color samples. I used SW Misty in my master because of the low light situation in there. It's a Silver Blue. I had it customed mixed by BM.

Personally I'd go with a rich jewel tone. Something in a wine or burgundy. Then put in some shiny silver accessories and some crystal light fixtures (sconces or ceiling fixture). You'd have a perfect little jewel box.

But then I'm the one with the purple kitchen.

Uuuhhhh....helllloooo! Pbrisjar, I have not seen your purple kitchen. Are you holding out on us? :-)

I think the OP really does need to see a photo...

(and so do i!)

I would do a soft gold like EK Mustard Seed or a more intense gold like Citron Paint color Lantana. Both paints are full spectrum so they have a glow that regular paints do not possess. The golds would warm up the space and add sunshine to a place with no windows.

Well, I'm going to go in the other direction and suggest a not-too-bright orange or apple green.

Sorry I can't suggest specific brands or paint names. There are no painted walls in my house. :-)

I painted my bathroom a really soft buttercream it looks really nice with my espresso cabinets. I,ll see if I can get a pic posted today of the combo. Another color I really like with the espresso is green or a soft blue.

Ummm, Amy, so glad you posted because the lightbulb went of in my head and I would also suggest YOUR signature color, EK's Amy's Sarasota Sand!

amysrq: No, I'm not holding out. I've randomly posted pics quite a few times = mostly hidden in other threads. It's far from complete so I've not done a "formal" spread (we are DIY and dealing with major life issues on top of just general living so it's taking quite a while).

This pic is a bit out of date (backsplash, potfiller and stove are now in). There's more in the album below and in a few others.

Here is a link that might be useful: Here's the main kitchen album

Thanks for all the great ideas, edgecomb grey is the way I am leading to date! I have not had great success is choosing yellow/gold/cream colours in the past.
Still looking for ideas!

I have a bottle of Smoking Loon cabernet sitting on the espresso cabs in my kitchen, and the gold/orange label looks absolutely fantastic with the cabs. I think it would be a bold but wonderful choice in a bath, particularly a basement bath, where I would want to put a warm color. So, stop by the liquor store on your way to the paint store. The wine's not so bad, either, for an inexpensive bottle.
