Please help with bathroom color

16 years ago

We just finished a mini remodel (facelift) in our upstairs guest bath. I replaced the counters with a remnant of sea-foam green granite and DH painted the vanity an olivey green that matches the granite very well. Fixtures are polished nickel. The problem is the wall color. I wanted a light room overall, so we tried BM Barely beige but it was just too light. Went down the strip and settled on BM Squire Hill Buff. It matches the light tones in the granite just fine, but it does absolutely nothing for me. The room just looks kind of blah. The mirrors are polished nickel and the color does nothing for them. Originally I wanted a spa-like bathroom, but the olivey vanity just doesn't fit well with that. No way I can get DH to repaint the vanity, but I could repaint the walls. Looking for something more cheerful I guess, but it needs to work with the granite and the vanity. Squire Hill actually looks like a very sandy yellow on the wall. No zip in the room. Suggestions from any color gurus? I should mention that the floor tile is a sandy-rusty beige color. Thanks much.
