Warmer paint color to go with beige bathroom tile?
Hi all, I have a design client who is redoing her bathroom. We have repainted the cabinets Ben Moore Simply White and are using polished nickel hardware throughout. The tile is staying as is, and as you can see from the photos, its tones are quite warm. (Apologies for the poor photo quality.) The grout is an earthy brown. We would like to find a color that's sophisticated and clean, but so far the ones we have tried are too cool. The below photo shows Ben Moore Old Prairie on the left and BM Edgecomb Gray on the right, both of which are clearly too cool. The Old Prairie actually looks a bit blue in this space. I am considering trying Ben Moore Acadia White or Pale Oak, but wonder if anyone has any ideas for something else that might look great. What I don't want is a drab beige color that matches/blends with the tile. Thank you for any ideas!

7 years agoSimply White has a yellow tone. The tile has an orange tone. If you stick with colors with tones of yellow to orange, no matter how light or gray they are, they will work. 903 Pirates Cove Peach is a near match to the tile. I split the difference in tones between the tile and Simply White, then increased the saturation to get both 176 Goldtone and AF-305 Ylang Ylang from Benjamin Moore. Below is a photo showing all these colors on your wall.
I cannot say that my color rendition is exact, nor can I say that your monitor will produce these colors the same way mine does. However, I found the color names for those I produced via an online program called Easy RGB.samantha_burggrabe thanked mindshift- 7 years ago
