Gray Paint Assistance - Bathroom

7 years ago
Remodeling the first floor bathroom in our bungalow. Feeling hot and cold about the paint color (SW Pussywillow) and would love some feedback re: what color(s) might be a better choice. Have SW Collanade gray on the walls of the bedrooms and office on the same floor of the house (LOVE!) and thought it would be an easy win to go a couple shades darker in the bathroom. Seems to be reading much warmer/browner than anticipated.

Would love opinions: REPAINT? Light? Dark? Medium Gray? SOS!

Vanity will be white with Ceaserstone Concrete counter. Plumbing will all be from the Moen Align group. Mirror and lighting from Gatco Latitude II collection. N

Floor tile is 12x24 Theoretical Ceramic tile in Imaginative Gray with TEC Silverado grout. Walls are Rittenhouse Arctic White Matte tiles with TEC DeLorean Gray grout.

Posted a pic from a bedroom where you can see the dark wood hall floors and the Collanade Gray that’s not reading as warm.

Thanks!
Looks great!

    If you like the color family, go lighter with Modern Grey, SW 7632.

    I like the color provided you have enough lighting. With white towels this room will look great

    I agree with Beverly... yes to white towels also.

    I don't mind the color, but personally I like bathrooms to have a fresher, lighter look - especially if this is a full bath and not just a powder room. I would try light blues or greenish blues.

    I would go with whatever the red haired guy that's checking it out says ;-) Seriously I like the color, agree with Beverly.

    Thanks guys. I just laughed out loud at "go with whatever the red haired guy that's checking it out says". It's a full bath and not just a powder room (see additional picture). With dark counters going in, will probably want to go lighter with the paint. Just going to wait until the vanity, counter, and lighting are installed before making any decisions... been eyeing Sherwin Williams Big Chill (sorry in advance to the painter if I change my mind!). Thanks for the tip on the white towels - agree these would be a great addition.

    1. Shower tile 2. The floor tile is WAY lighter than it looks in some of these pictures 3. Shower tile goes to ceiling. Will likely get a white shower curtain (?). All fixtures will be chrome. The window is the only natural light. There will be a 3-bulb fixture above the vanity/mirror.

    Thanks again for all your help/thoughts/feedback.

    I think the paint color is fine but truthfully it’s rather boring! Such a nice bathroom deserves something a bit more ...

    I would try a sample of the paint you used in the office and bedroom. Since you love it, and its a big lighter and seems to be a bit happier paint by what I can see, it may look great in your bathroom.. I dont like what you put on there. Its too brown, and looks a bit lifeless. Your new bathroom, is going to be very pretty.

    I know these may look more mauve on screen but these purple/ grays would look very beautiful with your colonnade gray , the darker gray tile and white tile. It may seem out of your comfort zone but pick up a paint chip and see how it looks in here.

    A few before and afters (so far). Can not overstate how poor lighting is in this room. Keep in mind the light fixtures aren’t installed in the after shots yet (all light coming from ceiling vent). Becoming less stressed about the color...

    I just painted both of my bathrooms in Big Chill. It’s subtle and a beautiful backdrop for many different colors of towels.
