Suggestion for lighter Wall Paint Color?

6 years ago

I know you used Sherwin Williams SW 7015 Repose Gray for the walls. My bathroom does not have a window and is smaller than this. Could Sherwin Williams SW 7015 Repose Gray still work, or can you suggest a lighter shade? There is a good amount of lighting in the bathroom.

Hi there! Repose grey is a pretty light color in the grand scheme of things, without going totally white. I think that would still work well, but I would definitely recommend doing a paint sample first to see how it interacts with the light in your bathroom. Another color to sample might be worldly gray to compare between. Those would be my suggestions. Hope this helps!
