Bathroom shower tile and countertop don’t match.

6 years ago

I had Tarsus Almond tile installed in Shower. Like it. Delicatus white granite installed today for countertop. Like it. Issue is it doesn’t match. Countertop looks way more gray and a lot less white and creamy than it did at the granite yard. Now, unable to afford to do anything to fix it, I’m so upset and don’t know if there’s any way to make it somehow look half way pulled together. Fixtures are oil rubbed bronze. Yes, a shower curtain will cover most of the issue but don’t know how to pick one that goes with both things and have paint dilemma also. I painted a sample of Benjamin Moore Pale Oak on wall but totally questioning everything now. I should have just gotten a white countertop but too late now. Is there any hope?

"Try different temperature LED light bulbs"

You might buy one of these Commercial Electric NS01aA10ER1-259 (for example) which have selectable color temperatures. Screw the connector into a portable lamp and try several color temperatures to see if one of them makes the tile and countertop look more consistent.

Maybe another wall color would help. The entire room looks rather beige now.

I wonder if changing the vanity color would help?

Have you done a search of this granite? I just googled, ‘delicatus white granite bathroom’ and lots of images came up ... lots of different vanity and wall colors. Maybe it’d give you some ideas.

But hopefully our color experts will see this and can advise. :)

Try different temperature LED light bulbs - They come in varying ranges - and maybe someone will advise on the specifics, but adjusting the lighting can help tremendously.

The other issue is the floor doesn't match the tile in the bath or the granite. And the other problem is you have 3 busy surfaces not playing together. Not sure what to suggest at this point. Hopefully someone else has a suggestion.

Maybe find a solid color shower curtain picking up the brown in the cabinet?
