I meant to post a picture of the SW alabaster paint with the biscuit subway tile (made typo in above post on tile color) but accidentally posted the pure white with the white tile. Which might work, haha! Does anyone have pure white in a dimly lit bathroom? Does it look yellow or dingy? Was really leaning towards alabaster but wanted a whiter tile than the biscuit, but felt like white was maybe too white.

Do the vanity in natural wood. No Alabaster. Whiter wall paint. A bit of the blue penny for the niche. Interesting shower curtain and towels, with blues. Done.

a lot of colors going in a bathroom. Warms and Cools mixed?

passing along my 2 cents worth. you asked...

the sky blue penny sounds fun for the shower floor, I would use a larger format tile for the bathroom floor... less grout lines.

I love SW Alabaster, but yes, a bit dingy in a low light room.

I suggest Behr Day Spa... looks white but has a beautiful hint of blue in low light. I have used it in every bathroom I have ever re done.

A clean counterop in white(s) and chrome fixtures always makes for a clean shiny bath.

Allen+Roth has a great Quartz called Alluring (White with a Navy Blue veining)

There are many postings here from people who were unhappy with their tile installation when using penny tiles, so make sure you have an expert tile setter and not just a handyman who does tile. If they sell the same color in a hex that would save you installation anxiety. I agree with Lyn that it would be a better idea to do something larger format on the bathroom floor. I also agree with DeWayne that what you're considering sounds busy. A wood vanity would look nice, but in any case I think I would use a plain white countertop. I'm sure your child's favorite color is blue now, but remember they're young for a short period of time (sure seems like it once they get older) and if you overdo the blue you may come to regret it. I also don't like the champagne bronze too much. For a child's bathroom just use chrome. It's the least expensive finish and it defies trends as it has been used for decades. I think SW's Pure White is their most versatile white, so if it appears to work with everything else, use it. No one is going to notice you have a different white in one bathroom than elsewhere. Here are some ideas that use blue in a more restrained way. Where it's not quite blue, use your imagination. :-)

Look at Daltile Fabric Art in white for the room floor, and mosaic for the shower floor, and one wall, with a blue Mesmerist in Whimsy as the focal wall. Color match the vanity to the tile is the only way a blue vanity will work.

is that your granite in the faucet photo? I think the blue and white scheme would be nicer against a crisp white counter top (I also like chrome in blue/white baths but that’s just personal preference)

I have used Fabric Art many times. It is a great white tile for floors or walls. Not sold on the Whimsy blue tile. It is a bit too cliche baby boy blue. That cliche is something to avoid.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! We are renovating the entire house (have not moved in yet) so complete overhaul. That’s the granite we are going with for the laundry, guest bath and kid bath because it was one of the cheaper light granite options tbh. We are going Perla Santana quartz in the kitchen so trying to go with cheaper options in other rooms. Definitely going to pause on the penny tile as I don’t want too much going on and clashing. I’m thinking of just going with SW pure white for the cabinets, using the same wood like tile from the rest of the house ( pic attached of it because I can’t remember the name right now) and going with a more simple approach. Maybe doing a lighter warmer blue-green pop of color on walls instead of trying to make fun choices with tile? Side question, does anyone know of any color consultants with a quick turn around time? Would love to hire someone since I can’t seem to make up my mind but I don’t have a lot of time since the contractors will be painting soon.

"Does anyone have pure white in a dimly lit bathroom? Does it look yellow or dingy?"

The answer to a dimly lit bath is electricity.

Nothing and no color comes alive with inadequate lighting.

Please ditch the granite. Doesn't suit anything you are going for.

Find a nice nearly plain white quartz remnant top for the blue vanity or use better yet? Corian in a bright white . Lose the penny tile with two tons of grout for something larger. Use it shower walls and bathroom floor. Shower floor in a blue...white paint AND LIGHTING!!!!!!!!

Change the plumbing to polished chrome, pleeeze. It is the most "forever" finish and the easiest in any kids bath. A natural with crisp blues and white. Lighting, lighting lighting.!!

Start with the decisions that have been made.

Flooring - using the dark wood look tile throughout

Kitchen countertop Perla Santana

If you want white cabinets pick the white that works best with your flooring and countertop. Grab a bunch of samples. Does one look too gray, another look to yellow, another look kind of green or blue? Does one look too gray, another look to yellow, another look kind of green or blue?

Same concept as matching a shirt and tie or shirt and shorts when both have white. Two whites next to each other have to be in the same hue/chroma to look right together.

Once you find your white use the same white for your cabinets and trim.

If your doing white walls use the same for walls as well.

If your doing neutral walls pick one that works with the counter, floor and white.

Sampleze has a warm white and a cool white bundle that are most of the most popular whites.

Looking at your counter on the internet it seems that a warm white would be better than a cool white.

Finding the same neutrals as in your countertop will lead you to the right white.

Why would you ever cover up those great wood floors with plastic??? It will lead to rotting them out and ruining them.

These floors were only left in the entry way by previous owners. They had already covered them up with other flooring that ruined them.
