Three greens, this is unexpected.

They did not include conventional alcove tubs (which I think was a mistake) for their Anniversary Peachblow and Spring Green line.

But three more archive colors have shown up with almost no fanfare, including on a cast iron alcove tub. This is quite a commitment from the production end of things.

I would 100% do an Aspen Green bathroom, because I think it's a soothing kind of neutral color. I would pass on the Fresh Green, and I thing the Teal would be extremely high maintenance.

    Ooohhh that Aspen Green is really nice! I don’t care for the others as much.

    I agree! The Aspen is wonderful.

    Even though green is my favorite color I don’t think I would commit to a green bathroom fixture. While the aspen green is the most neutral of the choices it is still too close to mint green for my taste. Paradoxically I love the vintage mint green and black tiled bathrooms as well as the pink and black ones. 🤷‍♀️

    As trends come and go, some more alluring than others it seems to me to spend money on small decorative items to carry the latest fad and leave the pricier, less likely to change items to classics. Bathroom fixtures in white are not off putting to anyone. 15 years ago I eradicated a 70s avocadoed fixtured bathroom and would never ever impose that on future owners of this home.

    I'm with kswl. I think green is too specific to put into major fixtures in a bath and would rather bring it into other, more easily changed elements. But of the 3, aspen would be preferred as I think it would take longer to look 'dated'.


    I can't help but think of all these colors I've seen in bathrooms that, at the time, were 'the bomb' but a number of years later, look awful...my GF had lime green fixtures in her bath. Baby blue, turquoise, butternut yellow with brown, black with pink...


    I always remember my MIL who painted her bathroom green and hated it...said it made her always look nauseous when she looked in the mirror as it added a green cast to her complexion.

    The Aspen Green wasn't exactly a fad, between Argent, its almost identical predecessor and Aspen, this shade was offered from 1952 to 1987--(35 years).And Peachblow (Kohler's "pink" was offered for 39 years, followed by short lived Barbie like pink (Champagne), followed by Innocent Blush, until 2012. So Kohler offered a pink suite of some sort for 66 years.


    I am surprised by reintroduction of the Fresh Green and Teal which were short-lived.

    I saw an ad on FB for the Ironridge in Fresh Green so they are doing targeted ad serving.

    Coming from someone with green kitchen cabinets, none of these specific greens appealed to me.

    I have a more utilitarian+accent approach to bathrooms. But I could have gotten behind (or on, or in) some of the pinks.

    The first house I lived in, my parents’ bath was that taupy-beige of the ’50s, kids’ bath was blue, powder room also blue. Their next house had gads 7 bathrooms. We identified them by color: the pink bathroom, blue bathroom, green bathroom, beige bathroom (probably more biscuit). The boys’ bath was brown, but we just called it the boys’ bathroom, because ick to the alternative name.

    I love the Aspen green and I also love the colorful retro bathrooms of yesteryear. One of the bathrooms in our second house had aqua fixtures - 60s era. Beige tile though so not as lovely as the earlier ones that also had the great colored wall tile.

    Even though green is not my favorite color, somehow a hue similar to the Fresh Green shown has become prominent in my decor lately, but I would never choose a bathroom fixture in anything but white. Even though there are shades of white, to me, it’s easier to coordinate white fixtures from different sources than most other colors. Biscuit runs a close second.

    Teal is one of my favorite colors, but I would not want teal bathroom fixtures. Same with the greens, but Aspen looks nice online.

    I like retro bathrooms too. While I dislike minty-ness in paint, I'm quite in love with an Aspen Green tub.

    Foam green - that same house that had the aqua tub was owned by a decorator and she filled the place with wallpaper circa 1980s. The dining room had beautiful paper that she described as foam green - that description came to mind when I saw the Aspen green tub. I've always liked that color - picked it for my office at work before I retired and I have it in my home office now - a nice, muted, peaceful shade of green.
