Paint color advice for Primary Bath.

6 months ago
last modified: 6 months ago



This will be our floor. The vanity and vanity top, along with the shower tile, are white. The mirror, lights, and faucets are black. I'm stumped. We will be painting our bedroom and getting new carpet. I have a deep olive green comforter, if that matters.

Any suggestions? I was going to use October Mist, but that reads almost pastel in the rooms. We have east and west-facing windows.

    I saw a similar tile used in a bathroom at an open house for a new construction home, about 10 years ago. I think this was an Ann Sacks porcelain tile that has since been discontinued. I do not know the paint color they used, it looks like a light beige (matches the color of the wall tiles) with white on the baseboard.


    I see this tile used more often in laundry rooms than in bathrooms.

    I think I would paint the walls a darker olive and paint the bedroom introduce a green gray neutral on the walls.

    Love this olive and navy combination


    This is also pretty and shows how to use neutrals with the navy and olive green.

    BM Winds Breath might be pretty with the olive green.




    I have also always loved Wedgewood Gray with olive greens

    Thanks, Jennifer. I never thought of navy and olive.

    I think that's beautiful tile.

    I was thinking a pale blue gray but I love the wedgewood gray that Jennifer shared above. I remember staring at that color in my last house, but it was too dark for the room. I think that looks great with the olive green.

    The pale gray blue I used in my master bath is SW North Star and I do love it. I'm really loving blues and greens together.

    @Jennifer Hogan, do you have the manufacturer and color names from the first picture you posted? I cannot get that combo out of my mind!

    I don't, but I used SW color snap to find their closest matches.

    Hard to make recommendations without seeing anything.


    I'd consider using the olive color only as an accent color in the two rooms. I don't think I would commit to painting the walls that color. Select art for the walls with the same color






    Keep the room simple and use the green in the art or seating. NOT on the walls.

    @BeverlyFLADeziner Currently, there’s nothing to show for the bath since it’s been completely gutted. I was hoping to paint the space before bringing everything back in. It’s a very small primary bathroom. I’m considering a green color to create a more cohesive look, as I’m struggling to find a neutral that complements the cabinets and trim. Additionally, I’m having difficulty deciding on a wall color for the bedroom. I have Benjamin Moore Decorators White trim throughout the house and would like to maintain that. I prefer not to paint the walls with a bold color; instead, I’d like a neutral shade.
