Can you post a picture? Color descriptions can be very subjective and the actual space can be an important factor, as well :)

Take a look at @benjaminmoore OC-52 Gray Owl or HC-170 Stonington Gray

Gray owl has a green undertone though, so I don't know about that one

Sorry, it is a new house under construction. Ceilings are 10 ft. Molding, trim, and door are oak. Floor is tiger wood. The sink is cranberry and clear glass - not solid.

The sorry reponse was to the request for a picture.

It's a powder room - have fun with it with fun wallpaper! What's the style of your home?

Hodge podge, or as a friend more elegantly called it - eclectic. The architectural style is 1930's arts and crafts. Most of the paint colors in the main rooms are fairly neutral blues, greens, and grey tones as we have several distinctive pieces of art. The only rooms with bold colrs are parlour and dining room which are spiced plum. I am looking at art deco ligth fixtures for the powder room. I agree with the concept of having fun in a powder room and was thinking about a light amethyst, but wondered if that would be too many colors. Wall paper is definately worth considering.

I love the idea of using paint on the ceiling, treating it as the 5th wall. As long as you have decent height to the room (9ft or above), then a deep ceiling could be all the drama you need. Consider Love Affair (1266) by Benjamin Moore with Revere Pewter (HC-172) walls. To help showcase your ceiling, crown molding adds a nice touch.

DI, LLC: Thanks. I had not thought of that. I looked at those colors on line and plan to see them in person. You do not happen to they are definately a possiblity. You do not happen to know the color used on the walls in this photo?

I'm picturing a dark, dramatic color like a dark putty or beige but then I came across this powder room pic and pictured these jewel tone walls with your cranberry glass sink and it sounded like it fit what you describe above ...
