Remodelled bath - what color to paint walls?
grace g
I have a pretty small bathroom. The floors and shower are tiled beige w/ the same color grout. There’s a decorative border of black glass mosaic tile in the shower. The vanity is oak with a black & beige granite top. Bathtub & toilet are white. Shower curtain is beige. Shower rings are shiny black acrylic squares (matches waste can & tissue cover). Two small bath mats are black. There are no windows. What wall color would best complement this scheme?

Sage or celery green would work or a pale yellow. With no natural light, you need to stay with soft colors.

As I was reading and you listed the colors this idea came to mind. I would incorporate the beige white and black into my walls also. How? I would paint the base color all white then take a paint roller with a medium texture (available at major hardware stores) and go over it with the beige. Then another roller with just a slight amount of depth with the black. It would give it a look of granite and combine all three colors. Then for a bright touch add some Burgundy or eggplant accents. That would give it an elegant touch and really take away from the “small’ bathroom ” look!

since you have a small bathroom you would want a bright color to open up the room to make it seem bigger,yellow is good if there are windows but if not not, maybe a bright blllue or a bright green, there is a green called stem green in bejamin moore paint deck online that i think u would like

This may be a small bathroom, but it sounds very nice and classy. I would actually suggest you go with white walls. You are working with three colors: white, beige and black. You already have enough beige. And black for a wall,is just wrong, so that leaves white. You can incorporate the other two colors in a bathroom print or two depending on wall space. Sometimes basic neutral colors are the right choice for a room.

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the “painted” rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:
It sounds like your color scheme is very neutral so far, so any color would coordinate well. I think a color called “oak barrel” (# 7714) would highlight the beige & black beautifully - give it a natural, peaceful feel.
