Need Paint Color Opinions (Reno for 2 Bathrooms)

Hey guys

What paint color would look good with this vanity and flooring? I think the blue I painted before wont look that good.

(Also 80% of my house is painted in anew gray, I really like it. Would it be bad if I kept that color for my bathrooms?)

I sort of like that blue. I would go with a lighter greyish color for the flooring then. This is just personal preference, but that tile looks a little "busy" for me.

I'd go for a stronger color, oddly, the blue on the sink box is about what I'd use.

Whatever color SWMBO says goes well. Talk about a no brainer.

The Anew Grey would look good if continued into the bath. Our entire condo is painted a similar grey, including the bath.

Was going to suggest something like:

Clark+Kensington Black Chiffon N-C15

We are currently building our new house and I l o v e designing, selecting, and decorating!
Based on the tile selection, I'd go either light grey or a white that matches the whites in the tile.

Edit Wallpaper won't work since i guess those are true bathrooms. I'd also go with something different than the rest of the house, like a light blue or aqua since the brown and tile are neutral colors.

Thats kind of what I'm thinking too, I just didnt want it to be too much around the house. I think I will go with this color since I already have it and take a chance. Worst case I just have to repaint with everything installed.

Stick with the grays! more nuetral color and i think will work well with that vanity! i used Gate Gray Marquee for most of the house in a Satin finish. In my other house i kinda went with different colors and it was fine for the the first year or two but got old real quick. so this time around i went Nuetrals.

Personally I'm not a fan of white but it seems to be popular. I'd probably go with a light grey. It can be a different shade than the rest of the house if you want to limit how many rooms have the same color. I'd stay away from anything too dark in the bathroom unless there is a ton of light coming in.

FWIW we remodeled both of our bathrooms with a similar but slightly lighter color palette. Wall color: Benjamin Moore Owl Gray.

If you're looking for a very clean lighter blue with a hint of gray, try Benjamin Moore Quiet Moments.

Per my prior post, here's Benjamin Moore Quiet Moments.

Also FWIW I come from a family of designers and these were their recommendations.

You can go with a light taupe color with a hint of blue in it to disperse the concentration of brown, or blue with a hint of beige
