Bathroom Colors Guide
Redecorating or remodeling a bathroom leaves you facing a range of decisions - especially when it comes to choosing bathroom colors. You must choose the type of flooring to fixtures and furnishings. However, one of the very first things you'll want to think about is the bathroom paint colors, as these will help influence the appearance and design of everything else. To help you out before you buy paint online, here's a short list of some of the most popular colors & palettes for bathrooms (and how to use them).
Top Bathroom Colors Popular Bathroom Schemes
Neutrals
Neutral bathroom colors are timeless and will afford you more creativity with fixtures. Little Dipper is more interesting than the typical eggshell white, and works beautifully with a tight space that may not have much natural light. Pair vintage-inspired cabinets for a tranquil look, but steer clear of anything overly modern or industrial, which may seem cold. Light gray is modern enough to counteract décor that might otherwise look dated. The most important thing to remember when selecting a grey paint is to choose a tone that is light enough to keep the room open, but dark enough that it doesn't look like a dirty white. Keeping your ceiling molding or baseboards bright white will help distinguish the grey as a separate color.

Ash Gray
A light, ash gray bathroom color like In The Shadows can be an outstanding choice for more modern spaces and pairs perfectly with stylish marble or granite countertops. Still, it's usually a good idea to choose lighter colored wood or tiles for the floor and lighter colored countertops to keep the room from feeling too dark or gloomy. Another option is to use pure white trim, or use the same white on one wall to help break up the darker grey color. Combined with sleek modern lighting and furnishings, an ash grey bathroom color ensures a bathroom full of contemporary style and charm.

Powder Blue
Whether it is used on an accent wall or you paint the entire bathroom in this color, a powder blue bathroom color like Bit Of Heaven can be a fantastic choice for a more traditional feel. As powder blue is slightly darker than a sky blue, you'll want to avoid using too many dark furnishings or fixtures unless you add in more white or other lighter bathroom colors to balance it out. One option is to use white trim and fixtures combined with a darker grey for the countertop. When paired with vintage-style furnishings, a blue can create a classic, calm setting, ideal for spending hours relaxing and soaking in the bathtub surrounded by candlelight.

Goldenrod
This warm, rich yellow color is sure to instantly brighten up any darker bathroom, making it feel bigger and more inviting. For an added touch, you may want to consider using brass or bronze fixtures to add an extra layer of richness and style to a room painted in Turner's Yellow.
A yellow like Turner's Yellow usually works best when paired with white fixtures and white trim. The contrast between the warm yellow and bright white provides a handsome touch that can make the room feel comfortable and serene.
Royal Imperial Purple
If you were to ask around, many people would say that the best bathroom colors to use would be the ones that more easily hide wear and messes. If you're really looking for a thrilling change, one of the best bathroom colors is a shade of purple. In the spirit of hiding the unsightly in your bathroom, the choice of darker shades of purple such as Imperial Purple would be more contemporary. Historically, purple was hard to come by for anyone but the high society, so you and your guests will feel like royalty in your reimagined purple bathroom.
