| Hi Everyone,
I just painted my bathroom the perfect blue gray color, or so I thought. I did everything I could to be sure it was what I wanted. I painted a sample on the wall and everything. I ended up going with Santorini Blue and it turned out to be much to bright of a blue in my bathroom.
What I really want is the perfect balance of blue/gray, with maybe a little more emphasis on the gray. My bathroom is very small, and it's the only full bath in our house, so I don't want people to have to squint when they come into the bathroom because of it's brightness.
I was reading some other posts on here about BM Nantucket Fog. Has anyone used this in their bathroom? Do you have other suggestions for the perfect blue/gray color. I see it on HGTV all the time and no one ever tells what the color is. I prefer to use a paint I get get locally at BM or Lowes.
Thanks! |

| Nantucket fog will read a little more green grey than I think you want. I have been very happy with beach glass by BM. |

| BM Aura/Affinity paint--Constellation is bluer than grey but not an in-your-face blue. We used it in our MB and plan to use it at full or 50% strength in our Master Bedroom as well. |

| Take a look at Sherwin Williams Underseas SW6214. February's issue of Better Homes and Gardens has it pictured on page 48. It looks pretty, but I don't know how it compares to Santorini. Sherwin Williams will mix samples for $4.99 for almost a quart of paint. |
