Advise - Need to select new bathroom paint tonight!

10 years ago

Having a heck of a time with paint color for master bathroom. Every time I think I have a color I like I then see it at another time in the day and I hate it.

We want a "greige" color (beige/grey) leaning more toward the beige than the grey. We don't want anything with a blue, green, or purple undertone

Colors I like during day looks green at night, colors I like at night look blush during day. Had to pick a color this weekend (day) for contractor and in a rush selected Benjamin Moore Tapestry Beige. Contractor painted it today and we hate it...husband says it looks like greenboard.

Does anyone have any color recommendations? Husband wants Revere Pewter, but I am concerned it may be too dark. Looked also at Edgecomb Grey but during the day it had a blush undertone. I am so lost.

Need to figure something out tonight if possible so contractor can repaint tomorrow and we don't delay the job. Ugh!

Bathroom details: Small 7.5'x7' bathroom. One window, Cree soft white LED lights. Bathroom has Calcatta marble floor, white subway shower with glass walls, 82" espresso cabinet running one wall and and white wainscotting around remaining room. So the paint will be in a very small area of the room.

For what it's worth, we chose Hot Spring Stones for my daughter's room, as she wanted the greige too. It's more beige than gray. It's the lightest one on a three color chip, but you could always have them lighten it up a bit.

I painted a revere pewter sample on our bedroom wall, and it's very light. In my daughter's room, it's darker, with a bluish undertone depending on the time of day - too gray and drab. Many of the grays are going to have the blue undertone, and many that lean more toward beige are going to have that rosy undertone! The Revere Pewter was much prettier in my room. But, my husband vetoed it, adamant about wanting a more true blue in there.
Good luck.
