Best Colors For Bathroom
- Sophisticated off-white paint colors are always a great choice. Favorites include Chantilly Lace OC-65 and Ballet White OC-9.
- Soft pinks and blush hues such as First Light 2102-70, from the Color Trends 2020 palette and Cream Puff 2174-70, are popular alternatives to off-whites.
- Greens can be incredibly soothing in a bathroom, bringing the refreshing tones of outside, in. Use becoming hues in your bathroom like Van Alen Green HC-120.
- Blues promote a sense of tranquility in any space. We love November Skies 2128-50, a soothing silvery blue that always looks fresh and crisp.
- Keeping a similar undertone from room to room creates a soothing vibe. Choose paint colors for your bathroom that have the same cool or warm undertone of adjoining rooms for a seamless visual flow.

Master Bathroom Paint Color Ideas
An area where 'me time' takes top priority, the master bathroom is the most personal space in your home.
Create a spa-like mood with paint colors that nurture rest and relaxation.
Calming hues include soft grays like Metropolitan AF-690, our Color of the Year 2019, and soft pastels like Palladian Blue HC-144, Italian Ice Green 2035-70 and Gray Cloud 2126-60.
Small Bathroom, Big Look
A modestly-sized space offers an invitation to play with color, and small bathrooms are no different. Saturated colors pop in small places, as seen here with Old Claret 2083-30.
Deeper, richer colors, combined with the right lighting can bring outsized ambience to a small space.
Have fun: Try painting the ceiling an unexpected colour such as Fruit Shake 2088-60 or Windmill Wings 2067-60.
Consider painting inset towel shelving or other bathroom accents with Black Ink 2127-20 or Deep Space 2125-20—two dark hues that provide a striking contrast against white or off-white tile and walls.
The Soft, Fresh Feeling of Matte Walls
Good news! A gloss or semi-gloss paint finish isn’t your only option when it comes to avoiding the unsightly effects of bathroom humidity.
The matte finish of AURA® Bath & Spa also provides exceptional durability, color retention and mildew resistance in high-humidity environments.
A matte finish delivers a sense of softness to bathrooms where hard surfaces like tile, mirrors, and metal fixtures abound. Committed to higher sheens in the bathroom?
Keep in mind that a paint with a higher finish or sheen may create an overabundance of shine, especially when combined with typical bathroom surfaces.
