    Default ideas for paint color for bathroom

    I used a pale yellow in my bathroom it would work with violet or a pale green would look wonderful Both are almost neutrals so changing later would be easy.

    Well I had two pictures but ???

    I want the color to complement violet.
    The closest match for the violet is the center color in the photo shown in the link.

    Would appreciate your input.
    Thank you.

    I painted my bathroom a minty green. It's almost lime. Then I found a shower curtain that had the green that matched the paint and it had lavender blooms on it. So, I found lavender bathmat and towels at Sears that matched. I just love it. It's a very small bathroom with a golden oak cabinet and bisque tub, etc.

    Thank you to everyone for your input. I am wavering between mermaid green and celery green. I THINK I will coordinate with lavender for the accessories, but that may change. I plan to make a couple of wall hangings for the area over the toilet. They will be square wall hangings.......about 30"X 30".

    Thanks again.

    Well now that we others are involved we expect pictures when its done ya know ;-)
    I am trying to figure out what to hang for pictures/wall hangings in my bathroom . Haven't decided whether to carry the theme of the bathtubs from the shower curtain and window curtain or if that would be too many bathtubs.
