Jun. 14, 2009 - Pottery Barn Paint Color for Bathroom

Popular Sherwin Williams Pottery Barn paint colors. Blues are back!

Bathroom paint color:

Create upscale themes like the one below, without the expense of designer tiles, with paint! Same look and feel, and easier to change your mind a few years later.

aqua = water = bathroom

The four Pottery Barn paint colors above, from left to right are Cool Aqua,Aqua Sky, Aquamarine Blue and Babylonian Aqua. When I last wrote about Pottery Barn Paint Colors, many people wrote indicating that they weren't good at picking the right color tone. 

Just take a picture of a bathroom you like from the internet, like the one above, and line up the possible matching colors under or around the photo as I have done above.  If you still have trouble matching, bring the picture with the color swatches that the get from MyPerfectColor to friends, or even strangers at the coffee shop. People will love to help you pick.

In this case Aquamarine Blue is the right color tone, but you don't want to paint a small room too dark, or it will close in on you and don't, don't ,DO NOT paint the ceiling the same color as the walls.

When you order the paint you can choose it darker, but not lighter. The smaller the room the lighter you want to go. If you don't want a white ceiling, put a little bit of the wall paint into white paint.  It will look more like the walls are reflecting in the ceiling than a colored ceiling.

In this case, none of the lighter paint colors are the same tone as that bathroom or Aquamarine Blue, so have the have the store make the color lighter for you first, so you have the formula in case you need more. Save some in a glass jar for touch ups over the years before adding white to do the ceiling.

Change your colors often. It's a lot cheaper than buying a new house :)
