Blue Bathrooms/Rooms & Paint Choice

[meliss8599]

We're going to have white cabinets/vanity and satin nickel fixtures in our bathroom. I'd like to go with a blue paint color but am overwhelmed with all the options out there. Do any of you have a blue bathroom (or other blue room) you can share pictures and paint colors of? Or will anyone join me in the search for blue bathroom photos?

I'm open to varying shades from light to medium blue (not dark like navy) but not in the aqua family. They style I'm ultimately aiming for is French Country.

Something along the lines of these but the problem is I don't know the paint color names that were used:

I love a light blue, but "clear" blue bathroom. By clear blue I mean the blue is crisp with no muddy or gray undertones. I love the color in the top picture. If the bottom picture is the same bathroom, then maybe it is the way the light is hitting that wall, but the bottom picture the blue looks a bit grayish and muddy to me.

We did one of our bathrooms the exact same way. I can help you out with Sherwin-Williams paint colours; that's also the brand sold at DoIt Best hardware stores, if you have one of those near you.

Just keep in mind that every blue is different. There are green blues, yellow blues, red blues... and on those tiny little sample chips, they all look... well... blue!

My parents painted a room blue, and thought they were buying a simply "light blue". They ended up selecting a "gray blue", and it looks more gray than blue.

Good luck! I like ice light blue colors...

I choose a blue very similar to your second choice and I love it! I think it is called Russian Blue. I also have white cabinets, nickel fixtures and I use black curtain rods and accent pieces. Love my bathroom.

I think our bathroom is 100 Acre Sky, as is our bedroom. Behr paint from Home Depot

This one is my favorite. Many blues.

If there is a blue in a towel or accessory that you like, have them color match it.

We have blue paint in our master bath with white trim and silver fixtures. We chose Magic Spell by Behr and it was some kind of bathroom/kitchen paint that does something to prevent mildew.

My neighbor did her bathroom a periwinkle blue with white fixtures, cabinetry etc. and it is GORGEOUS!

This is my boys bathroom, done in a greyish blue. It looks nice with the grey & white granite, nickel fixtures, white cabinetry & dark grey tile floor. I use navy towels & accents. Might nOt be "blue" enough for French Country though!

Glad to hear the combo looks great! Sherwin Williams did have some gorgeous blues when I looked on their website.

Russian blue was initially my first choice! When I got to Home Depot I decided to take home a sample of Sweet Blue (b/c I chickened out and thought Russian Blue would be too dark). I'll probably test it out tonight and update you on how it turns out. Our bathroom is REALLY narrow but we do have a large window so I didn't know how dark I wanted to go. Do you, by any chance, have a picture to share of your bathroom? I'd really LOVE to see it.

I'll check this one out if Sweet Blue doesn't work out for us.
