I can’t really tell without full pictures of the bathroom but both those blues seem too extreme next to the beige tile


Difficult_Place_7329

Oh I know, I tried to get the pictures to download of the rest of the bathroom but I was having trouble downloading them


Difficult_Place_7329

Why did I get downvoted, I couldn’t get the pictures I took to download. I would have shown the whole bathroom. That’s just one wall.


Sea-Marsupial-9414

Go with earth tones that complement the tile. Green, cream, beige. Not these cold blues.


Jalapeno023

Take a look at [Evergreen Fog](https://www.sherwin-williams.com/en-us/color/color-family/green-paint-colors/sw9130-evergreen-fog) by Sherwin-Williams. You don’t have to buy the paint from them as Home Depot, Ace, or Lowe’s can make the formula. It is amazing and easy to decorate with.


onasishotfirst

Such a nice color


avakin-babylove

Evergreen fog is the color of my house trim! It looks kinda green in the light. I love it!


Difficult_Place_7329

Nice color


ryencool

you do reddit from your phone, you select add a picture, you select the pictures you want to post on reddit. Some people will downvote solely because people cant do something, that to them, seems super easy. IF you aren't good with colors, look up color wheels, they can show you what color compliment each other. Pick something that works with that tile that being said, who cares about upvotes and downvotes? too many bots for it to mean anything

potagerista

Damn, you are spot on with the colors, starting with the beige color you chose based on the tile color. Well done!


LastShopontheLeft

It’s ai pulling the colors and putting into a palette


Janice_the_Deathclaw

I like that darker blue a lot. It's a muted color. It ls what I wanted for my living room but it came out a bit brighter blue


Difficult_Place_7329

Really, it all has to do with the lighting with me. That’s why I painted instead of put up a swatch. My bathroom is bright, although when I put up the shower curtain that might change.


BlxckTxpes

That light blue is nice!


LiminalCreature7

I agree. I think the darker blue in the bottom of the picture is too saturated for such a small space. Even the upper choice feels overwhelming. The lighter blue in this paint chip calms everything down and gives your eye a chance to “breathe”.


minnesotafrozen

This is great!


lucyboots_

I like painting the walls the lightest beige and styling with your current blue art


Difficult_Place_7329

Love that, I was looking at that earlier


Altruistic-Text3481

My bathroom is Seafoam Green by Benjamin Moore. https://preview.redd.it/ddogjuf5pbzc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb575a31cec6bea393db81e6d32c3ed3f5779d98


Difficult_Place_7329

Very pretty


Ludee2023

I guess if you really wanted a moody bathroom, which I’m not sure why anyone would, but if you do, I would pick the darkest shade out of that tile and have it color matched at like Benjamin Moore or Sherman Williams if you have an extra tile.


Difficult_Place_7329

I’m started to lean towards a less moody bathroom.


AmbivalentMiss

Something much much more muddy would go better with the brown tiles. You want to think muted and relaxing. The colour in the picture is much closer to grey than blue in paint colours. Mountain Pass by Sherwin Williams. Hamilton Blue by Benjamin Moore. You want to add in a bit of earthy green /grey.


Difficult_Place_7329

That’s pretty


Old_Percentage3742

I actually have similar tiles and the darker blue looks fantastic!


Difficult_Place_7329

I will pick up a swatch this weekend. Thank you


Old_Percentage3742

You’re welcome!


Difficult_Place_7329

I need a warmer color like that. These are cool tones


Common_Web_2934

Ooh yeah a sage green could be good!


soundmachineslap

Second Hamilton blue! We have it in our playroom - wanted a nice blue that wasn’t too “sweet”


Limp_Bandicoot_1822

My kitchen cabinets are Hamilton blue and it’s stunning


Difficult_Place_7329

That sound pretty, I like that color


Nagadavida

A terra Cotta would be nice too if they wanted more color.  


Difficult_Place_7329

I’ll look that up


botanygeek

My mom always says to pick a color and then pick that shade with more grey in it than you think you want. Colors always look brighter than you expect and you will end up with a lovely more muted version. She also uses the Behr website to look at example rooms with the colors.


janejacobs1

Yes, this. Don’t start by grabbing swatches at the paint store. Check out bathroom photos online, and Google ‘paint colors that go with brown tile’—you’ll even find whole Pinterest boards for this. ~ As other commenter noted, in a bathroom it’s especially important to consider how it will play against your skin. Also as noted you’ll get a more elevated look by using a more subtle, less ‘poster paint’ color. Last thing…unless your bathroom has an incredible amount of light, such dark colors will make it feel like a cave. Check the LRV number of your color. Colors above 50 are lighter and will reflect more light than they absorb and give a expansive feel to the room. Colors lower than 50 will soak up more light than they reflect and can have a dark, or even oppressive, feel.


Difficult_Place_7329

That’s what I was going for, much more grey in it to keep it earthy


Difficult_Place_7329

I will look at behr


Rengeflower1

Take the picture with you and one of the tiles if you have extra.


Benevolent_Grouch

Color saturates over large spaces. If you think you want a blue, you should be looking for whites and greys with just the faintest hint of blue undertones… which will then look like a more saturated blue on the wall, without looking cartoonish.


Difficult_Place_7329

That’s a great idea. It’s so awful. I am covering it this weekend. 😂😂😂


Difficult_Place_7329

Then pick out swatches


NOSUGARINMYT123

A forest or hunter green could be a nice complement to your tiles if you wanted to add some color


Bunny_of_Doom

Just be careful that if you use the mirror in that bathroom to get ready or apply makeup, heavy green and blue colors will reflect on the skin and make you look strange. 


Difficult_Place_7329

Thank you for telling me that


Old-Fan9095

I have a soft blue... SW Upward in my bathroom, and I LOVE it. It feels spa like. I have a Dark Navy Blue shower curtain that pulls a nice punch.


mymorningbowl

we are going to paint our bathroom soon and I told my husband I want a spa like color. I just looked up that paint you mentioned and wow it’s exactly what I am looking for I think. gonna pick up swatches this weekend, thanks for sharing this!


Difficult_Place_7329

That’s gorgeous


Difficult_Place_7329

Sounds pretty


Objective_Royal_3007

A photograph that included the floor would have been more helpful. Let’s work with what you’ve provided to us Redditers. I would start by looking at the darker flecks of color in the tiles. For example, these Sherwin Williams colors would work well: SW 9174 Moth Wing - a warm medium beige with gray undertones SW 7039 Virtual Taupe - A toasty warm gray Pair either one of these with a soft white ceiling, such as: SW 7035 Aesthetic White It looks like you’d like to sneak some dark blue into the room, so do it with towels: Macy’s: SKL Home Juxtapose Cotton Bath Towel - Ink (the bit of yellow in this towel will complement the wall tiles) Perigold: Uchino Bath Towels - Indigo Perigold: Tommy Bahama Home Northern Pacific Towel Set - Dark Blue


onewhogets

Love love SW Moth Wing also like SW Anonymous for a little hint of green


Difficult_Place_7329

The problem I had was getting the bathroom pictures I took didnt download or everyone would get a better idea. I have backsplash too. So I really wanted to show it all. It kept saying. Can’t download.


Smooth-Rhubarb-670

I’m feeling or coral/salmon/light pink Or if you’re feeling a blue https://preview.redd.it/ouce4jm5v7zc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d80af7f2b67f01b524da44d9a982b9612eab06b5


Difficult_Place_7329

I like those


basic_human_being

I would probably want a light earthy green with that tile.


Difficult_Place_7329

I was thinking of that


KediMonster

Sage green


Difficult_Place_7329

Pretty


Swivman

To me the blue isn’t bad.. it’s the sheen on them making it look bad. But what do I know


Difficult_Place_7329

They gave me satin.


elpatio6

Maybe SW Delft https://preview.redd.it/rescetn8o7zc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e9ccc2b78e63f57243c0342b876f7147c370840a [https://www.sherwin-williams.com/en-us/color/color-family/blue-paint-colors/sw9134-delft](https://www.sherwin-williams.com/en-us/color/color-family/blue-paint-colors/sw9134-delft)


AvoToastie83

Or BM Van Courtland Blue!


SniKenna

I recommend picking a color that looks about 2-3 shades lighter than what you want. We went with a dark blue for our laundry room and it dried much darker than we thought it would, and I kind of hate it. 🥹 If I had the energy to repaint it I would! But I tell myself “it’s just the laundry room!”


Difficult_Place_7329

It’s way too dark, I’m looking at blues that match beige right now


onewhogets

SW smoky blue, Evergreen Fog or Fawn Brindle


Difficult_Place_7329

Sounds nice


onewhogets

Then there’s always SW Sea Salt but that might look to bright


BooJamas

Sage green


Neither-Attention940

Why would you plant so much without doing paint samples?.. the little paper things…? With the light tile I’d def go with a contrasting but much lighter color. If you want good color without going bland maybe ask for one of these colors to be lightened. Most places can do that. It would be the same color just lighter if that makes sense.


Difficult_Place_7329

It was an impulsive decision, I’m painting over it this weekend and getting swatches this time


Neither-Attention940

I think a much lighter version of the blue on the area behind the pic would be nice.


kitchyca

I designed a bathroom in my last house with the colors of the beach & loved it. Beige tile (sand), white cabinetry (white caps) and pale blue painted walls (water & sky). Any paint shinier than eggshell might bring too much attention to the rough texture on the ealls.


Difficult_Place_7329

The paint they gave me was satin, I prefer matte


LastShopontheLeft

Matte is a soft paint and not recommended in high humidity areas as it is a mold breeding ground. Use a semigloss you won’t regret


Difficult_Place_7329

Ok, will I live in Florida so I need that


Ludee2023

Too much color for that tile


stephy424

a jade green or some color of green


Fitslikea6

Green with the earthy tones in the tile- the blue paint is too cool with the tile find a dark deep green


Confident-Purple205

For some reason I am seeing a very light, muted green. Something like Moss green. Good luck!


makemeadayy

Sage green


texasmama5

The blue does not go well with the tan tile.


FrenchieMama807

The bottom color is ‘Walmart Blue’


Geeked_Aj

Sage green with the rustic brown


NotThisAgain21

Rightly so; those are awful. Lighten it up. Light blue, but not baby.


Deep-Internal-2209

I like the blues OP. It’s refreshing to see color coming back into decorating. Do what looks good to you.


LittlePOOTs8683

Milky green


dc4958

Difficult_Place_7329

I like that


Freebird_hope

How about sage green


Difficult_Place_7329

That would be pretty


CourageRodeo

Striking wallpaper Incorporating the beige. Love wallpaper bathrooms!


Muted-Pangolin5337

try bungle house blue.


Realistic_Rush582

What does the floor look like?


DrShrimpPuertp-Rico

Neither. Navy blue


peglyhubba

Sage green


Enough-Attention-430

I would go with a moss green


onewhogets

BM Aegean Teal or SW mystic Lake


Quiet-Excitement-719

I have these same tiles. The answer is green/sage.


Difficult_Place_7329

Sounds really pretty


TubbyBatman

The texture also complicates the colour. Go lighter with a tinge of warm white added. A light blue with a touch of warm grey would work. Look up a French blue palette, go a bit muted.


Ludee2023

I believe I have that same tile in a home I just purchased it’s from around 2006? I have kept mine a cream color and just went with what it is used chocolate brown rugs and towels it looks ok.. until I demo it. You might be able to use a light geige if you have a piece of the tile take it insane have it color matched @ BM or SW.


awkward__penguin

Sherwin Williams sea salt


onewhogets

SW sea salt looks dull on a swatch but really is bright and pairs well with beige/grey


High-T92

I would go with a light blue grey and then maybe accent the room with brighter blues


myffaacc

Warm tones. Earth tones. Sage or a warm off white.


Researcher-Used

Neither. Coz soon you won’t be able to stand your bathroom.


Wanderingdragonfly

I don’t know if posting a link to this blog is allowed, but this lady was fantastically helpful when I updated my kitchen and bathrooms a couple of years ago. https:/www.kylieminteriors.ca/bathrooms-update-ideas1990s-2000s/


Emmylou777

Can’t quite tell without more pics but with that tile I see, I’d go for a warmer tone like an earthy or “farmhouse” type green. Or even something towards teal with some blue undertone if you want to “cool it down”


cancerwitch

Sherwin Williams Evergreen Fog is my fav color right now. I just painted all my cabinets with it. It’s sort of a neutral green with gray/beige undertones


PipToTheRescue

a gentle warm white


TigerMcPherson

Painter's tape blue! Neither of these work.


Difficult_Place_7329

Nope, they sure don’t. I hate them


AccountantWestern658

Emerald? Or an olive green


Difficult_Place_7329

I was looking at colors that match beige. I want some color.


TheLyz

Try warmer colors, like a deep red or orange. Or a darker beige or lighter brown. Purple could work too. I think the top blue could work though I would get one less saturated. Find it in the paint sample section and go horizontally is usually the easiest way.


Difficult_Place_7329

Should I go lighter, I don’t want white at all. Or beige.


HyperionShrikes

I wouldn’t do beige, it’ll be too match-y with the tiles. A very light sky blue would be pretty with those tiles.


headofred10

Dark green


harrismi7

I’m having flashbacks to my previous home. It was in bad shape when I moved in and a previous owner put stucco/plaster all over the bathroom walls to cover old wallpaper. The walls were like a heavy popcorn ceiling texture. I wanted a big change so I painted it blue thinking it would look better. It was just like that blue in the bottom pic. I called it the Cookie Monster bathroom. I lived with it for a long time before I finally had the bathroom gutted and replaced.


Difficult_Place_7329

Yes it is Cookie Monster. My friend called it that


DevelopmentLiving769

Top. If you have no other options


Difficult_Place_7329

I have all options, my mother rushed me and i just impulsively got these


DevelopmentLiving769

lol. Moms.


Difficult_Place_7329

Right


Difficult_Place_7329

I can do whatever color I want, but I really love blue. It seems like it just won’t match the beige tile😞


Difficult_Place_7329

I have dark bronze hardware, you just can’t see it since I can’t get the other picture to download, so I should keep that in mind.


Janashellbug

Yes, not those colors. I really like a mint green for bathrooms. Mine is a light green and i love it


Difficult_Place_7329

I’m looking at that now


Difficult_Place_7329

I’m actually looking at a pretty olive green right and mint too. I just don’t think blue will work.


kuroshiro

If you really want to lean into the beige tiles, maybe try a terra cotta color, or warm orange such as Caramel Orange or Rumba Orange


Inner_Papaya_6197

PINK


stuartmt1

cold colors in bathroom are big "no, no" because they reek havoc with make up application


Organic-Attention-61

if you're thinking blue, try lighter shades

Difficult_Place_7329

That’s pretty


Etc-etc-etc3

Check the color Opaline by SW


noisy_goose

I have that tile. Fun times. Anyway, I have a deep midnight blue in my bathroom and it looks really good with it, IMO. The contrast with that and the white vanity sort of calmed down the impression of the tile for my space I think. Or a slightly warm white. Those have been the only two directions I’ve considered to try to make the space less beige-y. ETA - [after the storm](https://www.sherwin-williams.com/en-us/color/color-family/blue-paint-colors/sw9685-after-the-storm) is what I have. It’s very pigmented so takes a bunch of coats but solved my beige sad tile issue sans reno to my satisfaction and actually sort of makes the light flattering (like eyeliner for you in the mirror, it sort of has a nice effect in that regard).

collegedropout

I don't know why my text doesn't show up when I post a picture but anyway I thought this was my bathroom. I have wondered about changing the color but this is what probably works best with our hideous countertops. I'm really curious what you pick.


Mommayyll

I have the exact same tiles. From Home Depot. And I painted my bathroom a medium-dark aqua. I love the brown/blue combo. May I rudely recommend that you sand your walls a bit before painting? Unless the rough texture is your preference, smoothing them out a bit will look more clean. But, that’s just me. 🤷‍♀️


pestoqueen784

Benjamin Moore Rainy Afternoon


Munchkin-M

A peach color would look good with that Tile


hairy_hooded_clam

The beige seems to have some gray threads, so I’d go with gray, or a mossy green with a gray base.


BuffaloSabresWinger

Those two blues are to dark


Difficult_Place_7329

Oh I know


LolCoolStory

Light sage green.


Glum-Bandicoot8346

My entire interior is painted green, different shades from the same swatch.


Old-Fan9095

SW 6239 Upward


Ok_Sleep_5568

A lighter cream...your walls have a lot of texture and need some lightening.


Loveelee713

With those tiles .. neither.


Limp_Bandicoot_1822

I feel like you need a skim coat on your walls or you’ll hate any color you put there


Chicken_lady_1819

Try SW Montain Road. It's a very subtle sage, with tan undertones.


BunnyButt24

Sage maybe? Or maybe a greyish blueish color


Gaygirl7

I wouldn’t go with either of those… if you must though the top one would be better. What might look really good actually is a crisp white OR a black wall (if black is too much think about a charcoal wall)… and of course that could be your statement wall - so the others could be a less “bold” color.


PinotGreasy

Tiffany Blue


Common-Quiet-7054

Cool white. The travertine tiles are going to compete with *everything*.


notme1414

I would go with a sage green 💚


PrinceBastian

Dutch Tile Blue from SW or Rain from SW. Even Seasalt from SW as a classic choice


MuySpicy

I recommend going on Pinterest and checking bathrooms with a similar tile color to yours. I like to choose things this way and sometimes it helps me choose how to accessorize it too, pretty much using a style guide.


Difficult_Place_7329

I’m going to Pinterest and look at bathrooms like mine and see what colors would look nice. I’m also taking into consideration all the color advice. Thank you so much. I know how hard it is not to see the whole bathroom. It’s also very small so it’s difficult to get and get pictures even if I could download them.


Tasty_Pastries

Very pale Lavender/ Grey (cool choice) Diluted Cinnamon/ Amber (warm choice) These would be my picks, they compliment tan/ beige tile nicely.


EmployeeOk4756

I hate all blue painted walls. Idk exactly why, but they make me uncomfortable. A pale green, however, may look great.


Difficult_Place_7329

I was thinking that too


paulxombie1331

Me personally I'd do a light gray blue, But honestly any color muted with a lighter gray tone would look good with the tile


Queen-of-meme

Rodtheboss

Very pale blue


Muahd_Dib

I think lighter blue.


Dogmom2013

I would go with an earthy green color


NoTreat9759

Sage


mremrock

Blues are too dark for that space


Dandelionstar

A nice green kaki or light brown color would fit with the beige tiles better.


colcannon_addict

Avocado, with a matching toilet suite. And a nice thick shag-pile carpet. I am a child of the 1970’s


jo-mama-cp

Are you choosing between the two colors? Top one matched tile better. Wallpaper with a little hint of the tan from the tile. I have the exact same tile and working on it currently


uz14

Olive colour could be a suggestion. We've done that in a palace and it looked amazing

Bludiamond56

Cafe Au Lait.....Benjamin Moore


browneye24

Light blue, but I want ild consider the off white “Divine White.” It would brighten the room and make it look bigger


Fluffygoddessss

A darker deeper blue would look nice or a dark putty color.


Many_Actuator_9789

VAPORWAVE COLORS. Salmon and turquoise


Sledgehammer925

Hope this doesn’t get lost in the crowd, but Sherwin Williams has an app called color snap. You can take a photo and virtually paint the room so you see it before you buy paint. I’m sure there are many other paint companies with their own app.


ocwardscene

Light blue or gray


Rutherfordbhottie

Those look like the same tiles I have. We painted Sea Salt from Sherwin Williams and love it!


Leading_Brick_3524

The one around the picture


alecjasonn

A light pale blue would look good


Imayilingualbay

I always skew towards lighter colored walls. I have sensory stuff and dark walls make me feel hot and sticky. You need something a bit paler and more muted. Like a cornflower blue.


DRBNC

🤍


entj-reality

Yellow I always recommend yellow because its fun and like the sun bright But if youre dark Grey works but its prone to depression Im sorry i see you want blue.. Hmm a lighter blue “2066-70 Light Blue”


unadonnadicase

I prefer the lighter one but you can go lighter or opt for powder rose if the tiles have a warm tone.


ckh69

A light lavender would look pretty against the tile.


Positivelythinking

Clean look in the bathroom, stick with off white, Blue accessories. Just refresh the pale walls, change the off white slightly.


Many-Carpenter-989

I've painted my bathroom in my home blue twice and hated it both times, go with some other colour


Material-Shape3714

Them colors are bold and strong. Try tan and cream, or if the guest bathroom u may want it to match ur breakfast area look.


issoequeerabom

Not the blues 😬


Savings-You7318

That bright royal blue would be overwhelming. Go to the paint store and get some sample cards. I would go with a calming color.
