What Color Should You Paint Your Bathroom?

There are countless options for paint types and colors for bathrooms, which can easily leave you

confused and frustrated.


In such cases, we always recommend going with popular yet flattering paint colors that reflect light well

and help you start your day feeling fresh.


Of course, it is always best to consult professional experts, like those at Blackstone Construction in

Kansas City and St. Joseph, Missouri. Contact them for any paint, tile work, electrical, construction, or

remodeling-related solutions.



Let’s see which options would make for some ideal colors for your bathroom.

If you are flipping a home, it may help to learn that homes with light blue bathrooms sell better than expected.

1. White


Perhaps no color suits a space dedicated to hygiene more than white. It is a classic option that rarely

goes wrong. However, choosing the wrong hue or undertone can easily make your bathroom look dingy

or dated.


It is always best to opt for a cool and bright white that reflects light well and highlights anyone within

the space. You can always choose undertones or a white that matches your fixtures to help maintain a

cohesive look.


2. Gray


In recent years, gray has quickly become the popular neutral choice for bathrooms. However, you must

be careful with this paint color. If your bathroom does not have plenty of natural light, you may want to

avoid gray paint.


If it does have good natural light coming in, a warmer tone gray can look incredible, whereas a gray-blue

undertone is better for a cooler aesthetic. Avoid dark grays at all times, especially if the bathroom space

is on the smaller side.


3. Green


Green is truly evergreen and makes for the perfect backdrop to nearly any style. It is easy to find green

paint colors that complement existing or new fixtures and furnishings. We recommend sage green for

the most natural neutral look that gives your bathroom a fresh and clean look, or you can opt for a more

emerald green if your bathroom is spacious with good natural lighting.


4. Other Neutral Colors


Of course, plenty of other neutral colors can go well. These colors include light blue, which is very

relaxing, ivory, pistachio, porcelain, and even pink. The key thing to consider with these neutral paint

colors is how they complement the fixtures and furnishings of your bathroom in natural light.


If you are flipping a home, it may help to learn that homes with light blue bathrooms sell better than

expected.


Our Final Thoughts


The mentioned paint colors will help you narrow down your choice for your bathroom. While they are

all great, we recommend you consider a green option, as it is the most versatile color option for

bathrooms.


If you don’t want to color the whole bathroom green, you can always opt for a single wall or tile your

shower space with green-colored tiles.
