Think color and light in the bathroom doesn’t matter? Think again!
Have you ever applied cosmetics, walked outside and said….EAK!! Blame it on your bathroom.
To make sure this doesn’t happen to you select color that complement color your skin tone. When creating custom interior color palettes, I place paint chips next to my client’s face to find their ideal color.
Valspar Au Lait Ole would be a good choice
Benjamin Moore’s Cappuccino could also work nicely
Latte-like hues with pink/red undertones work for most, unlike sage green or teal.
Also keep in mind that fluorescent lighting may be energy efficient; however they aren’t created equal. Installing quality lighting in your home prior to selecting colors…or applying make up…is recommended.
If you like the idea of dark, dramatic colors for the bath reserve them for a guest baths. Lighter hues are better for primary baths.
