Today’s color dilemma…
Love the BM Aura paint! The Coral Gables I tried is too harsh in this powder. There is a black console with white ceramic sink. I’m looking for paint color suggestions, please.
Kate suggests…
You initial choice tells me that you aren’t afraid of color and I think that you are on the right track with the hue but would be more pleased with the color if you take the intensity down a couple of notches.
In a small, enclosed space the color can appear more intense than how it appears on the paint chip. I think that Benjamin Moore’s Creamy Peach will give you the color you are after without being overwhelming plus in a powder room colors that complement the skin tones are especially flattering.

I would like to paint an interior bathroom with no windows that is shared by my teenage son and daughter. Any suggestions for a color that would brighten up this small, dark room?
