Greige Color Palette for the Bathroom

We are used to the idea that blue is the most suitable paint color for bathrooms. Also, white is considered a suitable option. These colors are associated with water, which is why people mostly use them in their bathrooms.

However, greige can also look fabulous on your bathroom walls! Just ensure you use the right shade of this color, and your bathroom will look cozy and pleasantly warm-toned. And if you want to keep the fresh vibe in it, remember to add white to make the room read lighter!

Light Greige Color Palette for the Bathroom

If your bathroom is not very big, you’d better use lighter shades of greige to paint its walls. Lighter greiges will add coziness and warmth to the room without turning it into a “muddy”-looking space. For example, you can use one of the following greiges in your bathroom:

1. Chantilly Lace OC-65
2. White Dove OC-17
3. Cloud White OC-130
4. Ballet White OC-9
5. Balboa Mist OC-27
6. Shoji White SW 7042

All these colors will be trendy in 2024. And as you can see, all of them are very light and well-balanced in tone. Some of these greiges read somewhat lighter (e.g., Chantilly Lace OC-65) whilst others may read a bit more pronounced (e.g., Balboa Mist OC-27 or Shoji White SW 7042). But any of them will work great on your bathroom walls or vanity sink.

Darker Greige Color Palette for the Bathroom

If the size and lighting of your bathroom allow, you can try using darker shades of greige. The following shades will be trendy this year:

1. Settlement SW 9594
2. Mushroom SW 9587
3. Studio Beige SW 9602
4. Comfort Gray SW 6205
5. Oyster Bay SW 6206
6. Acacia Haze SW 9132

However, we would still recommend you use such shades of greige to create color accents. E.g., you can paint your bathroom vanity sink or shelves in one of these colors, leaving the walls white.

Greige pairs nicely with different textures and materials, from wood and stone to metal and brass. Besides, this versatile color will serve almost any interior design.

Light Greige Color Palette in the Living Room

This color palette is pretty varied in terms of undertones. If you take a closer look, you will see that some colors read more or less greenish (e.g., Analytical Gray SW 7051 or Useful Gray SW 7050), whilst others (like Repose Gray SW 7015) show more gray undertones.

3. Mineral Deposit SW 7652
4. Classic French Gray SW 0077

Below, you can find two color palettes (one is dark, and another one is light) that contain greiges best suited for walls. This way, you can use these color palettes as prompts whenever you need to decide which shade of greige might be more suitable for your home.
