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 2023. 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.

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.
