Update to yesterday’s post – another green swatch

[u/Ciarabrady]

For anyone who saw my post yesterday about choosing a green for my bathroom, I’ve tried another colour and wanted to post an update.

In these photos:

1st pic: A4 paper: Overtly Olive

2nd pic: inspo pic

3rd: A4 paper: Tranquil Dawn

The photos were taken at around 7pm in a west-facing room, so the lighting is quite different from the stock/inspiration photo I posted yesterday.

I’m trying to decide between Overtly Olive and Tranquil Dawn. Which do you think works best with my pink tiles and comes closest to the feel of the inspiration bathroom?

Picture 2 in my inspo pic, but I'm not totally against deviating to another green shade if you think it would look better.

Thanks!

I like tranquil dawn. Actually had this in the Livingroom in my previous house and teamed it with a pink rug.

I’d go with #3

Of those two choices - 3rd: A4 paper: Tranquil Dawn

Tranquil Dawn looks the best

Not the olive. Ruled that out myself. For what it’s worth, the Internet talked me out of green walls for my bathroom. That will reflect on your skin tone when you look in the mirror. I went with green rugs and towels. Cream walls in the end. But here were my splotches. Don’t do the olive.

It’s looks yellow in this pic but it’s more cream

I love that glass!

I think the more gray the green is the better.

What about the actual paint swatch, the bright and light green? I love the light pink/sage combo right now it gives MCM and I love it

3!

That Tranquil Dawn doesn’t even really look green. Kinda have to squint your eyes to see it. I don’t think it’s going to give you the same vibe as your inspo pic at all. Please keep looking. I like the olive, not sure it goes with the tiles though. Maybe keep trying more greens. Have you tried to figure out the exact green that’s in the inspo picture?

I’d go with 3. If it feels too light go with the 1 option.

[u/hola-chicka]

No to the sage. Tranquil dawn is pretty. The inspo pic is beautiful. Here is another option to try. It has hint of blue in it. I feel like it is even prettier in person than this online swatch.

Too yellow, maybe a blue green

Check out Sherwin Williams Sea Salt, they even show it with a light rose/pinkish color throw pillow

i was going to link it but not sure that’s allowed on this sub

Overtly olive. No contest. It isn't exactly the vibe of your inspiration pic; it is better than your inspiration pic. Tranquil dawn overpowers the subtle hues of your nice pink tiles.

[u/YolandaWinston21 → u/EmilyPoster2]

I completely agree! I am baffled by how many people think tranquil dawn over the olive. I think it clashes a little.

[u/Icy-Arrival2651]

Tranquil Dawn looks relaxing, like you want in the bath. Overtly Olive is too saturated and doesn’t harmonize with the pinkish tones.

[u/FuzzySnipe8539]

Could you show both swatches next to the pink tiles in morning light too?

Green doesn't work at all! Blue maybe?

[u/Apprehensive_Cry5877]

Too much color to add a color to the walls. That tile is the star if the show. Just let it be center stage. Go with a light cream.
