Help me pick a color for my new bathroom?
[ Poll is supposed to say "Which blue", not "White blue"!! ]
Which do you like, #1, #2 or #3?
This is the rest of the bathroom below... The blue will only go above the white wainscoting and below the white ceiling. The back of the wall niche and the casement window will stay white. Vanity (when it gets here) will be white with a gray marble top. The room is very bright with six lights and a skylight.

the far left. I'm not a fan of the other 2, too bright and I feel clash with the tile, look and feel of the bathroom

Definitely the lightest one. The other two don't go with the green IMO.

I'm not a fan of the left-most one ... it reminds me too much of a hospital-blue.

Re: Help me pick a color for my new bathroom?
Love the new bathroom! I like the blue on the right the most, but the one on the left goes the best with the tile, but if it is possible to consider another color, I would look for a grayer blue or a greener blue.
The one in the middle is too purple.

Re: Help me pick a color for my new bathroom?
I voted for the first one but agree with going with something with more of a gray tint to it or more of a light aqua color. Beautiful bathroom!

I would pick the lightest one but I would try it out right next to the tiles as in the pictures, It doesn't look like it matches. I personally would have done a nice light grey.

I didn't want to say it first, but I don't think those colors go either. It's a BEAUTIFUL bathroom though! A grey would be nice or this color: sherwin williams sea salt 6204. You did a great job on the bathroom. :)

Thank you!
It's ok, I'm concerned about the same thing. I'll see how I feel once it's on the wall but if it looks strange, it's just paint and I can go over it pretty quickly.

I wasn't looking to match it per se. There is blue in the listello (border) but with the lighting at night, when I took the picture, it looks gray. There's already a lot of gray and white in the bathroom, I thought the walls needed a cheery color.

Re: Help me pick a color for my new bathroom?
I think you need a darker blue. I see the blue you are talking about in the boarder. Take a look at
Templeton Gray HC-161(it's blue, have this in my guest room)
Mount Saint Anne 1564 (I have this in my powder room)
Beach Glass 1565
Rhine River 689
Those are all BM colors. What are the names of the colors you put up? If those are my only options, the lightest one.

Re: Help me pick a color for my new bathroom?
So we went with the popular vote - #1, Benjamin Moore "Light Blue". We figured if it was too light, we would just go darker.
I took pics last night before we put stuff back on the walls and it looks a little bland, washed out with just incandescent bulbs:
And then I went in this morning and realized it looks VERY blue at 8am 
Midday is in between these two extremes. I'm not sure if I like it yet, we still have to get the glass installed in the shower but it didn't take me long to do, only 1 coat with a few touch ups, so if we wind up disliking it, we can switch it up.
Thanks everyone!

The bathroom looks beautiful!! I LOVE that glass tile. I do agree with one of the previous posters about a grey shade. I think the blue is taking away from the tile. Why don't they make these things easy! lol

That is crazy how different it looks at different times of day! I think it looks great--I like it even better now that it is on the walls.

I like it, very beachy! I think I have the same tile as your floor tile for my floor and shower. :)

My bedroom is a blue/gray shade and I hate it 
I've seen it in other people's homes and photos and liked it but with my happiness about the bathroom, I guess I wanted it to be vibrant and brighter.

Thank you! Yes, I was thinking beach as well. I shouldn't have trouble finding blue and green accents.
You didn't happen to get it at The Tile Shop in Commack did you? Except for the listello, that's where I got all my tile.

I love your tiles. They are beautiful. I love the whole beachy, sea glass look. I would like to do that in one of my bathrooms.
