Jo Cook Interior Design It is difficult to give you an actual color from a picture, however I would suggest staying with the blues and the golds in the curtain. If you bring your curtain to a Ben Moore or Sherwin Williams store and select a few color strips that you feel work with the curtain and then post those, it may make it easier to assist you in selecting the paint color. Good luck!

kickerkeeper it's actually not gold, it has silver metallic threads with aqua, steel blue, and silver/gray fabric. we have a grey floor and countertop as well

Jo Cook Interior Design Ok, then I would stay with those colors, versus the other colors I see in the curtain. I would like to see you bring some color into the room. In the picture showing the curtain, the color looks so nice.

Carrie I'd paint it the steel blue green (on your first photo, the last colour) and then paint your cabinet a pale light aqua blue (middle colour). Add white, pale aqua and pale gray green towels and voila...done. lol

Jo Cook Interior Design I would lean towards the blue tones to bring color into the room. I just went back to look at your pictures and the close up of the curtain looks totally different than the picture that shows the curtain with the table and mirror. Based on that picture, I would work with the silvery/steel blue. Hope that helps!

Carrie I like Home Hardware Premiere Paints and suggest Aqua Frost 4M3-5 Inviting, for the main bath and Life 732 Blue Collection for the cabinet. Something along those lines. You can find the swatches here: http://www.homehardware.ca/en/index/design-centre/beauti-tone-home-designer.htm
