25 of the Best Gray Paint Color Options for Bathrooms
49 shares
Ah, the primary bathroom. Your throne room. The place you go in the morning to prepare for the day and often the last place you go in the evening before slinking off to slumber.
It can be argued that the primary bathroom is the most important room in your home as it’s the only one in which you can enter, close the door, and expect to be given full and complete solitude. If you value this serenity and the primary bathroom’s role as a sanctuary, then when updating your bathroom you should consider choosing a gray paint color option. Gray is a wonderfully reserved color.
Its neutralness between black and white gives it a solid and stable appearance that, when we surround ourselves with it, offers a sense of calmness and composure. But while gray can be described as being between black and white, gray paint creators very rarely compose a gray paint color by simply mixing black and white. Instead, most gray paints are created with the use of hues (most popularly blue, green, and pink) that give the gray a light flavor to make the resulting paint more visually engaging while still retaining the color gray’s natural composure.
The following is a look at 25 of the best currently available gray paint color options for you to consider for your primary bathroom update:

Revere Pewter (HC-172)
Source: Benjamin Moore
This is a light, warm gray paint color that boasts a very fain green undertone that, despite being faint, still exudes a calm, picturesque quality.
Revere Pewter is a great color choice for those who want a warmer color but don’t want an extraordinarily bright one. This paint has an LRV of 55 which means that it neither absorbs nor reflects a lot of light and so it is a preferred choice in primary bathrooms with at least one source of natural light.
Chill
Source: Clare
Clare’s Chill is also a gray paint with faint green undertones. Here, however, the paint is overall brighter and on the wall, you’ll notice a better reflection of both natural and artificial lights. As its name suggests, this is a great paint color in a primary bathroom designed and used foremost for relaxing or rejuvenating — such as long hot showers after a long day.
Silverpoint (SW 7653)
Source: Sherwin-Williams
Silverpoint is an incredibly versatile paint color and after you use it in your primary bathroom, you may just find yourself wanting to continue on and use it elsewhere in your home. This shade of gray has gorgeous yet subtle taupe undertones that result in the color being light enough to work with dark hardwood and stone floorings but also warm enough to pair well with light and even white tiling.
Cornforth White (No. 228)
Source: Farrow & Ball
Don’t let the name fool you, this is a gray through and through. In fact, you’ll likely find Cornforth White to be a more decidedly gray shade than many others on this list. Named after the late John Cornforth, a revered architectural historian, this paint color offers a strong neutral and is a great choice to pair with brown or red tiling.
Repose Gray (SW 7015)
Source: Sherwin-Williams
For many years, this was one of Sherwin-Williams’ best-selling colors. It’s a unique color due to how many special undertones it has. Brown, taupe and the slightest hint of purple all add to create this cozy gray — although many people won’t notice the purple hue, they will appreciate how peaceful the color looks and feel. All great qualities for a primary bathroom.
Balboa Mist (OC-27)
Source: Benjamin Moore
As its name suggests, this gray is like a light, soft mist featuring just the smallest of pink and purple undertones.
These undertones make the paint color an exceptionally great choice for those who have wooden furnishings, such as pairing with cherry-toned cabinetry and frames. A primary bathroom with such a design will exude a tranquil and serene atmosphere.
Useful Gray (SW 7050)
Source: Sherwin-Williams
True to its name, Useful Gray is a useful gray paint color that can be easily used throughout your home. Its yellow and green undertones make it particularly a great choice when combining with natural wood or terracotta flooring. You’ll find this color to be among the warmest shade of gray in this list.
Pavement (C2-988)
Source: C2 Paint
While C2 might have found a more appealing name for such an appealing color, this is still a fantastic choice of paint color in a primary bathroom. Pavement by C2 is a very soft gray that features just the smallest touch of blue sourced from rare, finely ground artesian pigments. Its ability to nicely reflect soft white and yellow lights make it a fine choice in a smaller space like the primary bathroom in which it’ll give off a more refined and yet inviting aesthetic.
Stone Harbor (2111-50)
Source: Benjamin Moore
Stone Harbor is one of Benjamin Moore’s most popular neutral colors thanks to it being so well-balanced. This gray paint color is created with a brown-gray base in which violet hues are added. The result is a pint color that boasts the warmth of the brown with a cool violet shine.
When painting your primary bathroom with Stone Harbor, we recommend using warm temperature lighting to really accentuate its warmer properties.
Stonington Gray (HC-170)
Source: Benjamin Moore
This is another one of the company’s most popular neutral paint colors. Here, however, instead of mixing in brown, this gray features a mix of blue and green undertones that creates a more natural-looking gray. If you are looking to accentuate the porcelain white of your bathtub, toilet, and sink, then you’ll love how well this Stonington Gray pairs with that.
Many designers who are going for a more modern impression will opt for this paint color for that very reason.
Magnetic Gray (SW 7058)
Source: Sherwin-Williams
Magnetic Gray is generally known as a darker gray but pair it with the right natural and artificial light and you’ll really bring out the silvery blue and green undertones it’s mixed with. This gray paint color is a great choice to use for a matching primary bedroom and primary bathroom set, especially when using light natural wood or white flooring and furnishing materials.
Dorian Gray (SW 7017)
Source: Sherwin-Williams
This gray paint color is a darker shade than most on our list and will provide a nice complementing contrast to whiter items within a room. For this reason, Dorian Gray is probably best used not for painting the entirety of a bathroom’s walls but instead using it either as an accent color or for use on cabinetry. For example, if you’re using white tiles to cover the lower two-thirds of your bathroom walls, then the Dorian Gray paint color would be a perfect pairing to use on that top third.
Jailhouse Rock (C2-950)
Source: C2 Paint
This is perhaps the darkest gray on our list and while it won’t mesh well with a lot of primary bathrooms, if you are able to complement it with natural wood paneling and accents or light marble and you enjoy more standout spaces, then you will absolutely love this color. Jailhouse Rock is more of a charcoal hue that nicely reflects warm lighting to create a very sophisticated and refined atmosphere.
Shoreline (1471)
Source: Benjamin Moore
Shoreline is a very cool blue that on the screen may look bluer, but it actually gives off a more opal appearance. This is a very cool looking and feeling gray. This coolness makes it a very versatile paint color and a good choice if you’re not sure yet what you want the whole of your primary bathroom design to be.
In fact, you might start by painting your walls with Shoreline and soon find yourself adding it to the rest of your home.
Gull Wing Gray (2134-50)
Source: Benjamin Moore
They say that Benjamin Moore’s Gull Wing Gray paint color was inspired by the Florida Sky, but it seems more reminiscent of a foggy autumn morning in Maine.
This color of gray is more of a medium gray but it can make for a strong color profile. You might consider doing an accent wall with this paint color or using a lighter gray as an accent with it.
Argent (1322)
Source: Pratt and Lambert
This paint color has such heavy light blue undertones that you might almost mistake it for a blue paint color. But this is a gray through and through and one we think more reflective of a Florida sky. If you hate mornings and need something to inspire you as you wake and prepare for the day, then Pratt and Lambert’s Argent is the perfect color for your primary bathroom.
Skimming Stone (No. 241)
Source: Farrow & Ball
This unique shade of gray has a lot of yellow and light beige undertones that give it a very light and very warm look. Skimming Stone is a highly versatile paint color that pairs well with a primary bathroom outfitted in darker gray and blue colors or can be stunning when matched with classic white bathroom appliances.
This is another paint color that many homeowners might opt to use both in their primary bathroom and their primary bedroom.
Gravity Gray (15126401)
Source: KILZ
This affordable paint color is a light gray that is a good choice if you like the look and feel of white walls but want something with just a tad more punch. Applied in a primary bathroom with soft natural light, this paint will reflect ta nice silvery blue undertone that goes well with more minimalist design styles.
Irish Mist (790C-1)
Source: Behr
Have close to zero or essentially zero natural light? Then it’s important to use a very light color wall to reflect what light you have and make the room feel more open. In such primary bathrooms, Behr’s Irish Mist is the perfect pick.
This paint color has a light, airy quality that gives off a warmer feeling than other, more blue-based grays on our list.
Deep Space (2125-20)
Source: Benjamin Moore
This paint is a bit of misnomer as generally when people think of space, they think of a large swath of black darkness lit only by the stars.
Yet, this gray is certainly not that. Benjamin Moore’s Deep Space boasts a color that is significantly less severe as black, although just as strong and impactful. This is a bold color that’s ideal for use in more contemporary designs and in primary bathrooms that have either ample natural light or smart usage of mirrors to create a more open space.
Mizzle (No. 266)
Source: Farrow & Ball
Part gray, part green, Mizzle is a beautiful light shade of color that makes a primary bathroom feel softer and exudes a sense of comfort and contentment. If you’re going for a more country-esque or rural home look, then this gray should absolutely be a contender on your personal shopping list.
Down Pipe (No. 26)
Source: Farrow & Ball
This darker lead gray is created with strong blue hues that give it a very complex and standout finish. Where this paint color best excels in a primary bathroom is at a trim color or as use either on an accent wall or the cabinetry.
This’ll result in an almost sexy, sophisticated appearance.
Sheer Mist (N-C9)
Source: Clark and Kensington
This paint color is another great choice for the person who likes the bright simplicity of white but wants to move on with something a bit more fun. Sheer Mist nicely lives up to its name in being something light and cool, a color that doesn’t draw attention but nicely brings attention to other furnishings. You might consider using Sheer Mist in your primary bathroom if you want something close to a classic gray and without any outstanding undertones.
Silver Half Dollar (2121-40)
Source: Benjamin Moore
This color of gray has some very strong blue undertones that give it a more sky-like appearance. If you’re looking for something fresh and crisp, then this is a great paint color for you. Benjamin Moore’s Silver Half Dollar paint color contrasts nicely with bold colors and other grays, and it works particularly well if you’re trying to cool down an overly bright primary bathroom.
Stone Hearth (CC-490)
Source: Benjamin Moore
This color of gray paint is very popular and often gets confused as being beige due to its heavy beige undertones. Stone Hearth is one of those paint colors that can drastically change shade depending upon the size and light of a space. For the primary bathroom with a lot of light, you’ll get the paint’s ideal mid-tone depth that pairs well with just about any type of furnishings thanks to its beautiful neutral tone.

2. Gray with white
The commonwealth of gray and white colors in the bathroom interior looks as natural and calm as possible.
However, when combining them, it must be taken into account that shades of gray are chameleons, from the tonality of which the perception of all neighboring colors changes. Therefore, shining white is not always the best match for dark gray - in such a company, a noble pure color will look dirty.

The combination is ambiguous, but interesting. On the one hand, brown balances the coolness of the gray palette, on the other hand, the already dull gray shades against its background become inconspicuous. To achieve a successful combination, you can play on the contrast: combine dark brown with light gray and vice versa to get an expressive and not gloomy bathroom interior that will be in trend for a long time.

7. Grey/Green
Great for smaller bathrooms. Gray shades in such an interior will visually expand the room, blur its visual boundaries, and green accents will add a sense of spaciousness without drawing attention to themselves. Just try to avoid contrasting combinations. Don't go overboard with rich, fresh grass tones and charcoal grays. In the bathroom, soft combinations would be more appropriate: for example, light green or olive shades with mother-of-pearl pearls will envelop the room with an atmosphere of freshness, which will soak it even without the use of live plants in the decor.

Gray, having a strong reflective power, when used correctly in interior design, can visually change the space: expand or, conversely, visually narrow it.
Depending on the depth of tone, it affects the psyche and nervous system of people in different ways and this must be taken into account when designing a gray bathroom.

- Dark grey. The color of stability and self-confidence, it is ideal for people who set themselves high goals and strive for them. This shade does not look very good as a base color for bathroom decoration, as it can be depressing for some people.
However, the dark gray color can be used in the design of the bathroom interior, but only as accents, for example, allocating space above the sink or next to the bathtub. nine0098 - Grey-blue. Pigeon wing color, as it is also called, will give the bathroom a refined and noble look. This coolish tone is ideal for decorating a room in a classic style, although it will also look good in interiors of modern trends.

IMPORTANT! Dark grays suggest stability and certainty, while lighter shades create an impression of uncertainty and blur the space visually.
What colors go with
Gray in bathroom interiors is most often combined with the following colors:
.
This combination, considered classic French chic, since it is in France that it is most often used in interior design, does not look boring or uninteresting. Black successfully sets off gray tones and gives them a touch of exquisite luxury and perfection. nine0003
White. A win-win classic combination that brings peace, serenity and lightness to the interior. But with this design option for the bathroom, it is very important to keep the white balance: its excess will visually turn the bathroom into a kind of hospital room.
Red. Arranged in the room in the form of small bright accents, red will dilute the monotony of grayish shades and give the interior liveliness and originality. nine0003
Blue and light blue. Despite the fact that these colors go well with gray, this combination is considered only conditionally suitable for decorating bathrooms. Blue and blue tones will further emphasize the psychological coldness of gray and make the room poor in terms of emotionality and not conducive to calm relaxation.
In extreme cases, a combination of very light, pearl gray tones with rich azure is allowed. It is also allowed to use light blue with dark gray, but as small accents, for example, as a pattern on a tile. nine0003
Yellow. Dusky yellow bathroom can look messy if close lightness variations of the two original colors are used. However, the combination of pearl or graphite with a rich canary can be advantageous due to the fact that gray shades slightly restrain the brightness of yellow, without completely drowning it out, and at the same time they themselves visually acquire a refined and noble depth of tone.
Orange. Bright and saturated shades of orange or carrot can be an unexpectedly successful addition to gray when decorating bathrooms. In combination with it, they not only do not lose their flaming brightness, but, as it were, begin to glow from within. Orange tones are perfectly combined with any grayish shades, giving the interior liveliness and solar warmth.
Green. Not all greens work well with grays. They work best with pearl or other pale shades of the base color. However, for example, a combination of graphite with the color of green apple or lime may turn out to be successful. nine0003
Brown. Brown tones of natural wood are especially good in combination with grayish stone or marble. They bring a touch of sophisticated simplicity to the space and are the perfect complement to minimalist bathrooms.
Selection of gray bathroom furniture
Mirror and matt glass surfaces will look especially good in this bathroom interior.
The color of the furniture can be any of the shades that successfully combine with gray, however, it should be noted that furniture made from natural materials is more suitable for classic interiors than, for example, plastic or assembled from metal structures. nine0003
Wardrobes, shelves and other furnishings should match the style of the overall design.
Dark wood cabinets on curved legs with carvings and inlays are suitable for rooms in classic styles. For modern trends, the best choice will be simple-shaped plastic pieces of furniture and plumbing.
It should also be taken into account that the furniture should look contrasting against the surrounding walls. If the bathroom is finished in light grayish tones, then it is better to give preference to dark cabinets or shelves. And for dark gray walls, furniture in light or bright and contrasting saturated colors will be an ideal complement. nine0003
Silver or chrome fittings and metal parts are preferred. Golden and bronze tones are also acceptable in the design of such bathrooms, but only with certain color combinations in the interior: gray of a different shade, black, orange and brown tones. In all other cases, gilded decor on furniture in such bathrooms is best avoided.
IMPORTANT! Most appropriate in bathrooms, decorated in grayish tones, plumbing looks lighter shade.
