Just did SW Mild Blue in a bathroom. I like that it doesn’t read gray at all.

I don’t find light paint spa vibes.
I get it with brown paint family.

You want something more saturated that looks its color in any light. And then you want to make sure you have enough lighting in there to brighten things up. Remember it's not the paint that gives off light, it's lamps.

Thanks PPs. I'm currently trying Sea Salt since it seems to be universally lauded. We'll see. Your point is well taken about light. There is a large pot light over the shower stall, the vanity light, and then a couple pots over the rest of the bathroom (mainly toilet area). I think it's sufficient (and this is place is turn-key, so we're not reno-ing anything).

Can you get it tinted ever so slightly pink? The tiny Pink/purple hue will make your skin glow

This! We did Quiet Moments in a bathroom and it was wonderful. We used BM Silver Crest in another and it's great if you want a slightly more green-blue.

SW Sea Salt is also really nice!

Some pictures, though obviously lighting varies in everyone's home.

We have SW Sea Salt in a bathroom for a spa like vibe. We have a dark green vanity and light wood accents. I love the wall color. I also have Sea Salt in a room with less natural light and I don’t like it as much. It picks up grey with less light, in my experience.

I had a bath that was Wythe blue and loved it which is a little greener than Palladian blue. Why not look at BM Swept Away or In Your Eyes for lighter but similar colors (I haven’t used either). You mentioned only BM colors so I presume that is your preference but if not SW Sea Salt is very popular.

Is there white painted trim? If so, you need to figure out what white it is and what navy blue your vanity is, then find a paint color with similar/analogous undertones. It’s probably clashing undertones that are bothering you more than “too gray”

I’m looking for a light paint color for a windowless bathroom (rowhouse). White subway/glass shower stall with a navy sink cabinet with marble top. I first tried Palladian blue, which I like, but when painted fully might be a little intense and too aqua-ish. I just tried Healing Aloe and it’s reading too gray. Looking to stay in the blue-green or blue family. Can anyone suggest something in the middle? Read that Beach Glass runs muddy, so I think I’ll forgo that one.
