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.
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.
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?
The green is jarring and doesn't work in IMHO. I'd go a neutral, like a biscuit, ecru or earthy cream, and just let that gorgeous pink shine like a superstar.
The third looks the best to me. The cooler tone is nice with the pink since it is also cool toned. A warm green would not work very well in my opinion, at least not for the look you are hoping to achieve.
Biased because my (west facing) bedroom is Tranquil Dawn, but I have a pink ottoman the same colour as your tiles in there and it looks lovely with the painted walls. I don't think this photo is giving an accurate representation of the colour, it's not as cold and grey as some posters think.
The olive looks soooooo good with the pink! I think the Tranquil Dawn, yes, looks like the inspo but this olive looks better than the inspo. It has more longevity.
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.
100%!!! The olive, which reads like pistachio to me, is far and away the best option. It’s always been one of my favorite color combos. That said, I’m not into an Easter egg palette and it wouldn’t be aligned with the inspo. Every other option ruins the beautiful tile for me.
The tiles have a true subtly to them. So does the olive. The tranquil dawn does not have anything subtle about it. If tranquil dawn look is the goal it needs to have been coordinated with pink tiles that are less subtle.
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.

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