Bold colors need good lighting to show their true hue. Insufficient light makes bold colors look flat and muddy.
In small bathrooms, paint all walls the same color including the ceiling for a spa-like effect. In larger bathrooms, an accent wall behind the vanity or tub works well.
Paint the vanity a bold color against neutral walls. Or do a half-wall of color with white above for a clean, classic look.
Satin gives bold colors depth and richness. Matte works but can look chalky on very saturated colors.
Bold colors almost always require primer (gray-tinted primer for best results) and 2-3 coats of paint.
Always use semi-gloss or satin finish in bathrooms. Moisture-resistant paint is non-negotiable — flat paint will grow mildew in humid environments.
