The Best Small Bathroom Paint Colors

Here are the best paint colors to use in your small bathroom, no matter what aesthetic you want it to have!

Spa-Like Bathroom Paint Colors

People love spa vibes in a bathroom. This is usually achieved by painting the walls a very light beachy color - like mint green or pale blue.

Create a serene and tranquil spa-like atmosphere in your small bathroom with these calming hues:

  • Sherwin Williams Sea Salt
  • Benjamin Moore Gray Cloud
  • Behr Mineral
  • Sherwin Williams Rainwashed
  • Benjamin Moore Tranquility
  • Sherwin Williams Oyster Bay
  • Benjamin Moore Beach Glass
  • Behr Watery
  • Sherwin Williams Comfort Gray
  • Benjamin Moore Palladian Blue

Light and Bright Bathroom Paint Colors

White or very light walls can make a room feel larger. So, it's no surprise that so many like a white or nearly-white bathroom.

To make your small bathroom feel larger and more open, consider these light and airy colors:

  • Sherwin Williams Dover White
  • Benjamin Moore Simply White
  • Behr Chic Gray
  • Sherwin Williams Alabaster
  • Benjamin Moore Classic Gray
  • Behr Silver City
  • Sherwin Williams Pure White
  • Benjamin Moore Moonshine
  • Behr Gentle Rain
  • Sherwin Williams Whisper

Dark and Moody Bathroom Paint Colors

On the opposite end of the spectrum, a dark color can be fun, especially if you want to make a small bathroom feel like a highlight of your home.

For a luxurious and dramatic effect, these rich, muted jewel tones can turn your bathroom into a cozy, opulent space:

  • Sherwin Williams Naval
  • Benjamin Moore Kendall Charcoal
  • Behr Nocturne Navy
  • Sherwin Williams Iron Ore
  • Benjamin Moore Wrought Iron
  • Behr Dark Ash
  • Sherwin Williams Tricorn Black
  • Benjamin Moore Deep Space
  • Behr Espresso Beans
  • Sherwin Williams Black Fox
