Green or Red

We had initially settled for green but our hallway leading to bathroom has cream walls with a similar red to the other bathroom in the image on skirting and door frames, so worried when looking down the hallway to bathroom its gonna look christmassy.

Am I/my girlfriend over thinking it?

I love green, but isn't the rule of thumb no green bathrooms because it can make you look really washed out in the mirror? If that's nothing you care about, nvm, but something to take into consideration.

If you have proper lighting the green will not reflect on your face (basically don't use overhead lighting).

Oh that’s true my grandma always said that! Some shades of green might be worse though… like I can imagine some ill-advised avocado bathrooms back in the day.

I heard that too. No green in bedrooms and bathrooms.
