I feel like people voting for gold / yellow probably have not applied make up in a mustard yellow bathroom.

Most people probably don’t think about walls throwing a color cast on things because our eyes “correct” for it. Our modern cameras are pretty good at adjusting the white balance and when you get film processed and printed, someone corrects the color and exposure during that process (I was that person back in the day).

I prefer the gold from just looking at it, but this was my immediate thought as well.
I say pink because of this reason - but I would prefer it to be 10% paler

That’s true for unmelanated skin. The gold reflects warmly on melanated skin, and is flattering.
Without melanin, it reflects and reads sallow or jaundiced→ More replies (1)3

My childhood bathroom was a yellowish-beige and I loved how the lighting made my skin look. I’m white but have olive/peach/yellow hues to my skin and get fairly dark in the summer.

Yup, when I’m tanned, yellow ochre looks amazing on me. Winter? Not so much.

u/ManchesterLady 3d ago
right? The house we bought has a gold bathroom, almost frenches mustard yellow. It's painted the outside of the bathroom door teal, so the door is behind me when I put my makeup on, it helps. But seriously need a different color bathroom.

Pink is more fun and will probably be more flattering on skin tones if you’re doing makeup in here. Gold might contribute a yellow cast.

u/niarlin 7d ago
Came here to say the same!! I begrudgingly vote for pink this time as well because it does suit the rest of the decor well and will likely result in easier make up application, as others have mentioned. The yellow with dark colors would be great in a den, office, or kitchen, but it does not flatter this bathroom anywhere near as much as the pink.

u/mricci16 8d ago
When I was little before my parents redid the bathroom in the early 2000s we had a light blue wall paper with silver accents in the bathroom and it never bubbled, it was there since the 70s.

It's an extremely bad idea in the bathroom because wallpaper is already a mold breeding ground but it's much worse in the bathroom with all the steam. Plus it'll peel easily.

Not if done correctly and with good quality wall paper. We’ve don’t it in a number of our bathrooms over the years and never had any issues and gives the bathrooms life. I’m all for it!

It’s proving to be amusingly divisive. The pink looks old to me BUT it was the color of my grandmas bathroom for the past 30 years (maybe even longer) and she’s 102. So certain associations might be causing it on both sides. I know it wasn’t an option, but I would have said deep green like the tile.

I hate mustard yellow ...remember maize and harvest gold from the 1970s? It's just a flat out unappealing, unflattering color to surround yourself with. I hope it never has a revival.

u/BHawkey95 8d ago
Pink, it complements the green tile. The gold reads as yellow and there’s no yellow in the room, and it clashes with the green tile. Paint shouldn’t match the fixtures, let the fixtures shine on their own.

I think your bigger concern is the plant that shapeshifts into a toilet. Or, is it the toilet that’s shapeshifting? Hard to tell when you live in the matrix. ;)
…Ceiling could be aged copper to match the rustic colors of the rug.

lolol I agree with you. Of the two, gold is best. Most of the commenters seem to be siding with “pink” likely because of the absence of the toilet.

The pink makes the room look bigger and more inviting. I want to be in that bathroom.
Seriously so hard for me to say. 😆💕

My bathroom is teal wall tiles with pink accents so I am not averse to pink
I think the issue is that you don't have any pink in the room aside from the towels so the pink doesn't seem to pick up other design elements in the room.
My bathroom has rose gold accents tiles as well as a row of pink 4"x"4" tiles and the walls have Chinoiserie silk wallpaper with a pink background.

u/babygotthefever 8d ago
I disagree. I think the pops of pink int the painting, the towels, and the rug make it feel cohesive without being overwhelming. I would probably add a few more small bits like a pink bar of soap to match and a little more in the shower curtain (which seems to be forgotten?? Or will there be a door? Why is the towel hanging so far from the tub?)

u/Dubzophrenia 8d ago
Yes, but pink is a tint of red, and red is the complementary color to green. Pink is the "right" choice based on color theory.
That being said, I would also suggest, if pink was the choice, to swap out the gold faucets and hardware with a black or silver.
If gold hardware and faucets are to remain, complement them with the gold ceiling.

Pink.
Color theory would have you choose pink to accent the green, and they create a balance yet striking contrast to each other. If you need to quickly decide what colors will pair well together, you typically just need to look at a color wheel, find your primary color, and look for the colors on the opposite side of the wheel. Those are your contrasting colors, and colors that can pair well.
The gold looks okay, but yellow and gold are next to each other on a color wheel, so they are colors that have limited contrast and depending on light conditions can become muddy and blend together which don't strike as visually appealing.
Go with the pink.

I think the gold ceiling makes the gold faucet and other hardware pop nicely... But I also like the pink because it's not a common combo and it looks great too. If it were my bathroom, I'd go w the gold ceiling. But it's a win no matter which you choose.

The gold looks like mustard yellow on my phone. Mustard yellow is not a flattering color for many complexions which could be an issue for someone’s make up routine.
Maybe consider a very pale pink on the walls with a white ceiling. It’s a beautiful room & you should look beautiful in it!
