Can anyone suggest a brown wall paint?

Hi, I’m having trouble choosing a colour for my bathroom walls, I’ve got 10 different paint samples on the wall (favourite so far is dulux beige calm) but was hoping someone might have used a nice brown/beige colour and would be willing to share a picture of how it turned out which might help me decide. Any suggestions are welcome!

Hello @sarah10 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about wall paint.

I've had a look at the Dulux beige calm, and I've noticed in the sample pictures on the internet that most of the room displays have bright floors. Will you be retiling or painting your tiled floor? If you are, I recommend using a light colour to act as contrast to the beige calm.

Darker colours tend to act as a contrast to the light pieces in your bathroom. The shower, vanity and toilet are often white and will now be much more visible due to the contrasting colour. A darker colour also reduces the glare of an all-white bathroom.

Let me call on our experienced members @redbournreno, @lifestylebymari, @Peggers and @prettyliving for their recommendations.
