Covington Blue & the white of porcelain
Robin’s Egg Blue wasn’t enough… here I go again with the blue-green hues. I painted our bathroom Covington Blue (Benjamin Moore #HC-138) and I’m loving it. (It reminds me of the bathroom in my Nana’s cottage on Martha’s Vineyard from many years ago.) It’s cozy, beachy, summery… not too cool, not too warm, and works really well in a small space.
Covington Blue Bathroom
Because Covington Blue is deeper & darker than a Robin’s Egg Blue, I painted it only 3/4 of the way up the wall, trimming it off and using a soft white above. For the white, my goal was to find a one very close in tone to the porcelain of my pedestal sink, tub & toilet. And after about 7 sample jars of paint, the hands-down winner was White Dove (Benjamin Moore OC-17). It’s the perfect bathroom white. (I used satin on the walls, but semi-gloss for the cabinet and trim.)
