weird question....
O.k. - so, I'm painting the new studio and I'm stuck on a color for the bathroom - it's mid sized and has a large window (so, combination window light and florescent.) I will eventually add lights around the mirror for additional brightness... My question - to models, photographers and makeup artists - what would be a good color? I'd like something that won't affect how you look in the mirror in a negative way (color cast) but I want something nice (not just plain white or cream) any thoughts?

And then I accidentally dropped her flowers into the toilet and it all went down hill... True story. But I love vibrant red walls, although electric green sounds good, too.

Jul 21 06 05:47 am Link Hmm, well I think that anything besides that boring cream or "off-white" colour would be fantastic. Hell, paint it black and write all over it with silver sharpie. Go nuts! Jul 21 06 05:51 am Link You should probably mention what colour you're planning on painting the rest of the studio. Perhaps the bathroom should be that same colour...? Jul 21 06 05:52 am Link the studio is white walls, gray floors and tan curtains - so, kind of an elegant natural thing going on.... my concern for the bathroom, because i would love to go with a bold plum color or a really rich blue/green is that if people apply makeup in there, it will be really hard to get a good idea of what they look like... Jul 21 06 05:55 am Link What do you mean that it would be hard to get a good idea of what they look like? In the bathroom? Or do you mean that they might look weird when they came out of the bathroom and into the more natural-themed studio? Confused  I think you should go with a bold colour for the bathroom. Go with your plum idea or perhaps the deep blue or green. I think it would be a nice change when you have to pee to do it in a colourful environment. Jul 21 06 05:59 am Link i think a soft green would be beautiful. think spring leaves..... Jul 21 06 05:59 am Link hmmm.. maybe I'm thinking about this the wrong way but have you ever noticed that sometimes you look different in different bathrooms? I thought this was a combination of the color of the bathroom creating a color cast on the face and the lighting throwing it off as well...so, like, if you have a bathroom that's really green, you're face would have a green cast to it and it would be difficult to apply makeup correctly... ?? man, maybe I'm way off on that... Jul 21 06 06:03 am Link You all really need to lay off the sauce (just kidding)! You want it neutral, you want lots of light for whomever may be working in there - WHITE.

I'll go with the cream and maybe add some texture to it... Jul 21 06 06:06 am Link U are spot on HUNi the best might be a neutral WARM cream, to beige add accessories inc flowers or ART for colour- not reflected directly into the mirror ps white is too stark, go nearer skin tones Jul 22 06 03:29 am Link r u using the bathroom to photograph in as well as it's usual functions? if so, that would define what colors I choose. If not, go hogwild. Better yet, have an airbrush artist come in and do murals on all the walls. and paint the toilet ! Jul 22 06 07:25 am Link You are right. Whatever color you choose will create a slight color cast and could potentially effect the way someone applies makeup. White may be boring but I think it's the best choice if you're concerned with the best lighting to apply makeup by.

Jul 22 06 12:14 pm Link I just did my own bathroon last week, and did it in white and black tiles, it look amazing! I have a pretty big window at the end of it, so it has lots of light. But the combo if white and black looks soooo good! Wich I could have done one more!  Good luck!
