I want to paint my bathroom but it has a harvestgold shower surround ,,what colors go with that I'm lost?

To decorate using the harvest gold as a color, use a warm chocolate brown and a reddish orange (like leaves in the fall). Also mix in some fluffy white towels. Paint the walls the exact same color as the tub and it will make it seem like the harvest gold was on purpose. Hang towels in brown, reddish-orange and white. Add a couple of framed prints from nature...plants or leaves or flowers. You can also use a deep evergreen color as well.





Second option, navy blue, harvest gold and white.





Third option, match the color of the tub. On the paint strip find the lightest color and the darkest color. Paint the walls the lightest color. Paint a 5 inch horizontal stripe around the room in the shade that matches the tub and paint a 2 inch matching stripe using the darkest shade leaving 1/2 inch from the 5 inch stripe.I want to paint my bathroom but it has a harvestgold shower surround ,,what colors go with that I'm lost?
you might consider having the surround resurfaced in a new color... They have liners that pop in right over the existing unit and is alot cheaper than trying to replace t entirely.





As far as colors that match harvest gold... any autumnal colors will look fine, but maybe out of season during spring/summer months....
You can use creams and a combo of cream and white, with matching gold accents or accent paint or window pull shade.


You might want to see if you can prime and paint the shower surround. You might be able to do that, check with a home improvement store to see if that is possible. If it is, you can have whatever colors you want after that.
Harvestgold. Can we say ewwww.





There are companies that can provide an epoxy coating to change the cover. I don't think I could face a harvestgold shower first thing in the morning.
Red goes well with gold. A few years ago we bought an older house that had that ugly gold tile and a white tube. I painted the bathroom Botticelli red (Sherman Williams paint). It turned out really pretty. I used an Oriental rug. The bathroom really looked rich.
1] buy a shower curtain with a tiny bit of gold in it, and other colors you like. Then pick your favorite color and paint the walls that shade.Choose a second favorite for sink accessories [ soap dispenser, tumbler, etc ], and candle holder. Get towel sets in all the colors you like.


2] 'ignore' the gold, and decorate around it. Buy a great two - layer shower [ inner liner and outside for show ] curtain, hang it up high, and keep it closed! Use the colors to decorate, and let people be surprised when they shower.
How about a pale yellow, like Sherwin Williams' ';chamomile?';
