Bathroom
For a bathroom, the Behr Night Club N500-7 paint makes a striking statement with a bold color choice that lends sophistication to the space. When deciding on the finish, it is important to match the sheen with the room’s requirements, as different finishes offer varying degrees of durability and ease of maintenance.
For less trafficked, moisture-prone areas, an eggshell or satin enamel finish is recommended because it is sturdy, easy to clean, and effective at resisting dirt, grime, and mildew buildup. For spaces that encounter higher levels of traffic and moisture, a semi-gloss or hi-gloss enamel finish offers enhanced protection and superior resistance to moisture and wear, ensuring the look remains fresh over time.
Bedroom

Due to its deep hue, using this color requires careful consideration of overall brightness, as it can make a room feel smaller and darker. It performs well in areas with low to moderate activity and pairs effectively with lighter colors to balance the space's overall look.

To add visual contrast and interest, incorporate metallic accents on fixtures and decorative elements. The bold color can serve as a foundation for various design arrangements, including monochromatic or analogous schemes, and it pairs well with warmer, orange-hued accents for a vibrant effect. Using lighter colors on trim, ceilings, or backsplashes further helps maintain brightness and openness in the space.
