Paint color help needed

[cajunmom]

We want to repaint our master bath. It's currently a golden brownish color called Sweet Maple. Our bedroom is a dark gray called Magnetite. I want to paint a lighter shade of gray in the bathroom. Any recs for a nice gray? I don't want it too light but not dark, either. There's just one big glass block window in that bathroom. Thanks!

ETA: Picture won't load. Oh well.

I've used Behr Paint in Elephant Skin before and really liked it.

Go to the paint store (where you bought the Magnetite paint) and get the color strip on which you find Magnetite. Then go 2 shades lighter on that color strip. You will get a lighter shade that will work perfectly with your bedroom.

Definitely do this.  If you just choose another random gray, they are likely to play off of one another.  One will suddenly look yellow, blue, green, etc.  If you like the color, but not the quality of paint, just take that strip wherever you'd like to buy the paint & they'll match it.
