Our new furniture arrives in a month and so we decided to paint before then. We are doing SW paints. Accessible beige will be in the main areas of our open concept home (living room, kitchen, hallway, breakfast nook and entryway). Cream trim will remain the same. DD chose Blue Sky for her room, DS2 chose Osage orange for his, and DH and I will have Soft Apricot in ours. Rock Garden will be in the dining room.
DS1's room and the basement family room, bath, and toy closet will be done after furniture arrives, so still deciding on those colors.
We have a full bath and a half bath off the hallway with DD's room at one end and DS2's room the other end. Which color(s) would you do in those bathrooms? Half bath is for guests and full is used by DD and DS2. Also not sure what color to do in our primary bathroom, the mudroom and laundry room.
Suggestions? I don't want to go overboard, but seems like we will already have lots of colors. I also like Naval and Alexandrite.

Bathrooms don’t have to match bedrooms in my mind, particularly if they are off the hallway that is neutral.
Is there any permanent colour in the bathroom? Tiles, or fixtures? If you have shower curtain you could choose one the kids agree on and pull a colour from there if you want to coordinate.
We just painted our bathrooms SW silver strand. It’s a light green-grey color. We have grey countertops in the bathrooms so it is a nice compliment to them.

This is our tile. Cabinets are a dark brown and counters are light/creamy. 2 big mirrors also dark stain. All pretty neutral, could go with most things. Might eventually paint cabinets, but not now.

Personally I don't have a problem with many different colors in a house. Especially for personal spaces like bedrooms and bathrooms.
Our primary bedroom is sort of similar to your color, maybe a little pinker (Clare Meet Cute). I'm currently talking my H into doing our bathroom in a color similar to Rock Garden, maybe a little lighter/greener (Clare Daily Greens). I love blush and dark green together. Naval would look nice too. Most of our wall space is white tile though so we can do a dark color in there.
