Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that White Dove will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Galt Blue would.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
