I think that if I was ever inclined to paint my bathroom ceiling black, I would also get glow-in-the-dark stars to put on the ceiling. Not the five-pointed kind that look cartoon-y, but instead the kind that actually look like what you'd see in a planetarium. Can you imagine soaking in the tub with a glass of wine in the dark and gazing up at stars?

Well, it isn't "glow-in-the-dark". There are fiber optic kits-

It's a slow and arduous process to punch each individual optic strand through- but it's been done!

I looked up Sea Salt and it looks like a medium sagey-green, which is what I painted the bathroom in my last house. It was very relaxing, and I used peach towels and found a shower curtain with both colors in it that really tied it all together.

I don't like white in bathrooms. It's very harsh on the complexion.

Oh, wow! Thanks for that link and information! I do a lot of slow and arduous miniatures construction already (I'm currently working on constructing a miniature synagogue), so this looks like another fun project!

I like Sherwin Williams “Jogging Path”. Its a neutral, calm, greenish grayish. Sweet color. Get it in Satin, not semi-gloss.

Here’s a photo of it in a bathroom. https://www.houzz.com/photos/master-...hvw-vp~2192895

Heck, when I clicked on your thread, I thought you were looking for suggestions for a good painting to put up in your bathroom.
