Painting a bathroom

    Hi all,

    I've decided to refresh the paint in all the bathrooms in the house. I went to woodies, b&q and local hw store and they all have really light shades of bathroom paint. Since I was thinking about painting it a bit darker (like dark navy or darker gray) I wanted to ask you if it would be possible to mix the "regular" interiour colour with white bathroom paint or some white based primer like zinsser 123 just to keep it a bit more resistant? Or is it possible to do it at all?

    I would like to have the benfits of the bathroom paint regarding mold and mildew but still have the shade of colour that I want :D

    Farrow and ball modern emulsion, you should get a colour you like in their range :)

    I presume kitchen ones have the same damp protections?
