Help Choosing ';other'; color for Sponge Painting?

We painted out 1/2 bath with Behr ';Cress Green';, which is basically like the color of water cress or grass. We don't hate the look, but think it needs something else. We've decided to sponge paint over the Cress Green color, but we're not sure what color or tint we should try. Any suggestions from the ';color experts' would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!Help Choosing ';other'; color for Sponge Painting?
You can roll on (sometimes rolling on works better than sponging. You keep it with only a bit of paint and the rag is damp. You can roll a brown to sort of antique it or even another shade of green. Since yours is medium green, you can go light or to darker - maybe forest color, but do it light. Can sponge on too, and in that case, use sea sponge with the large holes and do it with wet sponge that is squeezed and do it very lightly. You can responge a bit with the side with no paint on it with the damp sponge too.





I've seen some that were done really really well and looked great. Think sort of Mediterranean look or aged.





Good luck.
