Dark Green Bathroom Double Frame Wall Molding: wall elevation, color data (LRV 5.8), bathroom layout for 5, 7, 9 ft walls, cut list, calculator and pre-cut ki
Project calculator
Overview
Dark Green is a dark green with a green undertone and a calculated LRV of 5.8. Against white trim the contrast ratio is 8.74:1, which gives strong, graphic contrast; painted tone-on-tone, the double frame pattern shows only through its shadow lines.
Double Frame layout on a 7 ft bathroom wall
Molding over the full wall height, upper and lower rows divided by a chair rail. On a 7 ft wall with an 8 ft ceiling this gives 3 frames per row, each 22.7 in wide, with 50 in upper and 21 in lower frames. The layout uses about 39.34 m of 2.5 cm molding, or 17 sticks of 240 cm, including 10% waste. Use moisture-resistant polystyrene outside the shower spray zone and a bathroom-rated paint.
Building the double frame pattern
The inner outline sits 1.5 in inside the outer one. Cut a 1.5 in spacer from an offcut and use it at every corner so the two lines stay parallel.
Painting molding in Dark Green
Greens are the most popular color for tone-on-tone molding walls: the shadows of the frames add depth without breaking the color.

Questions
How much molding do I need for a 7 ft bathroom wall with double frame frames?
About 39.34 m (129 linear ft) including a chair rail and 10% waste, which is 17 sticks of 240 cm. That assumes 3 frames per row, 22.7 in wide, on an 8 ft ceiling.
Is Dark Green warm or cool?
Dark Green has a green undertone and reads as a dark green. Its calculated LRV is 5.8, so it absorbs light, so tone-on-tone molding reads as deep relief.
Should trim be the same color as Dark Green walls?
Painting the molding the same color gives a modern, tone-on-tone finish where only shadows show the pattern. White trim adds strong, graphic contrast (8.74:1), and black trim gives 1.7:1.
How high should the chair rail be in a bathroom?
About one third of the ceiling height: 32 in on an 8 ft ceiling, 36 in on 9 ft and 40 in on 10 ft. Use moisture-resistant polystyrene outside the shower spray zone and a bathroom-rated paint.
