Emerald Green Bathroom Geometric Wall Molding
Emerald Green Bathroom Geometric Wall Molding: wall elevation, color data (LRV 12.6), bathroom layout for 5, 7, 9 ft walls, cut list, calculator and pre-cut k
Project calculator
Overview
Emerald Green is a dark blue with a blue (cool) undertone and a calculated LRV of 12.6. Against white trim the contrast ratio is 5.36:1, which gives clear contrast; painted tone-on-tone, the geometric pattern shows only through its shadow lines.
Geometric 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 2 frames per row, each 36 in wide, with 50 in upper and 21 in lower frames. The layout uses about 29.87 m of 2.5 cm molding, or 13 sticks of 240 cm, including 10% waste. Use moisture-resistant polystyrene outside the shower spray zone and a bathroom-rated paint.
Building the geometric pattern
Fix the outer frame, then run diagonals corner to corner. Each diagonal end is cut at the frame's angle; measure it once per frame size and reuse the cut.
Painting molding in Emerald Green
Blues work best fully drenched: wall, molding and chair rail in one color, with a slightly higher sheen on the trim.

How much molding do I need for a 7 ft bathroom wall with geometric frames?
About 29.87 m (98 linear ft) including a chair rail and 10% waste, which is 13 sticks of 240 cm. That assumes 2 frames per row, 36 in wide, on an 8 ft ceiling.
Is Emerald Green warm or cool?
Emerald Green has a blue (cool) undertone and reads as a dark blue. Its calculated LRV is 12.6, so it absorbs light, so tone-on-tone molding reads as deep relief.
Should trim be the same color as Emerald Green walls?
Painting the molding the same color gives a modern, tone-on-tone finish where only shadows show the pattern. White trim adds clear contrast (5.36:1), and black trim gives 2.77:1.
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.
