SW Evergreen Fog Bathroom Geometric Wall Molding
SW Evergreen Fog Bathroom Geometric Wall Molding: wall elevation, color data (LRV 30.4), bathroom layout for 5, 7, 9 ft walls, cut list, calculator and pre-cu
Project calculator
Overview
SW Evergreen Fog is a mid-tone green with a green undertone and a calculated LRV of 30.4. Against white trim the contrast ratio is 2.67:1, which gives soft 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 SW Evergreen Fog
Greens are the most popular color for tone-on-tone molding walls: the shadows of the frames add depth without breaking the color.

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 SW Evergreen Fog warm or cool?
SW Evergreen Fog has a green undertone and reads as a mid-tone green. Its calculated LRV is 30.4, so it sits in the mid range, where molding shadows show clearly.
Should trim be the same color as SW Evergreen Fog walls?
Painting the molding the same color gives a modern, tone-on-tone finish where only shadows show the pattern. White trim adds soft contrast (2.67:1), and black trim gives 5.55:1.
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.
