I'm not fond of green in the bathroom in any of its variations. The reflected light from green surfaces is not very flattering to the skin. Putting on makeup in a green bathroom can lead to some surprising results once you're back in natural light.

#4 is the only bathroom I'd ever consider.

The tub in #1 reminds me of the tub that John Gielgud bled to death in in the movie "Caligula"

The floors in #1 look like they would be dangerous with wet feet.

Other than that, got to love green. As has been mentioned, a terrible color for looking in a mirror. Need to keep that area white and bright.

4, 3, 2, 5.

LOVE the green tile in #4, and I want to paint my bathroom the green color in #3. Beautiful. Bright and fresh but not overpowering. #2 is beautiful, but not my style, at all.

I can't decide how I feel about #1; the tub looks amazing, and that shower should be in my house!, BUT the rest of it seem very cold and uninviting. I'd hate to slip on that floor! Ouch!!

green needs to be paired with something else. not just white and black. especially in the bathroom. ick. maybe pink and green accents. the best is the sunset and i hope that's just the shower in the green tiles and the rest of the room is something else.

Ew...#4 looks like someone's drowning in the tub. Other than that, it's Heath, so obviously gorgeous.

#3 looks like an '80s fern bar. And that's not completmentary btw. Overall, I don't like these and green is not my favorite on walls. It could be these shades of green and style choices but I've noticed recently that green doesn't do it for me.

Though I have to qualify that I just bought green skippys the other day and I love 'em. Go figure.

I like both 3 & 4, though it probably depends on the house. The first one is very impressive, but best for a modern house with a lot of square footage--wouldn't work at all in my 1840s house! I actually google imaged "green tile bathrooms" to see what grout color would look best with some dark green art nouveau tiles we plan on installing...
