Hi Jeri, your question seems to have been cut off. I assume you are wanting to find a good color to go with an almond bath/shower surround? Let us know and many will help you with ideas. Thanks!
I'd suggest picking a shower curtain with a pattern and colors that you love - if almond is in there all the better! Then choose your favorite color from that! :)
Your personal taste/ decor style might dictate your choice. Some folks like bold colors some neutral.
I personally find browsing awesome visuals on Houzz or Pinterest web sites to help collect some ideas to consider/ exclude others in aspects of color choice and styles for decorating and refurb applications.

I think choosing the wrong paint color is probably the most common mistake home decorators make. UGH!
And it can be both costly and time-consuming! But it is reversible!
Here are my quick tips for avoiding this mistake…
Hello Jeri,
Keep the bathroom colours Neutral so you can change the look with Accessories such as Towels, Bath, Mat, Beakers, etc. If you choose Curtains with the colours you love in it, all you need do is choose any one of the colours..... Have fun!

is a subtle mix of gray and brown, which means it’s a greige, however, it does FAVOUR brown over gray.
go get some swatches, then pick your top 2 favorites and get samples of them. Paint them on multiple wall s- big spots - and look during the day, at night, all times of day because the lighting really effects how colors look.
Are you saying Almond around the house now? Do you like bright colors or neutral? I'd go to the paint store and pull out swatches of colors that are your favorites. Bring home sample paints and put them on the wall and see what you fall in love with.
Well, we have an almond surround, tub, toilet, and vanity. We love the colors and you are wondering what will match it. Hmmm, we have lavender walls in there, and it is a no match, sorry.
Experiment with paint chips.
Can you believe it, many say get the apartment white appliances in there, easier to match...sigh.
I agree with the shower curtain dictating your paint palette directions.
After you live with paint chips taped to the wall for a couple of days, but the sample sized paint and paint a large swatch.
Bathrooms must have at least a semi gloss latex enamel to keep the condensation from wicking into the paint & drywall face.
Mold killing primer is worth it, if you've mold issues around the tub shower.
