Meaning that the walls will appear lighter in color to the eye. If you want to keep a deep tone in your bathroom... color wash with a glaze that is deeper. You can use the color chart that your original paint color came from and go down the chart one or more steps to find a deeper color. You can also change the brown/gold color to a more amber or butterscotch color by glazing with an orange/gold (amber) color. Hi Robin
