Thx Smoodgie....Colour and your bathroom look great. I really like those pics that you put in your bathroom as well.
Although I'm not sure its the colour that I saw in that model home. I think its alittle darker. I'm not sure but I'm going back there to find out what the colour is. When I re-do my powder room, I want to do in that colour. And then accessorize in silver.
Sure thing :) Check out these threads for pics:

Hey Smoodgie...Can you post a pic of your bathroom..??
Purple Granite IS stunning!! I painted the guest bathroom Purple Granite a couple of weeks ago, and I LOVE it. My hubby things it looks more gray, I think it looks more purple. Either way, it's an amazing, dramatic, beautiful colour :)
I wonder if thats the same colour I seen in a model home last weekend. It was done in the powder room. It was a very dark charcoal colour...but looked like it had a tinge of purple to it. I'm going back to the model home to find out the colour and putting that in my powder room..
The colour was stunning!!!

I discovered that Colour Your World sells ICI paint. There are a couple of CYW stores in the city, so I'll go there to look for the Purple Granite colour chip. If I can't find it, I'll check out the close matches that you found :)
I tried, in Color charts, and this is what I got

to see the acutal colour, go to [url]http://www.colorcharts.org/ccorg/resources/colors.aspx?companyid=124562&lineid=852&cbn=UBL7-5FQ8-MFPW[/url]
SICO, HD's cheap one, CIL and a few other's I believe, oh, also Dulux, and I think Colour your World. Anywya, if you get the "code" for the colour, you can get it colour-matched anywhere
Who sells ICI paint?? According to the ICI web site, there isn't a store within 100 miles of me :( That can't be right!! I need to check out Purple Granite!!
here they are , in no particular order ~ I keep this in my purse for matching when I am out !
I don't have favs b/c I don't want to keep going back to them so I force myself to go toward all colours that way I never get stuck in a rut...like my bdrm I'm redoing right now actually...I don't go toward blue alot so this time I am..I'm gonna post the b4 and after pics once I get it done which s/b sometime this week :)

Ralph Lauren Balmoral Red (my all time fav. red hate the paint but love the colour)
The designers on Cityline named a few of their fav's and I would have to agree. All of those colours are great!
BM Danville Tan (green)
BM Richmond Gray (green)
BM Weston Flax (soft yellow)
We did my dd's room in BM Cumulus Cotton cut in 1/2 and it's such a pretty blue for a baby's room! It looks like the sky in winter.
Can't think of a 5th... we used BM Crown Point Sand in my bedroom, but it's a little greener under certain lights than I wanted it to be.
I think I picked out my colours for my reno.
Roman Ruins (medium brown)--Sico
Shiatsu (light broown)--Sico
Cobalt Blue or
New Brunswick Sky--Sico
Mourning Dove (light grey)--Sico
