Green Paint Colours

Muted greens have been used since the beginning of interior decoration. The muted colours Sage Green, Livid and Pleat in an all-over scheme make a fabulous backdrop when hanging artwork, as they combine so well with both contemporary and classical works. Muted green paints are stunning with gold frames, ideal for dining spaces, studies and places of tranquillity and concentration.

By bringing our gardens and parks indoors, the natural feeling and light that comes with the use of pale green allows us to feel the pleasure of the colour on many levels. The lemony hints that are present in Acorn and Green Stone - Pale bring freshness to a green paint scheme. Whilst those greens with a blueish influence, like Aquamarine and Tabernacle, provide a cleaner interpretation. All are suitable for kitchens and quiet spaces and pair well with strong greens and many neutrals.

The vibrancy of bright green paint colours brings energy to any scheme. Judicious use of strong bright green, such as Olive Colour, can be applied very successfully as all over colours for both woodwork and walls.

The green blues that are termed “aqua” represent an important suite of colours for interior designers. These aqua tones are respected both for their inherent beauty and ability to combine very well with other colours, particularly with natural materials, especially woods. These green paint shades bring with them a clarity of colour even when displayed in very diluted form, as in Aquamarine - Pale. Tea with Florence is a sophisticated darker shade which, along with Aquamarine - Deep and Canton, has the strength to be the lead colour in a scheme. All of these greens make an excellent choice for hallway or living space, especially when used with a pale choice - such as Aquamarine - Pale - to provide contrast and structure.

Whilst retaining their signature of natural heritage, the strong greens take their character a significant step further. These shades of strong green paint create elegance and power wherever they are used. The rich colours found in Invisible Green, Olive Colour and Mid Azure Green will provide a superb wall colour in living spaces alongside artwork and fabrics. Whilst the near black Obsidian Green gives the perfect presentation as a very classical front door colour.
