Going Green: 3 Inspiring Paint Colors


Warmer than blue but every bit as ethereal, green hues can be soothing, sophisticated, and delightfully subtle. Whether you’re looking to refresh a room or enhance a small space, the perfect verdant shade can be beautifully transformative. To further encourage those interested in going green, here are a few of our favorite shades:

Green Blue by Farrow and Ball – Perfect for a mudroom, bathroom, or butler’s pantry, this tone works well on wood cabinetry and adds just the right amount of brightness with its blue tinge.

Silver Sage by Benjamin Moore – This non-color is a chameleon that would look lovely in a living room. A timeless shade, it pairs well with almost anything.

Sea Foam by Benjamin Moore – The lightest of our top three, we love this color for bedrooms and bathrooms. Bright and versatile, it’s like a breath of fresh air.
