Best Shades of Green and Where to Use Them

Green paint always knocks it out of the park, from calming mint to enigmatic emerald, a shade of green suits every purpose. Whether you want to freshen a single room with green or create a cohesive environment with various shades, Red Star Paint & Decorating Center is here to help you develop a curated palette that suits your home.

How to Complement Shades of Green

This won't come as a surprise, but green is a fantastic way to accent any color scheme. Pair it with neutral hues to invigorate settings with abundant beige, cream, and other calm, quiet shades. Enliven cool tones by pairing green with blues or purples to create an ambiance of calming elegance. Using green with warm colors, like shades of yellow, orange, and red, gives a space an inviting aesthetic with intentional dramatic contrast.

Sage Green Colors

Sage is one of the most appealing shades of green. It's fresh, earthy, and humble. Benjamin Moore Saybrook Sage HC-114 is a hushed aloe with a hint of gray that looks sensational in bedrooms and bathrooms. Try Benjamin Moore Smokestack Gray 2131-40 to add moody depth to sage green with its blue, green, and gray tones. Pair Saybrook Sage with a balanced greige for a brighter aesthetic, like Benjamin Moore Tapestry Beige OC-32.

We Love These Dark Shades of Green

Benjamin Moore Juniper Green 601 is a rich emerald with striking blue undertones. To give your dining room a sophisticated appearance, pair Juniper Green with Benjamin Moore Majestic Mauve 2116-60, a frosty lilac with a hint of soft gray. Use Majestic Mauve on the ceiling for an unexpected touch of color that won't overpower the drama of Juniper Green. You can give your kitchen a glow-up by painting your cabinets with Juniper Green and using Benjamin Moore Moonlight White OC-125, a versatile white with silvery green tones, on the walls and island.

Make your bedroom a relaxing oasis with the lush, dark tones of Benjamin Moore Courtyard Green 546. It has just enough brightness to be playful without shedding its dramatic demeanor. We recommend Benjamin Moore Sweet Spring 1500, a charming gray-green, for the trim and closet doors. If your taste favors the bold, exhilarating appearance of dark colors, Benjamin Moore Evening Sky 833's vivid blend of obsidian and midnight blue is an excellent hue to accent Courtyard Green.

Create Energetic Spaces with a Jaunty Green

Benjamin Moore Kiwi 544 is a vibrant yellow-green with a spirited tropical vibe. Kiwi is ideal for casual living rooms and exciting entryways. Complement its brightness with Benjamin Moore Soft Shell 015, a cheerful peachy pink. Another option is to create an environment of relaxed confidence with Benjamin Moore Shale 861, a mid-tone gray with warm undertones, or Benjamin Moore White Heron OC-57, a bright white with a slightly cool cast.
