Which Green will look Gorgeous on Your Walls?

Did you know that the human eye can detect more shades of green than any other color on the spectrum? This stunning and incredibly diverse color (or group of colors) can set just about any mood: bright and peppy, earthy and calm, or even dark and moody. With such a vast array of choices available to you, the question is not whether or not green works well with your interior design – it’s which shade of green will work best.

The Orlando interior painters at New Ceilings have painted with just about every shade of green under the sun. With the help of the color professionals at Sherwin-Williams, here are a few shades of green to consider for your next interior painting project:

• Light, pastel greens: These airy, often delicate colors can impart a sense of calm to any room and play well with natural light. Colors like Springtime 6708 from Sherwin-Williams go well with just about any neutral under the sun, and fit right in with gold, silver, or bronze fixtures. This is a great shade for a bathroom or a child’s room.

• Lime green to chartreuse: Not for the faint of heart, shades like neon, lime green and chartreuse are vibrant, lively, and lots of fun. While some people find these shades overwhelming, they’d be perfect used for an accent wall or even in a foyer to make a gutsy first impression. Take a look at Center Stage 6920, and use a delicate hand with this one – it’s easy to overdo it.

• Darker, olive-toned greens: Darker greens, the more sultry counterparts of the group, add a great deal of warmth and earthiness to any room. Shades like Sherwin-Williams’ color of the month, Saguaro 6419, impart a sense of retreat and relaxation, making them perfect for a busy person’s bedroom. These tones play well with bright and neutral accents alike.

There really isn’t a right or a wrong way to use green; it’s a versatile color that could create flow and harmony in just about any room. Not sure how to embrace your inner green thumb?
