Green Paint Colors | Our Top 12 Must-Haves

We’re all about the green paint! Dark, light, moody, deep, pastel… it doesn’t matter… bring it on. 

We’ve been pumped about green paint for some time now and we have a feeling it’s just getting started and won’t be leaving anytime soon. So today on the blog we wanted to share with you our top go-to green paint colors for you to try out if you’re wanting to embark on the green adventure and are feeling overwhelmed. 

Paint Color #1. Hunter Green

Hunter Green by Benjamin Moore is hands down one of my favorite deep and moody green that there is out there! We did this in our basement bathroom and haven’t grown sick of it even in the slightest for over a year now. If you’re looking for a deep, bold, and true green, hunter green is your color! 

Paint Color #2. Tate Olive

Or if you’re looking for more of a soft, pastel green, Tate Olive by Benjamin Moore is your color! Tate Olive for the win on this client’s kitchen island.

Paint Color #3. Caldwell Green

We went with Caldwell Green by Benjamin Moore for this buffet area on the right in our Seattle Hill Sunset project. As you can see in our client’s rug, they love the blue pallets so we wanted to find a green that had some blue hues to it. 

Paint Color #4. Cape Verde 

Cape Verde, Sherwin Williams SW 6482 is what we did in our Craftsmen St. Paul home design project. You can find the full home design reveal here.

This is a bit of a brighter green, yet still gives a dark and mood effect, depending on the alternative selections you pair it with. We were going for a dark and moody vibe with the black tiles, and we knew we wanted to carry that into the paint color without it feeling too dark, so we opted for more bright and light green. 

Paint Color #5. Green Smoke

Green Smoke by Farrow & Ball is just like the name signals, a smoky green-blue. This color was popular in interiors during the late 19th century. It has an irresistibly inviting deepness and weathered familiarity when used in exterior situations while evoking calm and serenity when used inside.

Paint Color #5. Northwoods

Northwoods by Behr is soooo dreamy and another new favorite of ours!! It’s the perfect deep and true green that will bring warmth to any space. We used this color in one of our basement projects where we hired Jkath to custom build the cabinets and finish them off in the color, Northwoods. And let’s just say, we’ve been pushing this color on every client since.

Paint Color #6. Hidden Falls

Hidden Falls by Benjamin Moore is part of their Classic Color Collection.

We used this color for the accent wall in our Wooded Way project. You can find the full lower level reveal with all of the details here. Another light and bright green color, with hues of blue. 

Anther timeless but forward color green! Love how Lindsay from The Buffalo Styling Co used this in her own home where she painted the kitchen cabinets in Hidden Falls. if you’re looking for a little bit of a cooler green, Hidden Falls is the way to go!

Paint Color #7. Pewter Green 

Pewter Green, by Sherwin Williams SW6208, is what we used for the cabinetry in our Duck Lake kitchen remodeling project. You can find all of the details behind this project in the reveal post here. 

It was the perfect color to complement the handmade Mercury Mosaics tile. And we love how it complimented the warm wood tones. As you can tell, this client is a lover of green and we jumped at the chance when she said she wanted all green cabinetry. 

Paint Color #8. Dried Thyme

If you’re looking for a very soft and more neutral green, Dried Thyme by Sherwin Williams will be your color. Pairs perfectly with a warm white, gray or beige. 

And there you have it! Our top favorite green paint colors. You can’t go wrong with any of these.
