Caldwell Green

We decided to go with Caldwell Green by Benjamin Moore for the buffet area located on the right side in our Seattle Hill Sunset project.

We aimed to select a green shade with subtle blue undertones to complement their existing decor.

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 shade leans towards a brighter green hue, adding a touch of vibrancy while maintaining a dark and moody effect when paired with other selections. Our intention was to create a dark and moody ambiance with the black tiles, and we aimed to extend that vibe to the paint color. To balance the darkness, we chose a brighter and lighter green shade to infuse a refreshing contrast.

Green Smoke

Green Smoke by Farrow & Ball is a unique hue that effortlessly blends a smoky green with hints of blue, perfectly living up to its name. This color, reminiscent of the late 19th century interior design trends, exudes a timeless elegance and sophistication. When applied in exterior settings, it offers a sense of depth and a weathered charm that beckons nostalgia. On the other hand, when used indoors, it creates a tranquil and serene atmosphere, enveloping spaces with a calming aura that soothes the senses.
