Green, the color of harmony and nature, is ideal for living spaces such as the kitchen or living room, but it also looks good in the home office because it promotes concentration. Green as a wall color comes in many colors and shades from light to dark and each of them has a different effect in the room. We'll show you some excellent ideas using three of the most popular shades of green in the modern home - olive green, sage green and mint green.
Olive green is a color found in nature that evokes a feeling of warmth and comfort. In Asian tradition, the green color represents hope and joy of life. Olive green is a muted shade of green that creates a cozy, relaxed ambience in any room. The perfect background for furniture in light colors.
Sage green is a pastel green and suitable for almost every living space. It can appear playful, relaxing, sophisticated or funky depending on the colors it is combined with. This versatility makes sage green the perfect choice for both traditional and modern style rooms.Sage green wallsprovide a beautiful backdrop for contrasting furniture and accessories.
If your walls are already looking boring and you're looking for a fresh shade, mint green is a nice alternative to regular neutral colors. This color brings brightness to the room and has a relaxed and subtle look. The mint green wall color can be beautifully combined with furniture and home accessories in pink, white and yellow.
Moss green is a dark green shade that creates security. The wall color relaxes the eyes and promotes concentration. It is perfect for the home office, dining room or as an accent in the living room. Dark brown and cream are perfect combination partners. To prevent the room from appearing gloomy, add accents with decorative bowls in copper or gold and vases made of smoked glass. Table lamps and plant pots in soft cream or old white shades can also provide variety. Picture galleries also look good on the dark wall, as the color draws the eye directly to the pictures.

Forest green is reminiscent of a walk in summer, where the green color can be seen in many shades. The color itself does not have a RAL number and every manufacturer interprets it differently. That's why you can find different shades in stores, ranging from strong leaf and grass green to subtle patina green. It is therefore advisable that you remember the color mixture carefully when purchasing and possibly write down the manufacturer's number for the color in case you want to touch up individual areas later. The subtle colors create harmony in combination with light gray RAL 7035 and cream white RAL 9001. Strong matt shades such as fir green can also be easily combined with honey yellow RAL 1005 and golden yellow RAL 1004. The wall color “forest green” is ideal for the bedroom as it has a calming effect and can relax the senses after a long and stressful day.
Lime green, similar to forest green, has many facets. The basic tone is a bright green nuance that invigorates and brings a spring mood into the room. In order for lime green to develop its full effect, it needs a light-flooded room. The south-facing living room is best. Since it tires your eyes after a while, it is only partially suitable for sleeping areas. However, you can paint a wall in the kitchen or living room in the accent color. The color gives the interior character and, together with snow white, off-white and cream, creates a harmonious ensemble. Furniture made from light oak, larch or teak adds a homely touch. Home accessories in gold or vases made of brown smoked glass effectively round off the modern color palette.
Light lime green is clearly different from lime green. It is a nuance that appears reserved. It is more intense than mint green, but still appears delicate, gentle and subtle. Ideal color partners are nude shades such as cream and ivory. Black creates attractive contrasts and white is the perfect background color that makes the light lime green shine. In contrast to lime green, the lighting of the room does not play a major role in achieving a successful end result. Light lime green is perfect as an accent color in large living areas, for example on the wall behind the couch, and can loosen up the strict, purist look of minimalist furnishings.
The soft, trendy color jade green relaxes the eyes and creates a visual sense of calm in the room. The color exudes sophistication and is perfect for use in eclectic interiors. The light green nuance effectively combines contemporary furniture with vintage accessories. If you want to bring a fresh touch to your old apartment, then jade green is the perfect choice. To prevent the room from appearing cool, add accents with colors from the powder palette such as pink or apricot. Ice blue gives the living area freshness and harmonizes perfectly with the jade green wall color. If you are keen to experiment, you can try a combination with emerald green. Coordinated, tone-on-tone ensembles are also possible, but here you need a sure instinct to use the colors appropriately in the room. Niches and corners in particular come into their own with a green color palette. Matching: furniture and floorboards made of light wood give the interior a homely touch. The jade green nuance can also be beautifully showcased together with home accessories in copper colors.
The bright apple green brings a touch of freshness to the room. It is suitable for anyone who appreciates a neutral color palette but at the same time wants more pizzazz. Light nuances such as oak, ash, creamy white and white ground the color, while black creates exciting contrasts and gives the room character. Apple green is also ideal for tone-on-tone furnishings where several shades from the same color family are used. In any case, beginners should stay away from it, because cleverly combining several shades of green with each other is an art in itself.
Apple green is also a popular color for retro-style interiors. It is mainly used as a base tone for ombré walls; often not only the wall but also the furniture - for example the kitchen cabinets - are painted in the same color.
