ry these golden green paint colors: Lively Yellow from Sherwin-Williams and Hibiscus from Benjamin Moore are vibrant but not neon, so they work well for small to medium accents. Mystic Melon from PPG is light enough to be used in large doses, and also works well with many other hues. Use a golden green with other shades of green and yellow for a harmonious color scheme.
take inspiration from two of my favorite things to eat and drink: extra-dark chocolate and strong espresso coffee. Black Bean Soup from Benjamin Moore is a rich, dark chocolate brown that works well on an accent wall, such as on a headboard wall to anchor the bed in the room. Sealskin from Sherwin-Williams veers a bit cooler and is an excellent elegant substitute for pure black when the latter would feel too heavy and stark. Cambridge from Pratt & Lambert is lighter than the other two but still deep, earthy and comforting, like a cup of morning brew.
Sorbete de Melon from PPG is the most saturated option of the bunch seen here. It’s a color I’d pair with plenty of white or other light neutrals, or use in a well-lit space. Tangerine Cream from Valspar is slightly less vibrant. Orange Sherbet from Behr is a great option for those desiring a more toned-down version of this hue. It can be used in larger swaths, especially if your room lacks ample natural light.

Pick a Flow-Through Paint create a cohesive feel is to use a consistent paint color on the walls of connecting spaces. “Particularly in homes that have more of an open floor plan, it’s best to choose one color that is going to serve as your main color or your neutral; that doesn’t mean it has to be beige or white or gray; but the foyer, the hallways and that main connector room should all be the same color because you want to have that dominant color in your space

BM Blue Star - It’s a very deep color but still has an inner light and plays with the light beautifully,” Dhong says. He also notes that the antique French barometer on the wall “really pops” against this blue.

Guilford Green has actually long served as one of my go-to exterior house colors. It’s a less-expected neutral alternative to tan and gray, but it’s still mellow enough to use in large doses — as the main siding color. Because of its neutral quality, you can easily pair it with a more vibrant trim or front door color.
as a ceiling color. I like how it picks up the bits of green of the plants as well as in the landscaping just outside the windows.
The color adds a little zing to this minimally decorated space. I think this room would feel too cold and stark if the walls were pure white. Guilford Green offers just enough color to add warmth and life to this room, without being too aggressive with color.
As a neutral, Guilford Green works with a variety of other hues, from warm to cool, but I’m really drawn to this pretty pairing of it with the warm white on the trim. For a similar soothing palette, try Guilford Green with Benjamin Moore’s Cloud White.
Guilford Green for the cabinets in this laundry room. Many laundry rooms have limited natural light, or none at all, so it’s smart to keep the color palette light. But light doesn’t have to mean white, and Guilford Green adds a nice splash of color without making the space feel dark or dreary.
alternative to beige, Guilford Green is an excellent option to consider. It’s a fresh neutral that wouldn’t look out of place in a transitional or traditional living room.
paired with white, Guilford Green looks super fresh and crisp. For those who favor modern interiors, I’d suggest working with a palette similar to this one shown here, or you can use Guilford Green as a neutral base for other, more vibrant colors, such as bolder shades of greens or blues.
slight grayish-brown undertone, Guilford Green plays nicely with a variety of wood tones. It neither fades away nor competes with warm woods, making it an excellent choice if you have wood floors and a roomful of wood furniture and furnishings.
Guilford Green is a soft green that has a touch of gray and brown in it, which gives it a soothing neutral quality.
use on consistent color from room to room but variety amount; green is the main wall color and tan is the accent wall color; in other rooms tan could be main color
select one or two colors and then use variations of it. If the main color is blue, you might select a gray-blue, a pure blue and a navy paint as you move from room to room. The same concept can be used for decorative accessories. For wall paint, you can ask the paint store to create a “tint” of a particular color, perhaps knocking down the main color by 50 percent, which the mixer will do by adding white. “They can create a lighter or darker version of it,” Ott says. “That’s a good way to unite without putting the same color everywhere.” “I also tell people if they’re going to do their wall in this color, go two or three shades lighter for your ceiling so it doesn’t look like a sore thumb because you painted it white,”
pay attention to sightlines - coordinating greens for example

Garden Patch From Dutch Boy I’ve never met a green hue I didn’t like, and Garden Patch is no exception. This grassy green color brings a nice nod to nature into your home. Or use this happy color on the outside as a friendly front door or trim color.
Blueprint From Behr I really like Behr’s selection. Blueprint packs a punch without veering too dark or bold. It’s a good choice for those who crave a bit of drama in a room but still want to keep things fairly neutral. Blueprint has a healthy dose of gray in it, which is what gives it softness. Use this hue in your bedroom or living room or whatever space you’ve deemed your chill-out zone. Just keep in mind that it might feel a bit too chilly in predominantly cold climates.
Metropolitan from benjamin moore - As you can see from these two different photos of it on the walls, the color changes depending on the light and other colors in the room. It’s a very adaptable hue, so you can work almost any other color in with it. I also like this as an alternative to basic white, which is often used as a default color for all walls in a home. Metropolitan offers the slightest hint of color while remaining a quiet backdrop to other colors, textures and decorative elements in a room.
Metropolitan From Benjamin Moore The other whisper-soft selection, Metropolitan, is one of those light gray colors that seems to constantly shift from gray to green to blue.
