Green paint covers a wide range of shades, from the palest pastel to bright grass and pistachio hues through to deep bottle green that’s the perfect choice for a heritage library or living room. A subtle blend of blue and yellow imbues green paint with real depth and a balance of both cool and warm elements that allow it to perfectly partner with a huge variety of colors. The natural beauty of green makes it an obvious pairing with colors such as beige and brown, creating a wonderfully potent, earthy palette that’s ideal for country homes and cottage-style interiors.

For a more unusual combination, green and pink work surprisingly well together, bringing a soothing and restful ambience to a traditional living room, especially when combined with a signature floral wall mural or classic wallpaper design. And forget the adage that ‘blue and green should never be seen’, because green and duck egg blue are a match made in heaven. In a contemporary setting, green and gray - both warm and cool variations - is a winning partnership, adding a sleek sophisticated ambience to a large living room or bedroom.
