Emily’s 6 Favorite Green Paint Colors She Would Use Again And Again

It felt like an appropriate day to show love for what feels like the world’s most popular color – green. While I’m more of an expert in “blue,” its sister color – green – is also a favorite and beloved by most people. We know that the design world is LOVING reds, burgundies, mauves – all these warm, deep tones, but I personally still think that the right green can be both on trend and more universally loved (long term). Sherwin-Williams has so many different tones of greens that we’ve used over the years, many clocking in as our favorite colors we’ve ever used. So if you are wanting to paint something in your room green, these are ones I love and recommend wholeheartedly. Here we go:

Evergreen Fog SW 9130

Evergreen Fog SW 9130 was the Color of the Year three years ago and sure, I liked it when I saw it but it wasn’t until I painted my brother’s family room this color that I fell in LOVE. My goodness, it’s so pretty and rich – with so many different wonderful undertones that change. Sometimes it’s bluer and other times more gray, but always green for us. I will say that that room has north, south, and western light so it gets a lot (non-direct) and I’m sure that has something to do with it. Additionally, we did sample this color in Brian’s new office, which only has one small window, and in there it read mostly as gray, so it definitely changes depending on the light. You can see the difference above – Caitlin’s hallway is dark (no windows and only a few doorways), so it’s a bit cooler, whereas it’s much greener in Ken’s family room. Also sneak peek – we shot it for a big shoot, but can’t show you the whole room so stay tuned Read More
