Your favorite green paint? PIP for inspiration

[TEM325]

Hey girls,

I'm looking for a great green to use in my hallway.....I love this color, but am not married to something so bright. I want to avoid a green that's too blue-toned or sage-ish.

What are your favorite greens?

TIA!

Our dining room is Lime Green by Pittsburgh Paints matched in Behr. It's my favorite color in the house

I can't see your PIP because pinterest is blocked at work.

I'm about to paint my kitchen in SW livable green. I'm excited. it's a nice soft green to my eyes - not blue at all. I think it has more grey undertones than brown, so I wouldn't call it sagey either.

I don't have a picture of it on my walls yet - but here's a random one off the internet:

I used Behr's sagey in one bedroom and mother nature in another. Both are cool, mid tone greens that. Mother nature might fit your criteria while sagey is very sage.

None of my rooms are painted in these colors, but we did strongly consider the first two.

SW Hearts of Palm


SW Parakeet


SW Melange Green (it may read blue in certain lighting; it's hard too tell)

I just did our hall bathroom in SW Contented. I'm not normally a green person, but I really like the way this turned out.

My bedroom is SW Hearts of Palm

It is a very interesting color that changes A LOT with the light. I love it.

Sorry, OT, but as we slowly get all our rooms painted, I'm finding that I LOVE this quality about the colors we've chosen. I'm not sure if it's a thing with higher quality paint, or just because we're going for more complex, subtle colors this time around, but I've never noticed this before and I really really like it.

Me too! I freaked out when we first painted this room (6 yrs ago). It looked bright green at night, but during the day it's subtle & nice.

The new nursery paint is color changing too. Gres/blue/green.

I just painted my kitchen this color! I would PIP but I can't get to my photos at work. I like it best in natural light, during the mornings.

If you're not afraid of bright, we have SW Gecko in our dining nook.

Behr Caraway is a neutral green...love it.

I have used Behr's Asparagus and Scottish Isle (color-matched to Valspar) as well as Valspar's Candied Lime. That last one might be a bit too bright for you, but the other two could work, depending on whether you want darker/lighter. I'll try to PIP later.
