Which shade of green should you choose?
Color appears when yellow and blue are mixed, and its shades differ in the saturation of one or the other tone. At the same time, black is added to dark ones, and white is added to light ones.
Recently, rich, deep tones have gained great popularity:
- malachite;
- emerald;
- needles;
- turquoise;
- nephritis.

Armchairs, sofas, poufs, headboards and other soft elements in dark velor upholstery look noble and elegant. Deep shades of green in the interior look no less impressive on visually smooth matte surfaces. You can't go wrong with contrasting white.
Light colors give a feeling of freshness, cheerfulness, and fun. Unsaturated olive, mint, pistachio, and lime are even used on the walls, but a bright green room will look too much—poisonous tones are only allowed in details.

A separate group includes gray-green shades: asparagus, marsh, camouflage. Complex green tones are appropriate in any interior: from classic to modern. Walls, large furniture, and textiles look good in these neutral shades.

Complex combination with white and green
- with a yellow-green color (2). These shades contrast in saturation. Yellow-green is similar to white-green in lightness and even tone, but due to the difference in their intensity, the eye completes intermediate colors, which, in fact, we do not see.
- with denim color (3) - a bright contrast of light and dark. By themselves, green and blue (borderline colors on the color wheel) give an unrealistic combination, also with the effect of complementing the intermediate shades. In this case, blue is much darker than white-green; they create a clear border that can be used to emphasize the shape of objects.
Add white, pale pink, bronze brown and navy blue to the mix.
The best combinations of green with other colors
In fact, what color goes with green in the interior depends on the shade of green. Let's look at the main tandems.
Interior in gray-green color
Gray is universal in itself, so it will suit any occasion, no matter what green shades of the room you choose.
A win-win rule is to combine dark with dark. Wet asphalt or graphite with emerald. And for light mint or salad, on the contrary, choose Gainsborough or platinum.
Typically, grayish walls act as a backdrop for bright greenish furniture.

Blue-green interior
The green color in the interior in combination with blue becomes colder, keep this in mind when decorating the room. A room designed in these shades does not tire or irritate; on the contrary, it promotes relaxation and gives the eyes a rest.
Advice! Use blue-green colors in the kitchen if you set yourself the goal of losing weight or maintaining weight. This palette reduces appetite.
In the bedroom and children's room, blue in combination with pale green promotes quick sleep and quality rest.

White-green color
Universal white is suitable for shades of any saturation: pure. dusty and dirty, light and dark. But it looks best in contrast with a bright or deep color.
White, like gray, becomes the background - decorate the walls and large details with it, and add accents with green furniture and accessories.

Green with brown tones
It is difficult to find a more natural combination of green with other colors than this. Look at any tree or plant and you will see how the shades harmonize perfectly with each other.
The best duet is formed when using a complex undertone: olive, emerald, malachite, asparagus. Brown, however, is better to take dark: chocolate, coffee. But even with light beige the combination will turn out to be interesting.

- The contrasting duet with red is energetic, invigorating, lively. If you don’t want the interior to be oppressive, use scarlet in limited quantities, it should not be enough. At the same time, do not forget that the darker the green, the deeper the red should be.
