Green is having a moment and we are still loving it. SO, we thought we'd pull together a list of our team's favorite shades of green to inspire your next paint project! Whether it is kitchen cabinetry, a bathroom vanity, your front door, bedroom walls, or home exterior, we've got you covered!
1. October Mist: The Most Beautiful + Serene Sage
Complex yet effortless, October Mist can simultaneously elevate and ground a space in the most amazing way. October Mist has warm yellow undertones which creates a soft and calming energy Its gray undertones help create a balanced pigment that looks beautiful in a variety of spaces and lighting scenarios. Our design team loves that they can pair October Mist with both warm and cool tones for an overall sense of harmony!

2. Narragansett Green: A Complex Chameleon
It's no secret that Narragansett Green is one of our favorite Benjamin Moore colors of all time; we even painted the cabinets in our Seattle design studio this color! We call it a chameleon color because of its inherent morph into different colors depending on the use! We've seen Narragansett Green look rich and forest-like, appear fresh and serene with navy undertones, or even read cool charcoal, all depending on surrounding elements. Narragansett Green adapts to its surroundings, allowing it to be perceived as warmer or cooler, depending on the use. It is fluid, functional, and so beautiful! We love using this color to add a bit of punch and drama to a space.

3. Garden Cucumber: Bright + Bold
We love the richness and depth of Garden Cucumber by Benjamin Moore! A generous dose of blue invokes a stately elegance in this beautiful green. This color is great for adding a saturated pop of color to a room. We used this bold hue to add interest and personality to this otherwise neutral kitchen. Pairing it with aged brass hardware served to elevate the entire space.
4. Saybrook Sage: Soothing Aloe
Soothing and fresh, Saybrook Sage gives us a beautiful, cooler green color without going too minty. A go-to for exterior paint colors or interior cabinets, we've never been disappointed with it! Its balanced composition allows us to pair it with warm and cool tones alike. Mixing warm and cool colors or materials can be tricky to make it feel cohesive and intentional, but Saybrook Sage makes it easy! Loving how this dresser has been brought back to life with this gorgeous color! Painting current furniture is such a great way to give it new life...just like your kitchen cabinets, other wood storage pieces in your home can be completed refreshed and updated with a fresh coat of paint and new hardware.

5. Succulent: Beautifully Botanical
Recently featured in a Phinery kitchen remodel, Succulent by Sherwin Williams is a gorgeous, fresh and contemporary green. It is a beautiful way to connect your space with the outdoors, especially if the room has a lot of windows. Blue undertones keep this color fresh and modern and it pairs beautifully with warm woods for a layered and balanced look.

6. Knoxville Gray: Effortlessly Elevated
A designer favorite! Dark, dreamy, and neutral with rich blue-green undertones, Knoxville Gray is a perfect choice for an office or media room. Pro-tip: color-drench your space with this color to make the room feel larger and more elevated! The darker everywhere-color will be the perfect backdrop for wood furniture, brass or silver photo frames, unique decorative objects, books, and more!
