Green paint colors are having their moment. They are versatile and can add a sense of peacefulness and sophistication to your home. They can be neutral and organic or bold and vivid. There is no wonder they are all the rage at the moment.

Today I have such a treat for you all. We are talking about the best most amazing green paint colors for the home!

If you haven’t noticed, the color green has been on trend in home decor for a while now. The color is everywhere.

I have to be honest, I haven’t always been a fan of the color. I tried to wear it once and my niece lovingly told me green was not my color. Now, she was only 4 or 5 at the time but kids that age don’t lie. From there on out, I left the color out of my wardrobe.

I think that was the main reason I wasn’t the biggest fan, but over the last few years, it has truly grown on me. I painted the board and batten in my guestroom Benjamin Moore Caldwell Green. That says it all right there.

FINAL THOUGHTS- THE BEST GREEN PAINT COLORS

Having been a non-green color lover, I have to say I feel like I have missed out. I’m so impressed by these colors! Will this change the fact that I still refuse to wear the color? Maybe, but I will, however, use more green in my home.

I think the key to using green paint is finding the right shade for you. Obviously, not all greens are the same.

Some are muted, others a bit more vibrant, some are dark and some are light. Do you catch my drift?

It’s all about finding the one that works best for your home.

If you want to explore the world of green paint colors, I say start by checking the 14 I mentioned. They are all gorgeous and usable shades that will add a sophisticated charm to any place you use them.

It’s safe to say I have officially been converted into a fan. I think it’s a great alternative to the familiar neutrals we know (and love).

If you’re looking for a change, a green paint color on your walls may be what you need!
