An edgier take on classic forest green, this hue feels dramatic yet down-to-earth at the same time. Pair it with black, white and metallic accents for a high-contrast, high-impact space.
Inspired by Nature
A deep green with just a hint of blue, this color brings to mind vibrant evergreen trees. Even a small touch can add a fresh look to a mostly neutral space.
New Neutral
Evergreen-inspired hues are extremely versatile in home decor. They look just as good on walls as they do in textiles, and they go with almost everything.

Subway Tile Twist
Subway tile is both timeless and trendy for the kitchen, but think beyond white to give it a fresh, unexpected look. Here, the green subway tile backsplash was inspired by the beautiful view of lush trees, provided by a large window.
Cozy Shower
In the bathroom, deep, woodsy green is a surprising alternative to the typical neutral tile. In this space, it surrounds the tub to create a tranquil spot for soaking away the stress of the day.
Art Deco Glam
Evergreen can look less earthy and more glamorous when paired with black, white and gold. A lush, green chaise longue enhances the luxurious look of this bathroom. The color palette is a nod to the art deco era.

Fresh Front Door
A coat of green paint looks great on just about any front door, complementing a wide range of exterior home colors. Here, a green door makes a statement against a gray brick facade, but green also works well with red brick, yellow, white or brown exteriors.
