Tips for Using Green

The 60-30-10 Rule

When using green in your space, follow the 60-30-10 rule: 60% of your room should be a dominant color (often neutral), 30% a secondary color (your green or its pairing), and 10% an accent color for pops of interest.

Consider Your Lighting

Colors look different in various lighting conditions. Green will appear different in north-facing rooms (cooler light) versus south-facing rooms (warmer light). Always test paint samples in your actual space at different times of day.

Layer Textures

When using a limited color palette, texture becomes essential. Mix materials like velvet, linen, wood, and metal to add depth and interest to your green color scheme.
