Colors which go with green

A retro dark yellow-green combined with a sleek contemporary charcoal grey seems to be the ultimate color palette in which two worlds collide…and form a fascinatingly beautiful setting. Both deep tones, the green and charcoal here create a romantic and cozy space that feels as tolerant as it does intimate. Throw some soft grey into the mix, and you have a refreshing, relaxing, and completely neutral-feeling space.

This is a lovely color combination to keep in mind when designing any space that is meant to serve as a retreat of some sort. In nature these two hues are found together all the time, so it makes sense that their visual balance is satisfying and delightful in interior design as well.

A rule of thumb to follow when working with green is this: colors that go with green are generally found with green in nature already. Drab, retro olive green is a perfect foil against fuchsia, and this Akno live edge counter illustrates this contrast to perfection. With an organic, muddy green hue like olive, we see the yellow undertones and inherently need some sort of balance. This is where the sharp electricity of fuchsia comes into play beautifully, and the best parts of both colors of this pairing are emphasized.

A muted shade of sage green works as a neutral in this country-inspired kitchen. The color on lower cabinets is balanced by simple open shelving and a white-painted floor. Tall ceilings are accented with exposed wood beams , and that natural texture is repeated on butcher-block countertops.

Vintage copper pots hang from a rack above a set of windows to lift the color palette with a shiny accent. Analogous colors, which are hues next to each other on the color wheel , are always a good choice when choosing a scheme. Here, jewel green is mixed with paler greens and combined with blues such as sky, cerulean, and sapphire. Graphic patterns are used in restraint to maintain the restful atmosphere.

Working as a neutral, mint green walls and a pair of blue-green side chairs put the focus on the bright accent colors used throughout this living room. Shades of pink, yellow, orange, and blue create a lively look. Slight variations and tonal differences of the blue-green color are evident in the rug and variety of fabrics, ensuring that they all work in harmony.

Taking cues from cottage style, this charming kitchen features simple Shaker-style cabinetry and open shelving. The palette includes red, olive, and stained wood, but this kitchen exhibits a fresh take on the deeper colors replacing darker green with light celery on the walls. The darker shade of olive is limited to the kitchen island, and white paint brightens up the cabinetry.

The palest colors in the seascape artwork set the tone for this room's soothing look. Grayish cloud-blue covers a Chesterfield sofa, and a blue-striped rug underfoot makes a quiet statement. Other pieces are mostly white save accent pillows in patterns of blue and green. For a complete turn of the tides, an animal print ottoman dominates the center of the room.

Because the juxtaposition is a singular piece, it makes a big statement and adds a jolt of energy. Channeling Palm Beach, this sophisticated dining nook takes on the preppy style of polished beach-goers. Like a summer shift dress, the furnishings are streamlined and simple. Hot pink pillows one printed with koi fish and a painted impression of tropical flowers are standouts against the all-white furnishings. Wallpaper in a woven motif adds to the vacation-like flavor and offers an intermediate scale to soften the room's bold attributes.

Cool undertones in these pale green walls pick up on the wintry hues in the shiny metal bed and indigo floral coverlet. A knit throw and plaid rug introduce slightly warmer shades of green to the mix. Cozy casual furnishings and romantic details, including the scalloped-edge coverlet, warm up the chilly undertones with familial comforts.

A fresh shade reminiscent of rtichokes offers the perfect green to complement the rustic wood ceiling and kitchen island in this country house. Playing off the vegetable's colors and fibrous texture, this kitchen celebrates the more weathered side of Mother Nature in this barnlike atmosphere.
