Areas of application for green varnish
Apart from walls, where green wall paint is used, there is almost no object in the home or outdoors that cannot be treated with green paint. Whether the object is made of wood, such as furniture or stairs, or metal , such as garden furniture or fridges and radiators, it is always possible to give surfaces a new colour with paint, making them more durable and hard-wearing.
But you can also paint other materials such as wall and floor tiles with green tile paint. Tiled stoves, stone and concrete surfaces benefit from a new coat of paint. Last but not least, you can also change objects made of plastic or plastic veneer or textiles and leather on upholstered furniture and lampshades with varnish. There are no limits to your creativity if you want to beautify your home with varnishes.
Green wood varnish as a furniture colour
Greenwood paint is a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor furniture. The variety of green colours at MissPompadour Paint allows for creative design. From the rich dark green of Green with Forest to the light grey moss green of Green with Moss to the light sage green of Green with Sage - MissPompadour offers a large selection of green wood paint. Use it to paint small items such as a side table - or start a big project like repainting your kitchen or a built-in cupboard. If you are painting unpainted wood, you should prime with To Bond & Block to prevent the wood's tannins from bleeding into your new coat.
Green varnish for painting metal
Green coloured paint can be used not only on wood, but also on many other surfaces. Metal doors or radiators can also be embellished with green colours such as moss green or dark green. Light, fresh shades of green such as Green with Apple or Green with Glass can also be used to embellish metal objects.
For metal surfaces, it is advisable to work with a primer such as MissPompadour To Bond & Block. This helps the colour to adhere well. If you are painting metal that is already rusty, the rust must be sanded off well and the surface then pre-treated with a rust protection primer.
Green varnishes on plastics
It's not just wooden furniture or metal surfaces that can be transformed with green paint using MissPompadour Paints. Plastic surfaces on window frames, doors, plastic-veneered furniture and all surfaces made of rigid PVC can also be embellished with the green coloured paint. Are you tired of the high-gloss look of your kitchen units? No problem - simply repaint it in your favourite colour! As plastic surfaces are often very smooth, you should prime them with To Bond & Block primer. This allows the coloured paint to adhere well.
Paint tiles, stone and concrete with coloured paint in green
A coat of dark green, moss green or sage green can also give your wall and floor tiles a completely new look. Exposed stonework or stone staircases also benefit from a new coat of green paint. If you are painting large areas, it may also be worth spraying the primer and then the paint with a paint sprayer.
Green coloured paint for indoors and outdoors
The Eggshell Varnish paint quality from MissPompadour is suitable for indoors and outdoors. Just note that the varnish does not tolerate standing water. However, it is perfect for finishing a garden shed, fence or garage door with green coloured varnish. Exterior doors such as front doors or the outer frames of windows also look particularly elegant with this outdoor varnish in dark green, such as Green with Black.

Order matt and semi-matt varnishes from MissPompadour
MissPompadour offers different varnishes. All varnishes in the MissPompadour collection are available in two qualities: Eggshell Varnish is a slightly shimmering varnish that is very easy to care for and is equally suitable for exterior and interior painting. It is also the right choice if tiles are to be painted on the wall or floor. The surface has a satin matt finish.
The Matt Varnish variant creates a matt look for your vintage furniture. It gives you completely matt, velvety-looking surfaces. This lacquer quality is suitable for indoor use.
In the LittlePomp children's collection, MissPompadour offers two shades of green in chalk varnish quality: Green & Magical and Green & Gentle, two enchanting shades of green that have been specially developed for children.
In the CosyColours chalk varnish collection you will also find various soft shades of green - from the light aqua shade Fairy Green to the dark Mystic Lake Green.
What effect does green varnish have?
The effect of green varnish in a room depends on the shade of green. While a yellowish, fresh, light green such as MissPompadour Green with Birch looks spring-like and cheerful, a dark, mysterious green such as MissPompadour Green with Black or Mystic Lake Green from the CosyColours Collection can look serious and solemn. There are many other shades of green to choose from between these two extremes.
Which green varnish to use outdoors?
The MissPompadour varnish quality Eggshell Varnish is suitable for outdoor use.
Is coloured lacquer waterproof?
Varnish by MissPompadour is water-soluble as long as it is wet. Once the varnish has dried, it can withstand water and can also be wiped off. However, it cannot withstand standing water. You should therefore always make sure that the water can run off painted surfaces easily.
Which colours go well with green furniture?
Many natural colours go well with green, but also red, from pink to orange. This is because red is the complementary colour to green.
How long does it take for the coat of green varnish to dry through?
The drying time of different varnishes can vary, so follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. In general, varnished objects can be carefully touched again after approx. 3-5 hours; the varnish is completely dry and resilient after approx. 14 days.
Can varnish surfaces be painted over or does the old varnish have to be sanded or stripped?
If an old varnish is completely undamaged, it can be painted over without any problems. If the surface is damaged or the old varnish is peeling off, it must be sanded down.
Do I always have to prime when painting with coloured paint?
Metal, stained or bleeding wood with noticeable knotholes and very smooth plastic or glass surfaces should be pre-coated with MissPompadour To Bond & Block.
Is green a warm or cold varnish colour?
There are very warm shades of green such as MissPompadour Green with Mud or Green with Olive. But the intense Green with Pistachio is also a warm green. Weekend Green from the CosyColours Collection also has a warm effect. The fresh Green with Mint or the light Green with Glacier are cooler shades of green. The intense Green with Emerald is also a cool, radiant shade of green.
