The most important facts about the colour green

We associate the colour green with the awakening of nature in spring. For us humans, green is the colour of life and annual renewal. Green is the colour of hope, balance and joy

Effect of green colour

Due to its proximity to nature, green exudes calm and harmony, in contrast to the stimulating effect of its complementary colour red. Its positive healing effect was already recognised in the Middle Ages. It is well known that spending time in the forest has a relaxing effect and supports all forms of recuperation. Green is also a pleasant contrasting colour, for example on blackboards at school or on billiard table playing fields. Green is pleasant for the eyes and enhances the contrasting effect of other colours. In road traffic, the colour green signals a clear road ahead. Escape routes are also always marked in green colour shades.

The colour symbolism of green also stands for hope, confidence and the strength and freshness of youth. Cultures and religions all over the world attribute a harmonising effect to this colour. In China, green symbolises yin, the female principle of fertility and energy. Green is also the cult colour of Islam. Here in Germany, people bring some green into their homes in winter in the form of the evergreen Christmas tree and on the green island of Ireland, green symbolises Catholicism.

Green room design

Colour psychology shows that green interior design in our homes is not just a question of aesthetics, but also of well-being. Green wall paints have a calming and relaxing effect and create a harmonious atmosphere. Thanks to their naturalness, they provide a balance to our stressful lives outside our own four walls. A green sofa or green armchairs can transform a room into an oasis of well-being. A fresh and healthy environment can also be created in kitchens or dining rooms, especially with light shades of green or green wallpaper.

There are endless shades of green: from very delicate, light colour shades with lots of yellow pigments that look like fresh shoots in spring, to olive green with brown colour components that radiate warmth. But the green palette also includes light aqua tones with a little blue through to almost black, rich dark green. Not forgetting the many colour shades in which the combination of green and grey creates a harmonious combination.

You should avoid green here

There are also shades of green that should be used sparingly. A so-called "poison green" can have an invigorating effect if it is skilfully placed as an accent in the room. However, it should be used carefully and skilfully.

Alternatives to green colour

There are beautiful shades of grey that contain umber. They are a good alternative to real green tones and can be combined well.

Shades of the colour green

Green is the first colour that comes to mind when you hear the word "nature". Accordingly, it comes in a wide range of variations and shades. Starting with a light, slightly greyish and subtle sage green, through the strong and light apple green to the dark, deep forest green. Of course, there are plenty of intermediate shades and combinations such as olive, bottle green, khaki, turquoise and lime. Together with red and earthy tones, they create shades that look almost brown.

Our colour scheme contains a variety of different shades of green. There are aqua tones, where the blue component dominates, and lime tones, where the yellow component predominates. You will find everything from light, restrained green variants such as lime green to deep dark green, reminiscent of the leaves of tropical plants. As you can see, there are no limits to your ideas with green.

The effect of the colour green

Shades of green radiate harmony and serenity, which gives them a calming effect. The colour is also associated with life, nature, contentment and hope. Forest and leaf green colour shades have a balancing effect and create harmony. The aqua tones stand for freshness and relaxation, and the yellowish green tones have an invigorating and stimulating effect.

If you decide to buy green wall paints, don't be afraid to be bold! For example, choose a dark green colour such as Green with Mud from our Just paint Collection, a dark olive green. Or opt for a wall paint in a deep dark green to create a cosy, calming atmosphere with an accent wall. The great Green with Forest, for example, is an excellent wall paint for your living room or bedroom. But sage green wall paints also have a relaxing effect, as you can see with Green with Sage.

Green colour in many rooms

Due to their positive properties, green colours are actually suitable for all rooms in the house. Both cooler and warmer tones have a positive effect on a healthy living environment, depending on the room.

  • A bathroom painted in aqua tones can support a positive start to the day.
  • A bedroom painted in a soft sage green colour calms the senses and promotes restful sleep.
  • But living rooms painted in mint green wall paints also radiate vitality and have both an invigorating and relaxing effect.

If you prefer a dark, deep shade of green such as Mystic Lake Green from our CosyColours Collection, you can paint a single accent wall in the living room or bedroom and then apply a delicate, very light shade of green such as White with Linden Green to the rest of the walls. This is another way to create a relaxing atmosphere and bring calm into your home without having to do without bold colours.

Tips for the trend colour green

There is a suitable green colour for every interior design style. Whether you want to paint your dining room in a matt, green chalk paint, freshen up your bathroom tiles with mint-coloured chalk varnish or give your entrance area a classic look with a timeless, washable, elegant dark green.

Living styles and trends in shades of green

There are blue, brown, red and yellow tones of green. All colour shades - whether yellow, pink or red - actually go well with the bluish green tones. If you want to paint a room that contains many different colours, green with blue undertones is always the best choice. It is best to combine green tones with other undertones with colour shades that pick up on the undertone.

Overall, green conveys freshness and vitality. You can use this wall paint wherever there is a lot going on. Shades of green are ideal for living rooms and kitchens. Green is also very popular in classic English living styles. However, it is also used in the cheerful Bohemian style. In this case, it can be an intense shade of green, which is then used as a powerful energiser.

Green is logically the first choice in the Urban Junge style. Green on the wall, in combination with lots of plants and green accent furniture, creates a natural, fresh living environment in which you will simply feel at home.

Green is also perfect for implementing the popular dopamine decor trend. Combine an intense green with its complementary colour red!

Combinations with the colour green

Shades of green go particularly well with all natural and earthy colours. If you have used Green with Olive as a wall paint, for example, you can create an atmosphere that conveys calm and relaxation by combining it with the warm Beige with Cashmere. You can either use it to paint the other walls in the room or freshen up your furniture.

If you have used Green with Sage as your wall paints, combine it with reddish elements. Add cherry wood furniture or decorate the floor with a reddish-brown rug. The bright, clear Green with Apple can be combined with a strong pink to create a lively effect, perfect for the Boho style. Turquoise also complements an apple green perfectly.

Alternatively, you can paint your walls in a restrained pink like Rose with Almond Blossom and place a dark green painted chest of drawers in front of it - with a few golden accents, you can easily achieve a very sophisticated look with green varnish. This goes particularly well with a romantic, French interior design style.

Aquatones have a great effect alongside pastel shades such as a soft pink or a light sand tone. The delicate Fairy Green always combines well with light, warm cream tones. But blue and petrol tones can also look great with woody green tones such as Green with Forest. Combine Green with Moss and Blue with Cloud to create a vitalising yet relaxing effect. Green with Lagoon and Green with Aqua are ideal green tile paints if you want to create a refreshing yet calming wellness area.

You can achieve an exciting contrast by combining green with a signal colour such as orange or yellow. MissPompadour's colour scheme includes the fantastic Orange with Goldfish or Yellow with Saffron. A yellow wall with a green-painted chest of drawers adds freshness and vibrancy to your home. The signal colours can serve as accents alongside the green tone.

Honey-coloured wooden furniture goes well with any shade of green. Combine with a few decorative items in a peach-coloured rosé. Paired with gold or brass-coloured elements such as candlesticks or table legs, you can achieve a lively, harmonious effect. Rose gold, copper or silver can also be combined with all different shades of green. For an elegant style, you can use a deep wine red such as Red with Merlot instead of rosé, preferably in combination with an olive tone such as the soft Weekend Green from the CosyColours Collection.

If you like to decorate your living spaces with plants, a light, fresh, slightly bluish green is recommended, as this goes well with various plants. Take a look at the great Sunday Stroll Green. This is exactly how green tones can be combined with rustic wood - it looks particularly natural and lively. Green with blue tones also goes perfectly with oak, whether as parquet flooring or furniture.

Which colours can I order from MissPompadour Paint?

You can order all shades of green from us as wall paints and also as furniture colours. If you paint the wall and the piece of furniture in front of it in the same colour shade, you have the option of making your piece of furniture disappear in front of the wall. This also brings more calm into the room.

Or - the other way round - accentuate your piece of furniture perfectly by painting it with a different coloured varnish of your choice. This creates an eye-catching feature and adds excitement to the room.

Wall paints in green

MissPompadour offers green wall paints in various qualities:

The Just paint Collection features a wide variety of interesting shades of green in 2 different finishes: One is The Valuable Wall Paint, a completely matt, classy wall paint that leaves nothing to be desired in terms of colour depth, opacity, sustainability and a classy finish.

MissPompadour offers you The Functional Wall Paint in the same colour shades. This wall paint is extremely hard-wearing, impact-resistant and wet-washable. It is suitable for high-traffic rooms and in the contract sector.

MissPompadour also offers 2 chalk-based collections: the beautiful, soft colours of the CosyColours and the LittlePomp chalk paints specially developed for children.

Varnishes in green

MissPompadour also offers all green colour shades as varnishes. You can find the colour green as a varnish in the Just paint Collection in 2 varnish qualities: one in the hard-wearing Eggshell Varnish version, which is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It impresses with its smooth, easy-care surface, unbeatable coverage and versatility. You can use Eggshell Varnish to paint your kitchen furniture green, regardless of whether it has a plastic veneer or wooden surface. You can use this paint quality on tiles in the bathroom as a wall design or on the floor, and metal furniture can also be embellished with a great green colour. Eggshell Varnish is also suitable for outdoor use.

You will also find another varnish quality for indoor use in the Just paint Collection. It is called Matt Varnish. As the name suggests, you can use it to create completely matt, elegant surfaces just like in the old days. Matt Varnish is particularly suitable for wooden furniture, but you can also finish metal and plastic with this paint variant.

We also offer the chalk collections from CosyColours and LittlePomp as chalk varnishes. They give you a slightly rustic, matt surface that impresses with its typical velvety chalk look. Both qualities are for indoor use.
