Neutral Green Paint Colors
Not convinced you’re bold enough to pull off a deep green paint? “Green is nature’s neutral and works in every room,” says Benjamin Moore color marketing and development manager, Hannah Yeo. When done right, she says, “Green can surprisingly make the room feel intimate and cozy.” In this small kitchen, green cabinets do just that—against an unpainted beadboard wall, the “neutral” shade looks right at home.
