It's not easy being green - or is it?

Sure it is! But you have to choose the RIGHT green.


So many people love green - myself included. But how do you decide on the perfect green for your home? That gets a little complicated when you have this many to choose from.

Here are some tips to help you choose the right green for your home.


Tip 1
If your room gets a lot of sunlight, you may not want to choose a green that has too much yellow in it. The green will get amplified and look a bit neon or just too bright.

Tip 2
If you choose a green that has a lot of blue in it, your green will look more minty. 




Tip 3
If you keep your greens light and muted, you'll be in that sought after coastal look. This is a great choice for the bedroom or the spa bathroom since it's so relaxing.

  2. What are some good examples of BM paint colors that are similar to the light and muted green of the last bedroom? BTW, can vouch for the neon effect of a real yellowy green in a room that receives lots of sunshine!
