Green Tea

Green tea is a soft, soothing, and sophisticated green with delicate gray undertones. It is an excellent choice for creating interiors that feel like gentle sanctuaries away from the hustle of everyday life. This hue speaks of cozy, moss-covered beds in beautiful woodland forests. It evokes images of dreaming beside quiet streams. But don’t be fooled. This shade is anything but boring. In fact, it is quite the opposite. Green tea instantly dials down the energy levels in rooms, creating an atmosphere of elegance and refinement. It looks beautiful as an all-around color on walls and is ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms. For stylish living areas, blend this color with other soft neutrals such as beige, cream, soft golden brown, and subtle yellows. Add plants, where their fresh, lush greenery contributes further to the feeling of escape. Blend this color with other warm tones, including cream, soft gray blues, and easy yellows for peaceful, restful bedrooms. Use this hue in bathrooms and powder rooms for tasteful and soothing retreats.
