Hunter Green

Hunter green is a deep, classic hue that evokes lush evergreen forests. This color is strong and elegant, yet its chic qualities are tempered by a gentle casualness born of its close ties with nature. When pairing this bold hue, cream adds gentle warmth, while it also looks stunning combined with light, natural wood tones. Hunter green is a fresh, rich, and versatile hue. For that reason, it is at home in many decorating styles, and it absolutely shines when used for interiors. Hunter green, when combined with sophisticated blues and rich, dark reds creates a timeless look of safety, comfort, and luxury. Think of libraries and drawing rooms in English manors. This hue is also often seen in cabin-themed spaces. However, it works just as nicely in modern settings. Try it as a powerful accent color on one wall to perk up interior spaces and bring a feeling of the great outdoors. When combined with beige and brown, hunter green gives otherwise sober and sedate spaces instant energy and freshness.
