Light Seafoam Green

Light seafoam green is a peaceful mix of green, white, and blue. This soft, light shade is an ideal way to create a retreat from the busyness of the outside world. In bathrooms, walls in this light shade of green create a quiet, serene space. Towels, candles, and rugs are another way to incorporate this hushed hue. Mix this color in bedrooms with white and cream. In kitchens, introduce this color with dinnerware, towels, and even bar stools, which lend a barely-there warmth to white. This color looks beautiful with soft shades of pink, yellow, and cream. It adds gentle interest to white without spoiling the crisp, clean effect. Blend light seafoam green with various shades of blue or other shades of green for the effect of a hidden lagoon or woodland haven by a smooth, cool lake. It looks lovely with other neutrals as well, including beige, gray, and even chardonnay. For a pop of glamor, add dashes of fuchsia with fresh blooms.
