Dark green paint ideas needed

18 years ago

I am painting our downstairs "man room". There is a large built in corner cherry entertainment center, leather chairs, oriental rug over a berber rug, lots of artwork and one wall is an entire collection of 50's anodized aluminum in really bright colors. I want a dark gray/green or warm green paint - darker than sage, not forest green. I tried BM Saybrook Sage - too blue. Then SW Svelte Sage - too light. I want something quite dark - am considering BM Passion Vine or Sussex Green. Any ideas or pictures?

We used the Ralph Lauren Marsh Grass Green in our last house with great success. It is a very nice, not garish green with slight grey undertones. It would be really nice for a masculine room.

Just FYI, the paint is available at Home Depot and that is where I bought my 1st gallon of it. However, it wasn't as high of quality as I wanted (took 2+ coats to cover builders-white walls) so I took the swatch to a pro-type paint shop _Columbia Paints) and had them match it. They said that they do it everyday. Much more pleasant painting experience after that. : )

Wish i had pictures of it for you!

Sorry, no photos. Farrow and Ball has a color called Card Room Green. You may want to see if you can find a photo of it.
