which green colour for kitchen

12 years ago
Hi everyone. I would love some thoughts on which shade is nicer or even suggestions on what green shade could work well in my kitchen. I have painted some samples on wall. The dark one is English mist 3 andthe one above it is pistachio by dulux

    I like the darkest one, but I wonder if a slightly more teal colour might be nicer? Just a bit more verdant.

    Definitely the darkest, the more contrast the better.

    Pistachio! Looks and sounds delicious! With your cabinetry, it will be calming and organic, great for inspiring you cooking mojo!

    I just looked up the pistachio as I too am looking for green. The colour on your wall doesn't look anything like the dulux site sample. Theirs looks more pea green.

    I really like the top (middle?) color. I think it will look really nice with the white without making your kitchen seem too dark.

    I like the top color with your floors.

    I love the darker one. Very rich and saturated color!

    How much wall do you need to paint? If most of the walls are covered by cabinets, doors, windows, etc. I would lean towards the darker. If lots of open wall space go light. Ideally, a shade between the two!!

    I like the one on the far left- the light one....I think the dark one will actually give it a dated 90s look and the lighter one will be more modern.

    Thanks so much everyone. I should have mentioned we have an open plan kitchen dining room so the same colour will be everywhere. Picture attached of the alcoves. Any great ideas for furniture also would be great. Much appreciated

    I like the top color as well, but I think it's really important to look at the other colors in your house before you choose. The paint colors in a house should all work together. Look at the rooms next to the kitchen, not just the eat in alcove but the adjacent rooms and make sure there is a nice flow between your spaces. I also think the colors should be somewhat referential to the style of home you have and the natural light you get. For example, a bungalow might call for natural, earthy tones while a painted lady Victorian might want something more bold. Have fun!

    English mist looks very happy to me. It has an organic appeal plus good energy in a room that gets a lot of action.

    Plus if you have any kids in school, you could get the frames that open easy to display artwork. Great cheap way to decorate an eat in kitchen!

    The top one. Or at least a light victorian green, a bit pale olive-grey-moss-but-fresh. If the pistachio has that, go for it! The darker one will give the whole a too classic look, it's more an accent wall green to me. And the light one is too fresh for the cream colored cabinets (and will probably make the kitchen look too yellow).

    I like the top one, perhaps just a tad stronger?

    I can't see if you have natural light in your Kitchen, so with that in mind and your dark door I would go lighter - with Pistashio. To complement the dark door, accent with that colour picture frame should you hang any tasteful prints.
