Guilford Green is a soft green that has a touch of gray and brown in it, which gives it a soothing neutral quality. According to Ellen O’Neill, creative director at Benjamin Moore, the hue represents “fresh energy and growth” and can serve as either “the hero or the highlight in any room.” Additionally it can work with a wide variety of design styles, from clean and contemporary to richly traditional.

Because it has a slight grayish-brown undertone, Guilford Green plays nicely with a variety of wood tones. It neither fades away nor competes with warm woods, making it an excellent choice if you have wood floors and a roomful of wood furniture and furnishings.

Lemongrass. Lighter tints of yellow green are much more soothing than their deeper, more saturated counterparts. This type of green is a delicate color that is very easy on the eyes.Paint pick: Springtime 6708 by Sherwin-Williams

Mint Green. Cool mint green is very refreshing and it makes a wonderful color for a bathroom or bedroom. This pale, blue green is subtle and soothing, and it's a great choice for spaces where you want to relax.Paint pick: Serene Breeze 449 by Benjamin Moore

Tip: If you’re hiring a paint company, see if it will provide free sample cans of the colors you’re considering. Many companies do. Remember, once you’ve had the paint tinted (mixed), you can’t get your money back. Even if you have to pay for them yourself, sample cans (typically $3 to $8) are well worth the expense.
