46 Colors That Go With Green

(Color Palettes)

Most of us associate green with the coming of

spring. But when it comes to interior design,
green is really a color for all seasons. Whether
you opt to use a pale sage as an almost-
neutral or choose a bold spring green, this is a
color you can have a lot of fun with!

What Colors Go With Green?

Here’s a list of colors that go with green,
including color palette examples.

1. Mustard Yellow and Green

Hex Codes: #e1ad01, #73a580, #3e363f

If you’re after a vintage-styled aesthetic,

pairing soft mustard yellow with various green
shades can work. One option is to use sage
green walls as a backdrop for a mustard
yellow couch or other furniture.

That look has a good bit of contrast. If you

want a room to have the look of a harmonious
color gradient, try pairing mustard yellow with
yellow-hued greens like chartreuse or pea.
Depending on the exact shades you use, this
look can become a little heavy, so do your best
to break it up with white or pale neutrals.

2. Wood Tones and Green

Hex Codes: #3f301d, #a8ba9a, #996888

Home decor expert Ashley Knierim notes that

the right pairing of green and natural wood can
give any room an earthy, woodsy feel. For a
subtle take on this look, try pairing neutral
greens with light to medium wood floors or
trim.

For a darker and more dramatic look, you can

also pair darker greens with darker woods.
This palette can become too heavy, so you
may want to start with an accent piece. An
example would be a chair with a dark wooden
frame and dark green upholstery.

3. Terra Cotta and Green

Hex Codes: #e2725b, #3f826d, #e1e6e1

If you’re a fan of earth tones, this particular

palette might be just what you need. Terra
cotta pairs beautifully with various shades of
olive green and similar colors. As you can see
in this living room, the terra cotta tiles and the
pea-green walls create a sense of warmth.

Of course, if you want to use this palette in a

subtler way, you can incorporate terra cotta
pottery into a room with green walls or
furniture. If you use darker shades of either, it’s
a good idea to include white or other lighter
colors in the color scheme to avoid the room
feeling too closed in.

4. Turquoise and Green

Hex Codes: #30d5c8, #507255, #49393b

Turquoise is a shade of blue with a lot of

greenish underneath, so it’s only natural that it
would pair nicely with green. And depending
on the mood you want to create, you can use
a range of different shades of green.

Pea green creates a bold, colorful palette that

draws the eye. But if you want something
softer, pale turquoise looks nice with light mint
and other types of pastel green.

5. Gold and Green

Hex Codes: #ffd700, #7eb09b, #475b5a

If you have a flair for the dramatic and want to

create a regal color scheme, pair green with
gold. A medium kelly green forms a striking
contrast and makes a memorable statement.
It’s a great look for a front door and can add a
splash of color to a neutral-colored home. For
a more muted look, softer mint or sage also
looks nice with gold hardware.

If you wish, you can also play this look up with

additional gold. Retro gold lamps, bowls, etc.
will give any green room a facelift. Green and
gold has become a trend in the design world,
but the looks you create can be vintage or
modern

6. Very Pale Yellow and Green

Hex Codes: #fffaca, #679289, #003554

A pastel palette can add an open, airy feel to

any room. And since yellow and green are
closely related shades, they work well with
each other in most contexts. You might try a
pastel yellow wall with pastel green furniture
(or vice versa).

In some cases, you may find that you want to

make one color stand out more. Dark mint
accents in a pastel yellow room can create
quite a statement. But since these colors are
both light, you may want to ground them with a
few darker accents.

7. Cool White and Green

Hex Codes: #f4fdff, #214e34, #857e7b

This classic duo offers you endless opportunity

when it comes to design. Combine cool white
and hunter green and you get a classic look.
Pair shades of lime with white for a fresh take
on a vintage aesthetic. Or for ultra-modern
appeal, add several green plants to an all-
white room.

Don’t be afraid of darker forest greens when

working with this combination. A forest green
couch against a white wall can really bring a
room together. And even dark green kitchen
cabinets can be a fun way to join in the dark
green trend. For something a little more
offbeat, go for green and white patterned
wallpaper!

8. Soft Blue-Gray and Green

Hex Codes: #b7c9e2, #57886c, #1f271b

Just like white and green, soft blue-gray and

green is a combination that gives you plenty of
options depending on the shade of each that
you use. Try a calming blue-green wall color
as a backdrop for darker green furniture.

This combination also works well with slate

green, an interesting shade that’s like slate
blue with a green tinge. Or if you want a lighter
palette, very pale blue-gray against a very pale
cool green creates a calming yet welcoming
space. Blue-gray doesn’t only look nice with
cool green, though; it’s a great backdrop
for lime green accents!

9. Coffee Brown and Green

Hex Codes: #6f4e37, #c5e384, #386150

Brown and green are must-have colors if you

want an earthy palette. One way to do this is
to add throw pillows in various shades of
green to coffee brown living room furniture. If
you want a lighter palette, coffee brown and
green accents can liven up a mostly-beige
room.

If you enjoy patterns, coffee brown and green

are great color choices. Even a patterned
throw or vase can add visual interest to a
room. Coffee brown looks great with many
shades of green, but it goes especially well
with shades of lime or soft mint.

10. Muted Orange and Green

Hex Codes: #eb9c5c, #53917e, #3b3c36

The combination of green and orange may

sound garish. And it can be if it isn’t carefully
designed. An orange accent (like a mostly-
orange painting) can draw the eye and add a
little bit of light to a room that’s mostly dark
green. Alternatively, if you want to impart some
real energy to a room, paint the walls muted
orange and sprinkle in several green accents.

If you want a cool/warm counterbalance, try

separating green and orange in your color
scheme. For example, you might
incorporate muted orange pillows on a white
couch and then add a green accent wall
across the room.

11. Maroon and Green

Hex Codes: #800000, #73937e, #e3dbdb

If you shy away from combining any shade of

red with green, you aren’t alone. After all, the
combination of red and green has the potential
to make any room look like a giant Christmas
decoration. But judicious use of this
combination can result in truly striking color
schemes! Since maroon is a purplish red, it
will help keep your room from looking like
Christmas.

One way to use this palette is to place a

maroon couch or chair in a light green
(especially sage green) room. Or if you’re
looking for something bold and moody, a
bedroom with dark green walls and a maroon
bedspread makes quite a statement.

12. Raspberry and Green
