  Thank you very much for such work! I looked through all the color charts. Thank you for providing not only the numerical data from the table, but also the names. In other countries, color names are many and varied. Ours was green. light green and light and dark. I heard some colors for the first time at Fashion Verdict. A long time ago I bought tables for industrial use. The color could even be named using numbers. When catalogs began to arrive to us, I translated the names of flowers from the German. But the choice there is also a little limited. And in your tables there are so many names and all are clear (except for single names)! Thank you!!!

pure green

It is a calm, homey color that makes any room happy and cheerful. In combination with blue, white, red or purple, it is perfect for creating sophisticated interiors.

Dishes and decorative elements of plant colors inside any room become the center of attention. A room with one or two walls painted green looks stylish. Doing more is not recommended, as it creates tension and fatigue.

The best option would be a combination of different shades of green in the interior, preferably contrasting ones. This design is diluted with several bright accessories.

Transformation of color and furniture in the nursery

It is known: the furniture and color of the nursery grow and change with the age of the child. For the baby's room, choose soft, unsaturated colors: pink and light blue or light green in a delicate shade. They have a soothing effect and help reduce agitation. The walls of a baby's room are usually decorated with bright elements that attract their attention and develop curiosity.

By the age of 4, the children's room with the basic needs of the bedroom acquires new functionality - a place for active outdoor games, development and, accordingly, turns into an interior that combines bright, joyful color contrasts. That is why, starting from the age of 4, yellow, blue, orange, red, and hot pink colors are preferred for children. For children, the simultaneous use of a combination of bright, irritating signal colors is not recommended; orange and red colors are especially dangerous for fidgets.

Blue-green children's furniture with green shades

In the nursery (as well as in the kitchen), dark blue and other rich dark shades are extremely undesirable, as when approaching black, they begin to have a depressing effect on the psycho-emotional state.

There are recommendations to decorate the children's interior in pink, greenish-yellow, delicate light shades of blue, green, lilac, using these colors in combination with beige and small splashes of brown. This applies equally to furniture and decorative elements (wallpaper, curtains).

Green with black and gray

It is not recommended to combine greenery with a mournful black shade; it is believed that such a combination is inappropriate, because light green tones give the room light and comfort. Although, in practice, there are quite beautiful and elegant interiors using black and green, and this can be seen in the photo below.

Gray with light green is suitable for an office space; most designers do not even try to combine them in living rooms. And in vain, because gray-green interiors look elegant and stylish. To prevent the room from seeming too simple, you need to use complex techniques: embossing on the walls, embossed patterns on textiles, etc.

Green color in the bathroom interior

A bathroom is rarely spacious and bright, so to decorate it you will need to use all light, cool shades. This visually pushes the walls apart. You shouldn’t do all the finishing in one color scheme: monochrome creates discomfort and even a feeling of pressure.

A classic that gives the room the charm of spring freshness is the combination of white and green. It is advisable to add several elements of rich colors here.

If you paint the walls light green, it is recommended to install white upholstered furniture and paint the floor with sand paint. Add a few wicker armchairs and chairs - and you’ll get a living room in a fashionable eco-style, especially if you choose the appropriate textiles.

For those who like a more austere interior, it is recommended to add various shades of gray to the green and white palette. For example, the floor can be finished in gray. A gray-green interior without white looks very beautiful, but a little monotonous. Therefore, you can choose several bright (orange or yellow) accessories to go with it.

Emerald and blue will look organic in the living room interior, but to create a complete design you will need to add natural wood. This could be wooden floors or furniture or other accessories. You can add a little beige, gray, white colors.

Creating a beautiful interior requires certain knowledge, even skill, especially when working with such a complex color as green. Incorrectly selected shades and combinations can negate even the best design ideas, and instead of a comfortable, beautiful room, you will end up with a room in which the residents of the house will feel uncomfortable and awkward.

In what styles are green shades appropriate?

Rich, optimistic shades of fresh greenery can ennoble and enliven any urban space. Even if high-tech or loft is chosen, several large plants or a large aquarium with green aquafits will transform them beyond recognition, providing them with “living” force. But each style dictates its own rules. Natural shades of green are most appropriate in minimalism, country and ethno; new combinations are offered by avant-garde and futurism, kitsch and eclecticism.

1. In an urban environment today it is very fashionable to decorate apartments in eco-style, where a natural palette and natural materials are used. These are wood, bamboo and cork, natural and “wild” stone, floors with laminate in the color of wenge wood (chocolate tones). In the bathroom and hallway there are marble or porcelain tiles with imitation of natural textures. All plant shades are used.
2. Japanese minimalism is the simplest and most organic style with emphasized asceticism and a preference for natural textures. Green bamboo and cherry blossom branches are decor favorites. Bonsai and paintings of Japanese nature are widely used, but there is only one in each room. A style with a minimal color load, where instead of bright color accents there are images of hieroglyphs, a collection of dishes or bladed weapons. Simple geometric shapes, simple color combinations, against a white background, using wood and green shades.
3. Romanticism, retro style and country style, where they are presented in the form of floral patterns, are also unthinkable without natural shades of greenery. Textiles with small flowers, satin stitch and cross stitch, homespun textiles and handmade tablecloths - greenery is used everywhere. The ornament on rugs and bedspreads, curtains and removable covers on furniture is also not complete without natural colors. The most luxurious shades of greenery are presented with yellow and pink, red and blue.
4. An exciting combination of green with other shades is acceptable in an eclectic style, avant-garde and futuristic interior. Acid, rich and provocative shades should still be used in doses, in the form of accents or extravagant decor. In the bedroom, you can focus on spectacular lighting and original shaped objects. Favorites include neon green, which harmonizes with white and lemon, especially if it is textiles.
5. In modern style, generated by the technogenic era, which suppresses the environment, natural greenery is used in the form of small “oases” on a gray background. They enliven chrome and plastic surfaces, white walls and upholstered furniture made of eco-leather. Lighting design is a popular technique, but remember that LED lighting distorts the natural shades of light green walls. They will be perceived differently during the day and in the evening. It is important to choose the right decor and color accents, showing taste and a sense of proportion.

Green goes well with pink

Green goes very well with many styles

Bright shades are inappropriate in historical style and in a classic interior. By showing the whim of “I like it”, you can spoil the impression of the most sophisticated interior in the Baroque, Renaissance or Empire style, where “anti-stress color” is used in doses. Most often it is present in the form of a pattern on a tapestry or other textile.

When decorating a designer interior, it is better to be careful in combination with black and purple colors, as well as with bright shades - fuchsia, orange, red and crimson. When decorating common rooms, it is important to consult with other family members so that the chosen combination of green with other colors does not irritate anyone.

• with brown and beige;

Green furniture in the living room and kitchen: harmless combinations

Green upholstered furniture in the living room and kitchen is delicately combined with furniture containing glass elements (shelves, cabinet doors, coffee tables).

Green accents in the interior Mint-colored furniture Green furniture in a modern interior

The combination of green furniture and white in the interior gives a touching feeling of renewal inherent in spring, or joyful delight born in summer. Gray color, part of the trio “green - white - gray”, makes the design of the room more restrained. However, a complete rejection of white can deplete the interior and make it boring. Additional single strokes of a warm shade - a yellow, yellow-golden or orange palette is very good here - enliven the rooms and create the effect of sun rays.

Green furniture with elements or accessories in a chocolate or pearl shade is also a winning solution for the living room. Muted green colors of furniture will take root in the interior composition of the minimalist style. Emerald and malachite colors add luxury to the living room, but dark green should be avoided. The use of warm colors in the interior (accessories, wallpaper and curtain design, flooring) will enhance this feeling.

For a small room, modular green furniture in light colors is optimal, easily moving around the area of ​​the room.

Airy novelty for living space

Green color is rarely used in living room design. Try to move away from the usual motifs and diversify the interior with bright pillows, a set of vases, a bowl of apples, or at least a flower in the corner.

Rest assured, you will immediately notice how the room will be filled with cleanliness and freshness. You can also go further and get curtains, a plush sofa or carpet in lush natural shades.

When it comes to design and color, it's best to borrow ideas from nature itself. This trend is quite fashionable now.

What is known about the color green?

Along with brown, gray and white, green is one of the natural shades. It is believed to have a good effect on vision, helping the eyes relax; It’s not for nothing that since the beginning of the last century, the lampshades of office table lamps have been made predominantly green, and the same cloth is placed on the table.

On a subconscious level, the shade is perceived as a symbol of freshness and constant renewal; it is also often (especially in Eastern culture) used as a symbol of wealth, success and prosperity. And with such an impeccable reputation for calm and well-being, green tones are calming to some people, while irritating to others.

Light green in decoration, decor and textiles Source thespruce.com

In fact, whether the effect is irritating or calming depends on the shade of green and the surrounding color palette. Anyone who has painted with paints at least once in their life knows that you can get green paint by mixing yellow and blue. In this case, the resulting color will depend on the proportion of the original tones.

Thus, shades of light green are obtained by mixing bright yellow and blue paint in equal proportions. To get a light green tint, add white paint to blue and yellow paint; if a dark green tone is needed, white paint is replaced with black. A more complex color (for example, olive) can be achieved by changing the proportions of the mixture and adding red paint.

The result can be either a relaxing or an invigorating shade. In the interior, any of them, in the right combination, will become part of a harmonious space, or, conversely, will be inappropriate due to the inappropriate tone or volume of use.

Briefly about the main thing

The variety of shades of green simplifies and at the same time complicates the task of decor. All tones are obtained from a combination of yellow and green in different proportions, with the addition of other colors. In order to make the green palette convenient to use, the colors were combined into several groups, each with its own application features.

All of them combine quite well with natural colors, from white and beige to brown and black. In most cases, combinations with bright and rich shades will be successful. Olive color is considered universal, which can be safely included in the design of any room, regardless of style.
