Our new favorite addition to the neutral color palette, rich green is all the buzz—for good reason! This chameleon-like hue can completely alter the mood of a room, from dark and moody evergreen to playful and vibrant lime. We caught up with some of our favorite design connoisseurs to get the scoop on the green paints they return to again and again.

Southfield Green by Benjamin Moore
“I’ve long been a fan of Oliver Messsel and his signature green, which he used on trim and shutters throughout his classical projects in Barbados and Mustique. It can best be replicated through Benjamin Moore’s Southfield Green, which is also wonderful on tired wicker furniture—gives everything a refreshing touch!” –Amanda Lindroth

Lawn Party by Backdrop
“I was hunting for the perfect green shade for our kitchen—the moment I swatched Lawn Party, I knew I’d found the right hue that feels perfectly cozy and calming whenever I look at it.” –Courtney Halverson

Vert de Terre no. 234 by Farrow and Ball
“It has enough gray undertones that it makes for a perfect sage green without any pastel feel to it and seems to go with everything. It can be both youthful and sophisticated!” –Chauncey Boothby
