Choosing Grey Green Paint Colors

Grey green paint colors are calming and effortlessly blend with any decor because acts as a neutral if you select the right shade of the color.

When choosing the right green paint color, you want to consider the rest of your home.

Do you find yourself leaning more toward cool colors? Then you will want to go with a gray undertone to go with the flow of your home and match existing decor.

Undertones in Grey Green Paint

If you are more into warm tones, then you should consider a green with a yellow under tone.

I love the cool tones of gray, but gray by itself is a bit boring in my opinion.

Okay, don’t get annoyed at me for saying that because most of my house is gray.

I do like the color gray, but I am just tired of it and it feels stark.

When I purchased my first home, I jumped on the gray bandwagon and painted everything gray or white.

Grey Green Paint That Matches Any Style

I had no idea what my style was at the time, and I was always decorating for someone else instead of myself.

When I was decorating and painting my home, I always thought what would other people like.

I was worried about picking something that would deter people from buying my home that I just bought.

Finally, I realized I wasn’t living in my own home instead a version of what I thought others would want to call home.

I ended up repainting some rooms, moving decor around, or repurposing some items to save some money.
