Hi Everyone,<\/p>\n

I realized I haven\u2019t done a paint<\/a> post in a while.<\/p>\n

I was thinking blue, but since there are at least three blue paint<\/a> posts, I thought I would do green.<\/p>\n

Of course, there is already a post about green paint colors<\/a>, and this is the all-new version. And when I say all-new, I\u2019m not kidding. The original post was written in 2015, and so it was in dire need of a gut renovation.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Please enjoy 9 of the Best Benjamin Moore<\/a> Paint Colors<\/a>.<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Never mind that some 700+ of the 3,500 Benjamin Moore<\/a> paint colors are some shade of green.<\/p>\n

Although a lot of the \u201cgreens\u201d say \u201cgray\u201d as part of their name, or some other word that isn\u2019t green.<\/p>\n

It takes nothing for green to pop out of colors that don\u2019t look green UNTIL they go up! In fact, here\u2019s a post with some of my favorite shades of green that don\u2019t say \u201cgreen.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even my beloved Knoxville Gray doesn\u2019t look very green on the chip.<\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"knoxville<\/p>\n

Believe me. It is GREEN in both my lower entry and my upstairs entry door and wainscoting. Yes, it is tempered with plenty of gray, and that\u2019s what makes it feel incredibly livable.<\/p>\n

\"lower
Above is the lower entry door painted Knoxville Gray. This door is steel and was formerly in my bedroom. I had the guys add some moulding. This image was taken the day after it was painted. The blue tape is gone now.<\/p>\n

\"Lower
My warm incandescent lights really bring out the GREEN.\u00a0 Above is the view into the primary bedroom.<\/p>\n

\"Lower<\/p>\n

KNOXVILLE GRAY HC-160<\/strong> was used for the walls and trim, but with different finishes.<\/p>\n

The ceiling is Newt Green.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lighting definitely has an effect on this color.<\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Knoxville<\/p>\n

Above is a shot of the stairwell, from my living room during the day and no lights on. As you can see, the blue is coming out.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Okay, we\u2019ll continue with the rest of the 9 fabulous shades of Benjamin Moore green paint.<\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

But first, do you know what is the common mistake with shades of green wall paint?<\/em> <\/span><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been through this mistake<\/a> before, but if you missed it or this is the first time with us, here it is.<\/p>\n

People sometimes get all nervous that it\u2019s going to be \u201ctoo much,\u201d and then decide to dilute it with white. (mixing it at \u201c50%\u201d or something like that) Or, they wimp out and pick that really sickly, icy tooth-pasty minty-green. AKA: Hospital green. Or Crest Toothpaste<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Please try not to. Do your testing and then be brave. You won\u2019t be sorry.<\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, if you want a light green for the walls, it needs to have a good amount of gray in it. For those who own the Laurel Home Paint and Palette<\/a> Collection, you\u2019ll find numerous shades of pale gray-green colors, as well as medium and dark shades.<\/p>\n

The one exception is if you\u2019re putting the light green on the ceiling. I find if it\u2019s too gray, it could look a bit muddy.<\/p>\n

There are also some wonderful ceiling green-blue colors.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of my favorite ceiling colors is Benjamin Moore Italian Ice Green.<\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Benjamin
Below, you can see this ethereal color on my bedroom ceiling. It\u2019s not one of the nine colors, but rather a bonus color.<\/p>\n

\"Benjamin<\/p>\n

One thing to always keep in mind, and I forget it too, is that unless the room is a basement or something, most rooms have windows, doors, furniture<\/a>, and stuff on the wall. Usually, the paint color is a backdrop, not the main event. (If your room doesn\u2019t have windows, please check out this post)<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Most of these shades of green are in the Laurel Home Paint and Palette Collection.<\/a><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Okay, now it\u2019s time to dive into the rest of the wonderful Benjamin Moore Green Paint Color.s<\/h4>\n

ESSEX GREEN HC-188<\/span><\/h6>\n

\"Benjamin<\/p>\n

This green is almost black, but when the light hits it, you\u2019ll see the green.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, you can get a pillow made out of the wonderful chair fabric above, Dahlia by Clarence House, if you go to the Hot Sales page and scroll to the bottom group of images.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Below, you can see Essex Green in another sunroom.<\/h4>\n

Above and below is the wonderful sunroom of Melissa Tardiff, who used to help me with the Hot Sales and other editing. Melissa, if you\u2019re reading this. I miss you!<\/p>\n

After seeing how wonderfully this room turned out, it made me see deep, rich colors in a whole new light.<\/p>\n

I love this enigmatic painting by Malcolm Rains<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

SAYBROOK SAGE\u00a0 HC-114<\/span><\/h6>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Benjamin<\/p>\n

This is a wonderful sage from the historical collection, and a long-time classic.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Saybrook<\/p>\n

And yes, that\u2019s one of the boards from the Laurel Home Paint and Palette Collection.<\/a><\/p>\n
