Pale Green Paint Colours

Green tones are an ideal pick if you’re planning on giving your interiors an overhaul. These botanical hues are synonymous with nature, bringing a sense of calm and tranquillity to any space. Many cultures also associate green with good health, luck and prosperity, meaning green paint schemes are a superb choice if you’re looking to base your design on feng shui for a happier home.

What’s more, it’s far easier to find complementary colours for more muted green tones, allowing you to achieve the perfect balance.

Whether you’re looking for an eye-catching alternative to dark green paint or need a lighter hue that will enhance the warm tones of natural wood, you’re bound to find something in Johnstone’s range of pale green paint shades.
