Colors that go with forest green are being harnessed by designers to create softly soothing, gently moody schemes, evocative of the outdoors but perfect for inside. It's a shade being seen more and more in recent projects, as an accent for seat pillows, or a large rug, or even as the main color for the walls.
'Being in nature brings such calm and forest green can be a powerful color to bring a space into that feeling,' says Mike Shively, founding partner of Chicago-based studio En Masse Architecture and Design. 'We find forest green to be a go-to for major spaces like kitchens or primary bedrooms. The green brings personality and a sense of calm but pairs well with all manner of styles, colors, and materials,' adds Lucas Golbach, En Masse's partner and design director.
