Is Green the New Neutral? Interior Designers Argue We Should All Be Using This Soothing Shade as Our Base Color

Dining room with green grasscloth wallpaper, console table with art, patterned curtains, black marble dining table and boucle chairs.

Neutral color schemes have so much going for them — they're subtle and suitable for all kinds of interior schemes, as well as incredibly easy to pair with other colors. That said, many homeowners are ready for a change from the tried-and-tested neutrals, and are looking for something a little different.
