'It's an Easy, Elegant Color Palette!' 5 Rooms that Show How to Pair Green with Gray

Living space with green day bed and view of New York.

Green is often described as nature's neutral — it's neither too warm nor cool, and it never overpowers or recedes into the background. This means it's the ideal color to introduce into an existing grey living room scheme. But what shades should you choose and how do know they will work together?

Because of its roots in nature, there are lots of colors that go with green. It blends effortlessly with all kinds of neutrals, as well as being an incredibly soothing and naturally uplifting color. From olive to sage, lichen to pistachio, green can combine beautifully with various grays, like stone, dove gray and charcoal. The key is, of course, in the undertones, so choose a gray with either a green undertone or a warm undertone such as pink, to stop the room from feeling too cool.
