There’s no denying a fresh coat of paint is an easy way to transform a space. Picking what particular shade of paint you’re going to use, however? Well, that’s another story. With hundreds of thousands of hues to choose from, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Even narrowing it down to 'olive green' isn't quite enough — but the good news is the shade is on high-rotation with a lot of designers.
'Olive green has hints of yellow and brown to make it just off, in the right way, from a true green paint,' explains Liz Goldberg, founder and creative director of CAROLYNLEONA. 'It has a dusty undertone which is our favorite way to add a color with sophistication. An olive green shade like Sherwin Williams' 'Pewter Green' also changes from day to night, adding just the right amount of drama.'
