Due to its natural radiance, green wall paint is suitable for promoting calm, contemplation or creativity in certain rooms. It is therefore often painted in a wide variety of nuances to envelop the room or as an accent wall in bedrooms, guest rooms and studies. In windowless corridors, shades of green can evoke a glimpse of greenery and create a relaxed atmosphere.

Wall paint in green includes a wide range of different colour nuances that differ in brightness and luminosity. Let us take you on a journey of discovery through the colours of green nature. Many green names are self-explanatory because they are derived from plants or fruits, such as grass green, olive green, sage green, pistachio green, lime green, etc.

• Apple Green: a hue like a fresh green apple - eg a Granny Smith.
• Lime green: a light, soft, yellowish shade of green that gives rooms a cheerful appearance.
• Mint green: describes a bluish shade of green that is delicately pastel and bright for large wall areas and creates a fresh room atmosphere. Especially nice with reddish wooden furniture. Strongly saturated, he can set cheeky accents.
• Neon green: ideal for a small accent wall in the room: bright, eye-catching and bold - a retina scare.
• Olive green: earthy, achromatic and darker shade of green that gives walls visual stability and exoticism. Attractive in combination with soft pastel tones such as rose, light turquoise or lavender blue.
• Pastel Green: Delicate and bright, clearly luminous or slightly veiled - if just a hint of colour is desired - yellowish or bluish possible.
• English Green - or British Racing Green - has its origins in England, where sports cars are often painted in dark shades of green. 
• Hunter Green: Hunters wear green clothing as a camouflage colour to make them less visible to animals in the natural forest environment.
• Moss green: is a classic of rich, calm green tones for rooms with a natural look.
• Emerald green: Inspired by the gemstone emerald and therefore deeply saturated, dark colour - for a noble look.
• Fir green: refers to a wall colour that impresses with a dark, slightly bluish green and, like the fir trees in the forest, appears calm and static.
• Grass green: a rich, bright shade of green like a freshly mown lawn – recommended indoors as an accent wall for maximum refreshment.

The colour experts from Caparol created colour worlds around the trend colour 3D Patina 40 - a rich forest green, which was combined with related green nuances and other contrasting colour tones. Combinations with delicate rosé nuances from the complementary colour families grenadin, cameo and papaya are particularly exciting. Very calm room moods are created with luminous blue and cool grey blue.
