How to use Green Mist
Green Mist is at home in a rural setting on traditional properties, where its muted tone feels grounded in nature. It brings enough hue to feel crisp and to never feel washed out, even on overcast days, while grey undertones ensure it doesn’t overpower its surroundings.
EXPERT INSIGHTS
Colour Combinations
A green paint colour can be slightly less versatile than other shades due to a number of factors. Firstly, green sits at the centre of the colour wheel, meaning it is inherently sensitive to other shades. When it comes to the outside of your house, many of the colours found have a yellow tone that don’t lend themselves to providing harmony with the similarly warm undertones of a pale green.
For maximum effect a crisp white is a perfect colour to provide visual contrast, while the lightness helps lift the Green Mist and enhance the beautiful organic feel.
