The concept of interior residential painting has been around for centuries. According to This Old House, there’s evidence people have been painting their homes for 32,000 years to create beautiful looks. Many of these colors were blue and green, and since those early days, many shades have been invented.
Blue and green are some of the most diverse and popular color shades today. They’re attractive, neutral, and easy to use in any home. That makes it important for you to check out these trending types. They’re likely to stay popular for years to come.
1. Blue Dragon
This popular shade is a vibrant hue that creates a beautiful array of benefits. It combines light and dark hues well and has a nice water-style tone. Explained quickly, it looks like a medium-depth lake color and fits well into many home styles.
For example, if you live near water, it produces a beautiful style redolent of coastal areas. However, it’s also calming enough to provide a relaxing hue to minimize anxiety. That makes it a great option for use in bedrooms, living rooms, and other spots where comfort is important.
Even more importantly, it works well with multiple other colors to produce a style you won’t forget. For example, you might find it works best with yellow and green, though it also blends well with some beige colors. Try out a few options to see which makes the most sense for your needs.
2. Ultra Blue
Ultra Blue is an increasingly popular shade for interior residential painting. You’ll be impressed by its intensity when you see it, as it’s very dark blue without being too overwhelming. It’s not a shade that will overwhelm your senses, but it does create a huge impression.
For example, it looks a lot like a deep ocean blue, but without the waviness or inkiness you seem in very dark blues. It produces a strong sense of calm in many people but also has a lot of energy. Depending on your needs, you may find it works well in your bedroom or living room.
That said, some children may find it a bit too intense as the main color for their bedroom walls. It might work best as an accent color here, as it has a friendly and open style that works well in these areas. Whatever your design choice, pair it with a good complementary tune.
3. Laguna
Laguna is a blue shade that produces a light tone similar to teal. It has a bit more green than teal without being a true blue-green. It’s an option we think works well in many different homes and rooms.
It can provide a calming bathroom, bedroom, or laundry room. These areas need a nice and relaxing hue that doesn’t overwhelm the senses. Thankfully, it should easily fit into most home designs without taking too much time to balance properly.
As importantly, it has a unique ethereal look that works well for many styles. Try this one out if you want a blue that makes your home cozier and more relaxing. We also suggest it if you prefer a style that hasn’t already been used in thousands of homes in your area already.
4. Chartreuse
Chartreuse is one of those paint colors that interior residential painting professionals always keep in stock. It’s quietly become one of the most popular green shades in recent years and has a dark look similar to peas but without the same level of intensity and depth.
As a result, it’s a diverse and engaging shade that fits in well with many homes. It’s a perfect choice as an accent color because it adds a little drama and excitement without darkening a room. Try it on doors, windows, pillars, and other decorative areas.
As importantly, add it to bedrooms and living rooms for more color and style. Green is a beautiful, natural color and works well just about anywhere. As a result, it’s something to seriously consider if you want a natural style that fits your home’s needs.
5. Muted Mint
More and more people are getting bored of whites and grays as neutral tones in their homes. You might feel a little stuck if you’re one of them but still want a neutral style. Thankfully, Muted Mint is a popular option because it’s pretty neutral without being dull or uninteresting.
If you’re unsure what it looks like, find a mint and check out its green tone. It should be a lighter and less intense version of that tone. It doesn’t saturate the walls with an intense green color but provides a nice contrast that should work well on many different home designs.
We love this color with reds, browns, blues, and pinks, particularly as decorative items. Try pairing it with gorgeous paintings and furniture that don’t overwhelm its style. This step should provide the unique look and feel you want without costing you too much money in the process.
6. Emerald
While many green colors are subtle and relaxing, Emerald has a very sharp and exciting tone. It has a brightness and depth to it that gives it a lot of energy and interest. We find that it brings a lot of excitement and joy into whatever room you use it in, particularly in common living areas.
However, we also like it as a sunroom color because it naturally catches sunlight and reflects it to create a brighter and more enjoyable living space. It’s also a suitable tone for hallways, particularly those that might not get a lot of sun. It just naturally brightens up a home and makes it sparkle.
We like this hue when paired with nice and subtle browns and reds, though it also looks great with whites. It might be a little overwhelming for a sensitive person’s bedroom, but it can be lightened with calming beiges and other shades. Try it out in a game room for a different look and feel.
7. Studio Blue-Green
As a bonus, let’s examine a popular blue-green color that’s gained popularity in recent years. Studio Blue Green is a popular option that creates a darker and more intense hue you may enjoy. It strikes a perfect balance between green and blue to produce a unique variation that will work well in just about any room. It’s a particularly nice bathroom color because it creates a darker hue that doesn’t quite overwhelm your senses or make you uncomfortable in that room.
That said, we think it also works well in living rooms and bedrooms because it produces a naturally calm state that can make your room more cozy. Try it out if you’re interested in a look and feel that makes you feel more at home. It’s beneficial for the bedrooms of young children.
