Undertone & Lighting

Greens span from yellow-based (sage, olive) to blue-based (emerald, teal). Sage greens are the most popular for their neutrality.

Green works in most lighting conditions. It's the most natural color to the human eye and the easiest to live with long-term.

Sherwood Green in a Dining Room: What to Know

Which Walls to Paint

The dining room is one of the few rooms where dark, bold wall colors consistently work. Navy, deep green, or rich plum creates a dramatic setting for meals.
