Pretty Spring green? (Ben Moore)

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

I'm painting this bedroom some time in the next two months. But first I need to do the traditional "spend $150 painting 20 swatches on the wall" dance. Everything in the room is leaving and 100% white furniture is coming in. The only colour I really need to work around is the yellow oak floors and yellow wood doors (which may be painted white at some point).

I'm looking for a pretty, light, yellow (not blue or mint) spring green.

Of the swatches I have to hand:

Pale celery - too light, not green enough

pale avocado – too dark and dull (but right amount of yellow)

glazed green - too blue (but right amount of pretty)

castleton mist - not fresh enough.

Do you have any suggestions for me to try? The room is sunny, southwest facing with two windows.

I will also be in the market for interesting blackout curtains, maybe something in the navy and white family, or whatever. It's pretty open. So if you see any internet-available fun blackout curtains let me know. I'm really into the short curtain look right now so I will be hemming up whatever I find. I don't live near any good home retailers but I do shop on Etsy and Wayfair.


PS I will be painting swatches! I just need some good greens to put on my sample shopping list.
