Overview

Forest Green, as the name implies, is a brighter green shade with yellow undertones reminiscent of a patch of forest in the sun. It’s a great choice to use in any room of your home but is an especially excellent option for creating a warm, welcoming living room or entryway. Hunter Green is a deeper hue with blue-green undertones. It can come precariously close to black, which gives it a sense of mystery and sophistication. Since it is bold, we suggest reserving Hunter Green for accent walls and trim. Forest Green is a bright, medium-dark shade, while Hunter Green is a deeper jewel tone, and both shades of green are available in various sheens, from matte to high-gloss.
