Green is a popular, versatile color known for the fresh, calming aesthetic it brings to rooms. It’s a popular choice for bedrooms, entryways, and spacious spa-like bathrooms. Some shades of this color stand out as one-of-a-kind, like lime green, but others share a lot of overlapping traits that make them similar enough to be confused with one another. Forest Green and Hunter Green are two of these shades.

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.
