We’ve been loving the growing number of designers and homeowners choosing green cabinetry, and honestly, we’re here for it. Whether the shade leans dark, light, moody, vibrant, deep, or soft and pastel, green has a way of bringing personality into a space without overpowering it. At Sean’s Cabinetry, our team is genuinely passionate about working with green tones, and we’re excited to share some of the best green paint colors from recent projects.

In today’s blog, we’re walking you through a few standout green paint colors we’ve completed lately. Think Evergreen Fog, Caldwell Green, Stay in Lime SW 9032, Ash Grey by Farrow & Ball, and Forestwood. Each green brings its own mood and character, and we’ll show you how they come to life on custom cabinetry. Our goal is to help you handpick a shade that feels right for your home and inspire you with real project photos along the way.

Discovering the best green paint colors for any space isn’t easy, but green consistently delivers a sense of harmony and calm. From kitchens to dry bars and beyond, these shades create depth, warmth, and balance. Especially when paired with custom cabinetry, green becomes a design choice that feels both intentional and classy without trying too hard. Let’s dive in.

1. One of the Best Green Paint Colors: Evergreen Fog

Another fun collaboration with the construction2style design team, and this time Evergreen Fog is truly in the spotlight. Used on this dry bar, Sherwin-Williams Evergreen Fog (SW 9130) is truly the best green paint color. It brings a soft, earthy green-gray presence that immediately grounds the space. Named the 2022 Color of the year, it’s easy to understand why this shade never really left the conversation. It feels calm, elevated, and effortlessly livable.

Evergreen Fog is a true chameleon. Depending on the light, it shifts between green and gray with subtle beige and blue undertones, creating depth without overpowering the room. It reads as a nature-inspired neutral, making it ideal for cabinetry while still feeling fresh and modern. This dry bar is proof of just how beautiful and versatile the color can be.

The Everleigh Cambria countertop was the perfect pairing. Its blend of cool grays and warm, sandy tones creates a balanced contrast against the cabinetry, tying bold pattern movement to softer, tone-on-tone elements. Together, the materials create a dry bar that feels thoughtful, cohesive, and quietly stunning.

2. Caldwell Green

Caldwell Green HC-124 is a rich, refined hunter green with a subtle slate undertone that gives it depth without heaviness. There’s a quiet sophistication to this color. It carries a gentle touch of blue, which keeps it from reading as a traditional forest green and instead gives it a cooler, more composed feel.

This shade is especially well suited for spaces like a home office, where calm and focus matter, but you still want the room to feel energized and intentional. Caldwell Green strikes that balance beautifully. It feels peaceful and grounding, yet dynamic enough to bring good energy into the space. Since it’s a deeper color, it absorbs more light than it reflects, creating a cozy, enveloping atmosphere that feels elevated and intentional.

We always recommend sampling this color before committing, especially when you’re leaning moody rather than neutral. Lighting plays a huge role in how Caldwell Green will read in your home, and sampling is the best way to see how it shifts throughout the day. Beyond an office, this color works beautifully on kitchen cabinetry, as an accent wall, or even color-drenched in a bedroom for a bold yet calming statement.

3. Sherwin-Williams Stay in Lime SW 9032

Stay in Lime is pure joy in color form. It’s happy, fun, and very noticeable. This is not a shade that blends into the background, it sets the tone the moment you walk into the space. A bold and refreshing lime green, it instantly infuses energy, personality, and a sense of playfulness wherever it’s used.

This color feels right at home in a smoothie café, juice bar, or any FunHaus-vibe space that is playful and fun, where creativity and good energy matter.

In this kitchen, the homeowner wanted a true splash of color, and they absolutely got it. Used on the island, Stay in Lime becomes the focal point, grounding the room with confidence while bringing an instant mood lift.

It’s the kind of green that makes people smile. Bright without feeling chaotic, bold without feeling forced. Stay in Lime proves that sometimes the best design choice is the one that brings instant happiness and makes a space feel alive.

4. Ash Grey - Farrow & Ball

Ash Grey by Farrow & Ball is a relaxed green-grey that feels effortless and lived-in. It brings a sense of calm to a space while still offering enough depth to feel intentional on custom cabinetry.

What makes this color especially compelling is its underlying green. In natural daylight, that green becomes more pronounced, giving the cabinetry a fresh, organic feel. As the light softens, the color shifts greyer, creating a quieter, more subdued mood. That subtle movement throughout the day is what gives Ash Grey its depth and longevity.

On cabinetry, this shade feels timeless and versatile. It pairs beautifully with warm wood tones, natural stone, and classic metals. When layered with Sherwin-Williams SW 2445 Creamy on trim or surrounding walls, the space feels warm and inviting without losing its refined edge. The contrast is soft, balanced, and never too stark.

This kitchen shows exactly why Ash Grey works so well. It delivers color without drama. This space feels warm but not heavy. It carries a relaxed elegance that feels elevated.

5. Forestwood 

Forestwood SW 7730 is a deep, grounded green that instantly creates a sense of calm and quiet intrigue. With yellow and gray undertones woven into the base, this shade feels rich and organic rather than heavy, inviting a rooted, almost nature-wrapped feeling into the space.

Used here on a dry bar, Forestwood shows its strength as a moody statement color. It brings depth and intimacy, making the space feel intentional and layered. This is a darker paint color, so it naturally absorbs light, which adds to its cozy quality. The result is a space that feels warm, refined, and a little dramatic in the best way.

Forestwood works beautifully in bathrooms, living rooms, and bedrooms where you want to slow things down and create atmosphere. It pairs especially well with warm wood tones, soft neutrals, and subtle metallic accents, allowing the color to anchor the room without overpowering it. If you’re drawn to deep greens that feel sophisticated, calming, and quietly bold, Forestwood delivers every time.

Therefore, finding the best green paint colors for your home is about more than what looks good on a swatch. From the soft, grounding presence of Evergreen Fog, to the refined depth of Caldwell Green, the playful energy of Stay in Lime, the relaxed versatility of Ash Grey, and the moody richness of Forestwood, each shade creates a completely different experience. Green has the unique ability to shift a space’s mood, whether you’re after calm, character, warmth, or a bold statement.
