Using forest green in your home
Forest Green works when it has texture around it. Use it on built ins, kitchen cabinets, a powder room, dining room, or exterior trim with warm white, brass, walnut, charcoal, or cream stone. North light can make British Racing Green look near black. South light reveals more leaf in Mellow Lake. Do not rely on one tiny chip. Large walls deepen fast, and satin sheen can show brush marks.
