Let’s step into a home refresh with Behr’s best greens!
Breezeway
Breezeway is a light and airy seaglass green that offers an uplifting, cooling influence in any space. It’s Behr’s 2022 Color of the Year.
Breezeway looks beautiful with whites, grays, and natural materials like wood or stone. It has a LRV of 66.
Jojoba
Jojoba is a warm, earthy, pastel green. Behr describes it as a therapeutic color that evokes tranquility. It has yellow-green undertones. Jojoba is a great choice to pair with natural woods. It has a LRV of 47.
Morning Zen
Morning Zen is a light sage green. Its LRV of 60 sets it right in the ideal range that many decorators favor for its adaptability to light conditions. It would make an ideal wall color, but it would also be lovely on cabinets.
Garden Spot
Garden Spot is a refreshing light apple green. As a medium-toned color, you could put it to a variety of uses–it’s dark enough to offer some contrast, but light enough to serve as a main color in well-lit rooms. Garden Spot has a LRV of 54.
Dragonfly
Dragonfly is a cool blue-green with gray undertones. This more mild take on teal can give you a more subdued touch of the tropical in your decor. Its color is reminiscent of flapjack succulent plants. Dragonfly has a LRV of 26.
Minty Frosting
Minty Frosting is a subdued pale green blended with light gray. The name might make you think that this is a saccharine color, but it actually resembles soft lichens on a tree branch. Minty Frosting can help small spaces feel larger and more open. It has a LRV of 77.
Dancing Jewel
Dancing Jewel is a darker tone of a kelly green. The depths of this color do in fact appear to dance around! Dancing Jewel has a LRV of 26.
Caribbean Current
Caribbean Current is a vibrant dark teal with cool, refreshing depths. It leans more into its green side than your average teal.
You can pair this color with strong colors like golden yellow, charcoal gray, royal purple, or coral pink. Teals are trending as front door colors with strong curb appeal, so Caribbean Current would be an eye-catching front door choice as well. Its LRV is 12.
Royal Orchard
Royal Orchard is a natural, botanical green that’s nicely balanced, giving it a warmer vibe than your average green. If you’re looking for a more subdued green but don’t want to head into the gray range, this is a good choice. Royal Orchard has a LRV of 14.
Laurel Tree
Laurel Tree is a botanical green blended with gray, that’s somewhat comparable to Evergreen Fog or October Mist–both 2022 Colors of the Year for their respective brands. It has more green and less gray than either of those colors, though. The gray aspect makes Laurel Tree more neutral and subdued. It has a LRV of 29.
Sparkling Emerald
Sparkling Emerald is a lush, deep forest green. This is a classic color that’s great for traditional and historic styles, and it would look very elegant paired with gold metalwork. Sparkling Emerald has a LRV of 12.
