Hunter green paints have been huge in interior design the past few years. Painting your walls green adds more personality and freshness than the minimalist grays that came before it. Forest green accents are reminiscent of French farmhouse kitchens and cottages. Some of these greens can feel rustic or overly vibrant, Shade-Grown (SW 6188) by Sherwin-Williams strikes the perfect balance, making it a standout choice.
What is the most popular shade of green?
Shade-Grown is on the same swatch as other popular Sherwin-Williams greens like SW 6187 Rosemary and SW 6186 Dried Thyme. These are some of the most popular shades of green in the Sherwin-Williams catalog.
What sets Shade-Grown apart is it's depth and concentration, it has the same herbal elements people love about those more popular shades but with a bolder, more sophisticated presence.
Dark green paint for interior design
Smoky dark greens like Shade-Grown have a unique quality: they tend to reflect light in a way that makes them appear almost gray, or even slightly blue. Seeing as dark gray has been all the rage in recent years, Shade-Grown green gives you the best of both worlds—a hint of color with the timeless appeal of gray.

What shade of green is good for a bedroom?
Dark shades can make rooms big and small feel both cozy and warm, which makes it a perfect choice for a bedroom. If you’re someone who enjoys waking up to natural light, but also values a dark, restful space for sleeping, a dark green like Shade-Grown in your bedroom can make a big difference keeping out light while you’re trying to sleep.

Dark green paint color for bathroom
Sometimes people are concerned about using dark colors in small bathrooms, fearing that the bathroom will feel small and stuffy. Shade-Grown is not a shade to be concerned about! This sophisticated green pairs beautifully with gold or bronze accents, marble floors or countertops and wooden decor elements. In bathrooms without windows, it takes on a warm, inviting glow paired with warm-hued lighting.
Dark green paint for kitchen cabinetry
One of the most refreshing recent paint trends has been using forest green for kitchen cabinetry. Shade-Grown is a beautiful green paint for cabinetry because of the slight gray undertone, it will compliment different wood tones in the floors, furniture, cutting boards or butcher blocks. And if you are embracing your French bistro dreams and are going to have exposed copper cookware on display, there’s no better color pairing.
