Green in all its hues is an enduringly popular shade in interiors. Whether it's a lick of paint, a 'pop' of decor, leafy houseplants, or luxuriously verdant soft furnishings, it's a color loved for its natural connotations and it works in pretty much every scheme — except when it doesn't. Just because it's a commonly used, naturally-occurring, and easy-to-pair shade, doesn't mean decorating with green is always straightforward.

"Featuring a blend of both warm and cool undertones, navy blue hues create a balanced space that feels inviting and serene," says Hannah Yeo, a color expert from paint brand Benjamin Moore.
