Do you have a green living room?

I’m trying to find the perfect green but I’m struggle.

Some look too minty, some too blue, some to dirty olive. . I want a lovely sage, but as it’s going in every wall I don’t want it too dark.

please share if you have found the perfect green.

I have F&B Lichen in my hallway. It’s a very pretty and versatile green, but it is fairly dark. F&B Vert de Terre is a similar but slightly lighter shade. Maybe worth a look. I was toying with it for my living room (but I think I might go pink instead, if I can find the right shade of soft rose that’s not too saccharine sweet)

Dulux crushed aloe is lovely.

willwetalkinthemornin · 28/07/2025 19:39

F&B vert de terre - I love it so much, painted it in 2010 when we moved in and I have never been bored with it!

jamsandwich1 · 28/07/2025 19:40

About to paint ours! Struggling between F&B lichen or card room green. I think lichen sounds more like what you’re looking for?

Dulux crushed aloe is lovely.

Came to say this! Had it in my lounge for years, on all walls, really loved it. Then I had a mid life crisis and painted it all red 🤣

It’s green as get out but darker than a sage colour.
Mine is COAT ‘Adulting’ everyone went on about how dark it would be but it isn’t at all. As I have white skirting and coving it’s a lovely contrast.

I have B&Q goodhome range limerick, it’s only on one wall in my lounge but it’s a very long wall and looks great!

My living room and kitchen are Dulux heritage sage green and I love it! I would paint my whole house with it if the rest of the family would let me!

ShushAndLetMummySpeak · 28/07/2025 19:56

We have B&Q Milltown in our lounge - this is a stock photo as my actual wall would be too identifying 🫣

We have Dulux overtly olive, which is a nice soft warm shade of green.

We have Dulux Heritage Rosemary Leaf which we really like.

PollockMullet · 28/07/2025 21:50

What aspect does the room have?

AuldTheDeepMinded · 28/07/2025 21:53

I do, it's a sage green by Wilco. Ps I think green is ths new grey!

Medee · 28/07/2025 21:55

A dupe of F&b breakfast room green.

Cocolapew · 28/07/2025 21:55

Yes but not sage, F&B Arsenic.

hellololabells2019 · 28/07/2025 21:56

F&B Bancha

Thingyfanding · 28/07/2025 21:57

I think you’re looking for ‘Lichen’
I have vert de terre (both F&B) and it’s still too minty in certain lights to me.

DonewhatIcando · 28/07/2025 21:58

F&B Vert de Terre, had my kitchen cabinet doors spray painted.
It's a lovely colour

searchforthesun · 28/07/2025 21:59

Little greene ‘French Grey’ - it is green though!

Mikart · 28/07/2025 22:00

We have F & B card room green in our lounge and I hate it. Previous owners did it. We are redecorating!

iwantavuvezela · 28/07/2025 22:02

Borringden green 295 - Little Green - lovely darkish sage green - looks fabulous
