Struggling to find the perfect green paint

Would love people to share pics of their green rooms. I am trying to find a lovely soft sage green that’s not too dark. I have tried paints called ‘sage’ from nearly every brand and they’re all too dark or look a bit too rich so I need to branch out.

Everything seems to come out too dark in my house. I saw pics online of Dulux Tranquil Dawn and it looks like a gorgeous light green-grey, tested it on my wall and it’s practically dark blue! So ridiculous! Have this issue with nearly every paint I test, always looks ten shades darker in my house yet everyone else’s pictures look great.

DD is set on the Valspar "healthy wealthy and wise"for her room. She has dark teal curtains and the carpet will be a grey/green colour

B&Q Limerick turned out to be our perfect green, despite quickly grabbing it off the shelf without much thought before lockdown started!

We are currently doing the exact same thing, bought 5 sample pots so far. Think we have settled on Tracery II by Little Green Paint...a bit like F&B Mizzle but more green than grey!

@TiresomePaperDreams funnily enough willow tree is now the one to beat! With the first coat I thought it was too pale and minty but now with a second coat it looks really good. It’s for a nursery so I don’t mind something a bit light. My house is just so dark! Probably why willow tree looks good to me, it’s brought down a few shades in my house lol.

did you go for Willow Tree in the end.

@LindaDawn no we chose F&B Mizzle
