Warm dark green for north facing room - jewel beetle?

[UnimaginableWindBird]

My sitting room is small, with a large north-facing bay window which looks out onto the front garden which has a lot of greenery.

The floor is light coloured bamboo. One wall is lined with Kallax shelving in the white stained oak colour, with seagrass inserts in the bottom rows.

We are about to buy a new sofa, which is why want to decide on the wall colour - I am veering towards either a saffron velvet, a neutral biscuity beige, or tan leather. There are some brass items in the room.

It will be somewhere to watch TV and sit and read or enjoy music. I wait to feel warm and cozy and cocoony in lamplight in the winter and at night, but cool and shady and linked to the garden on warm summer days.

Does anyway have any good paint suggestions? I really like Jewel Beetle but am a bit worried it might be too dark.

Jewel beetle looks like army surplus paint

I'd chose F&B Bancha over Jewel Beetle. It's not so harsh.

Jewel beetle is really not a nice green. I wouldn't put it anywhere in my home. It's also nothing like the colour of an actual jewel beetle!

I have a bedroom and the bathroom in F&B Lichen. It’s dark enough to look cosy but not too dark. It works really well with the colours you have (floor, shelving). I’m so happy with it. I have no window in the bathroom but it doesn’t look gloomy or dark. It’s a cosy green imo. I got the colour matched in Crown as couldn’t afford F&B. It’s a scrubbable matt

Against the grain here, but I think Jewel Beetle is a really gorgeous sophisticated green that would lovely against saffron velvet or tan leather - I can see those textures and colours being brilliant together and Little Greene paints have loads of pigment in them so you’ll really get the colour pay off you want. I reckon it will be relatively dark in a small, north-facing space, but that is the joy of a rich paint and you have a lovely big window.

I’m a little less sold on the green against pale wood - I think something darker might be more the thing. But a rug might solve that for you?

If you’re looking for alternatives, I like LG olive colour which is in the same world, and I’ve previously had rooms painted in LG Hopper and LG Garden, both of which felt calming and gorgeous. (Yes I do like green!)
