Green is the breakout color trend of 2025–2026. From soft sage kitchens to deep forest accent walls, every shade of green is surging in popularity. The movement is driven by biophilic design — the idea that incorporating nature into interiors improves well-being. Green connects a room to the outdoors without requiring a single plant.
Sage and muted greens like Benjamin Moore Saybrook Sage and Sherwin-Williams Softened Green work as sophisticated neutrals. Deeper greens like Benjamin Moore Essex Green and Sherwin-Williams Pewter Green create dramatic, library-like spaces. Green pairs naturally with wood tones, brass hardware, and natural textiles.
Soft, low-chroma greens like Sea Salt (LRV 63) work as whole-room neutrals, while a saturated jewel-tone such as PPG Vining Ivy (LRV 15) is best reserved for an accent wall or a powder room.
