I disagree with “too muddy”. I think they work fine, but I prefer the green shades for that room
Does this look good in your opinion? I plan to paint my living room a green like this.
It clashes with the white, and it makes a bad contrast to it. This color would look better in a space with more natural wood, or just darker and more natural surroundings in general.
I know I asked your opinion but I was mostly just curious what you'd say. You have poor taste! These colors look great together!
First of all it is not my own opinion that they dont go well, it is objective. Cool, crisp white and dirty warm green objectively clash. Basic color theory.
Second of all you asked me a question to prove that you dont agree with me and am, therefore, wrong? So you must be under 18 then? Get off reddit, its dangerous for children.
What the hell dude you have the same colors going on in your own house lol
Love that you checked my profile! If you didnt notice, in the title im asking for an explanation to why i dont like it, not to why i love it and think its a great color choice.
I guess everyone just sees color differently, because your "dark saturated" green looks very light to me!
Also a quick Google search is telling me that there is no rule about "clashing whites". White is a neutral color that goes with anything. Only thing I can see clashing with white is another white color. Just saying!
I guess so.
White is not neutral. Pure white is considered cool.
I don't think it's objective, and that green I linked you isn't a dirty warm green. Either way it goes with the wood floor, and I like the contrast of the white baseboards. Pretty much anything goes with white. I just think your opinion is funny is all.
Either you think it or not, there are rules to aesthetics and objectively good/bad choices. Whether you like it or not depends on your own standards and has nothing to do with design! Also no, not anything goes with white. Depends on the white too, and we are talking about pure white here which is quite difficult to make it look homey.
And there is nothing funny about my opinion.
Yes.
Hello, sorry for the late reply. My plan was to paint first, then get all the furniture, but now I'll get the furniture and paint after what goes best with those. I want to go for a Early Georgian/Old English vibe with dark wood furniture, black leather couch etc. Might be the floors don't go too well with that though.
I'm not quite sure I understand your suggestion though, mostly the color dropper on each of the basic colors part.
Hi. Its mostly the ceiling that is the problem. Ill get back to you later
You need actual samples on the wall. Paint never looks the same room to room, and this isn’t even real.

Team 2! We have it in our hallway, and it’s so fun to decorate with. We get constant compliments on the shade
What color is it? I really like it!
For ours, we did sophisticated teal by Behr!

TEAM TWO!!! it lightens the room, is a versatile color for all seasons, and seems to be a good blend between all 4 colors.
Two or Four
5 - white green makes the room smaller. Add some big unique art instead
Yeah I love the white color through art and drapes would be better

I hate it so much lol
you take that back!
Never!
3 is the best for sure
Kind of want an old english style with it, think that's what you could call it, not sure. Can't decide what paint to use, as I want all four walls painted, and afraid it might get too weird for the living room. Thinking of dark wood furniture and black leather. Want to create a cozy space both for drinking with friends over and reading a book late at night. Any color suggestions or layout suggestions?
Given the style you're going for I'd say 1 or 4.
- It’ll look very cozy with the dark leather
If you want to google for inspiration, I think the "old english" style that you are likely referring to is specifically the "early Georgian" period, i.e. the period of king George's reign prior to the Regency period.
Receiving rooms featured quite dark colours like olive greens and burgundies, which I think it what you're shooting for.
Have a google, because this type of interior can look really cosy and welcoming, but also sophisticated and smart, particularly after nightfall. Its far from the only era of English interior design, but I think is the one that you're shooting for.
4 but change the furniture. The dark brown table and chairs make it all muddy. You need more contrast, some light oak perhaps. Ignore the advice to go for white, white is just dirty and does not make a room look bigger,just dirtier and more depressing, unless you have a large room filled with natural light.
Just wanted to share something that might help. There is a free app (Home Depot Project Color) that lets you use your camera or a picture of a room and then see what that wall would look like with different paint colors that the store offers. It might work better than using software to paint over the images.
Ultimately, the best way to determine if a color works is getting small paint samples from somewhere and trying them out on that wall.
I love No 2.

I like number 2.
Visualizers won’t do it justice. Go to Sherwin Williams and get the $10 samples. They’re a quart so enough to cover a decent chunk of this room. I can’t tell you how many colors I loved on the swatch + visualizer and hated on the wall.
Advice I was recently given: ask yourself “how does this color make you feel? Don’t overthink it.

green is always calming. 1 or 4 can't decide

3, but the shade needs to be a bit lighter
- I really like 3 but I'm a blue nut.
What does the furniture going into the room look like?
Need to know what side the window is facing and what hemisphere you are in mate. Colors will differ drastically based on the lighting the room is exposed to
Look up Dulux heritage rosemary leaf - you will be able to get it colour matched to whatever paint they sell wherever you are but it’s similar in vibes to your colours but has a beautiful light undertones to it instead of the muddy undertones on these colours
Am i the only one that likes the room as is? Add accent rug, pillows and some art to brighten it up
Layout 1 with color #4.
You mentioned Old English style. I think someone posted pics in this sub a while back?
Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/InteriorDesign/s/10NBNK3U9m
They used a lighter green in the living room, which looks nice, and lighter furniture. Might be too much if you go dark with both.
Thanks for the link, looks really good I'll pull some inspiration from that.
I’m loving that green in number 1
Paint color 2, layout 1
3 🤮
2!!
I'm going with the consensus, 2. It's a perfect balance between 1 and 3 and lends itself to both blue and green tone accents.
I like number 3. It’s so much brighter. The others feel a little dim.
White better

Is #4 shade grown by Sherwin-Williams?
I’ve always heard that whatever color you choose, go two shades lighter
If you want old English, you'll have to go darker and stronger green than #1 and combine it with dark furniture, carpets and gold/brass metal. We've got our living room in that style.
Do you think you can send a photo of yours or photos of what you used as an inspiration?
The mood of those pictures comes close to it.

Absolutely love your floors! Did you have them refinished? Mind asking me what product you used?
I love 2 have similar color in my kitchen.
Personally love the white but if doing a color 4
2 or 4
None, these look like office colors
1
For me #3 or #2 or maybe a pastel version of #2?
Keep all walls neutral if its small and that small window is your only source of natural light
All horrible colors if i HAD TO pick a color #4

I like 1. The brightness is nice.

2 or 4 depending on how the natural lighting is in the room
Color 4, layout 1
Paint color 2 and Layout 1

I like the 2nd option the most. And the 4th one is not bad.
I like all of them. I'm no help!!!
None - too heavy- white room plus art and coloured big rug
Any of these would look great, but I lean more to 2 or 4. I would highly recommend getting a sample pot to test all four on the wall to see how the space is with them.
three is giving teenage boy room
To quote the office "they're all the same room"
This is not what you asked for but i wouldnt reccomend these colors because they are too muddy to go next to the whites that surround them. My suggestion is take the photo of your room to an app like picsart or something, take the color dropper to each of the basic colors ( door, furniture, foor, ceiling ) and then chose a similar shade to those in the pics but one that ties better with those other colors. It should probably be something a little brighter and more saturated, although since i see a lot of gray-beige-ness going on i would recommend something relatively soft.
