Softened Green in the Bedroom
May 05, 2015
Share this
This beautiful, soft green is so soothing and pretty! Softened green is the perfect neutral green paint color and looks great with white and black accents.
The last time I showed you our guest room, I shared the new bedding – it made a big difference in here!:
I love it! But as I mentioned, I was ready for a change on the walls.
I painted that wall of green ombre squares a couple years ago and it was a HUGE upgrade from the bright colors we had when this was my stepdaughter’s room years back.
They were fun for sure but hard to decorate around. And if I wanted to change the paint color this would be a LOT of taping off again! So I went looking for the color that I saw in my head. I loved the green, I just wanted something a little more deep and with some gray tones to it.
I have had this photo tucked away as inspiration for years:
I have loved this green and black combo since I saw it! I wanted to go with a more gray green than in the photo, and use the color on the walls too (instead of white).
I found three gray green colors that were good contenders. From the left my picks were Softened Green, Contented and Comfort Gray:
I know, the middle and right look blue or gray here, right? It’s so funny how colors look alone and against each other. When you see one by itself you’ll think green with some gray tones and when you see it next to others it looks like a gray with greenish blue tones. Each of these were with the greens in the paint book.
A quick tip to figure out the underlying tone of the colors on the paint chip – look to the darker colors and you’ll see the base. For greens it can range from olive to blue to brown.
I got a sample of each one to see how they looked in the room. This is so important if you’re not 100 percent sure about a color! I usually recommend to paint it on a poster board so you can move it around the room. The color will even look different on each wall because of the light. I was pretty sure what color I was going with so I didn’t do that:
From left to right the colors are Softened Green, Contented and Comfort Gray.
Also, don’t judge the color just yet! It will change colors as it dries and gets darker:
You know how I said I was pretty sure what color I wanted? I was wrong. :) I was surprised at the one I loved the best! I went way more green than I was planning. The Contented and Comfort Gray were way too gray for what I wanted, and even had a bit of an aqua tone.
Before I decided for sure I did some research online to see the colors in action. Blogs and Pinterest make that so easy! Here’s Contented:
And here’s Comfort Gray:
Much too blue and gray for what I wanted. (But very pretty!)
Thankfully Sherwin-Williams also has a handy dandy light box in the store so you can see your color in both natural light (left) and incandescent light (right):
Isn’t the difference crazy? Make sure you either leave a sample up on the wall throughout the day or try this out. Natural light (or not) in a room will really change how the color looks.
I grabbed another green color to show you how different the greens can look too:
When you see it against that one you can really see how the Softened Green has some gray tones to it.
When I was sure of the color I picked out the finish – I’ve tried most of these and decided on the Emerald finish that I used on the master closet last year:
I use eggshell on all of the walls in our house. I find it washes best and can be touched up easiest. Flat has come a long way as far as durability, but I won’t use it on walls again after having it for years. It was a disaster with a young child (it’s not easy to clean).
Anything shinier than an eggshell or satin will be glossy and will show a lot of imperfections in your wall. I use those for trim and my board and batten walls but that’s it. :)
Even though I’ve used this paint for years now, I was a little worried as I started painting over the squares. The white part was the original wall color so when you first paint it really shows the difference:
But as you can see if you look to the left, when the paint dries you can’t see any difference in the paint color! I was honestly a little shocked and quite impressed.
I’ll show you the whole room reveal next week! I’m so happy with the space and I did it within a super low budget too. :)
Until then here’s the peek I shared a few weeks ago when I showed you the new window trim I installed:
I absolutely, positively LOVE this color. It is so soothing and pretty and still a little sophisticated.
Have you ever tried this Softened Green? Ever started painting and hated the new color? I’ve been there for sure. Hopefully these tips will help to avoid that! :)
LOVE the green! And love the way the paint hides the squares! Can't wait for the full room reveal!!

I love your use of green in the room--- a color you don't see every day in the design world. I'm excited to see the final reveal since everything you do is gorgeous! sconnor273 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI am a Sherwin Williams customer too Sarah!! One of the things I like about SW is that they can mix any paint color. Looking forward to seeing the finished room. BTW, I am off to SW to ask for help with a color for my front door. Like you, I have an idea but I am not totally sure...they also give great advice.
ReplyDeleteI've always been a Behr paint fan. I've never painted with anything else, but would love to try Sherwin Williams. I've heard good things.

We have a Sherwin Williams where I live, but I have never been in there...no reason really, not sure why. I have some paingting to do thanks to builder flat paint and a 3 year old! Would love to try SW!

Beautiful color. I may try it for some painting projects I have coming up.
ReplyDeleteWe spent a lot of time last year painting the downstairs rooms of our new (to us) house, now to start on the upstairs rooms. Love the Softened Green shade!
ReplyDeleteSoo pretty!! Sure to be very relaxing for your guests!

Sherwin Williams is my FAVORITE! I love going into the store, they know their paint! We just painted our half bath from a really dark Riverway to a much lighter color. It has been quite the change and I am still getting used to it! lindseynstorm at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteGreat color! I have more than once picked a color and decided against it, sadly it's usually after the whole room is painted.
ReplyDeletechelle.conn.blog@gmail.com
Ooooh, love the color you chose. Sherwin Williams is great and I was SOOO glad to find out the other day that Lowes now carries SW paint. Now I can get the SW at my fingertips easier and closer to home. Yay!

ReplyDeleteI love Comfort Gray! It's so funny to me how many different colors it can be, though! I painted my daughter's room that color, and sometimes it's super gray, sometimes kind of an aqua color, and other times it looks straight green! It's crazy how much it changes, but honestly, I love every shade of it throughout the day. jessicabuben at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteI LOVE SW colors! I'm not a fan of green, but I do love the shade you chose. I'm in the process of repainting all of our bedrooms and bathrooms, so this giveaway would come in very handy. TamaraRN13 at yahoo dot com

ReplyDeleteSW is my favorite paint - won't get anything else!

I'll go buy some samples and check it out. As far as the $100 Sherwin Williams, that would definitely help with that project, so enter me in the contest jarcourtash at msn dot com.

This color you chose is beautiful, I really like how it has the gray tones...but isn't JUST gray. The slight green hue in it is so soft and perfect for this beautiful spring weather. Gorgeous! trisha.atkinson@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThe green is very soothing and calm! I love it. I Amlooking at blue greys right now to redo a faux stone panel - it's now a yellowed limestone color and needs new life

I love your choice. It is a beautiful shade of green...or at least it is on my monitor!
ReplyDeleteWhen I started reading your blog post, I thought for sure the grey with green undertones you were going to announce was either Sea Salt or Rainwashed by Sherwin Williams that seems to be all over Pinterest and blog land right now. I went in just this past Friday to get samples and surprised at how flat grey they looked after seeing the beautiful spa blue pictures on my computer screen. And that they had such a green base, as evident from the bottom of the color chip like you said. I've also had the same thing happen when painting over a wall that was different colors top and bottom - looked like the paint wasn't going to cover the colors the same but it magically dried all one color. gwenholmgren@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI would like to paint my living/dining room. This gift card would help a lot. I love your decorating style. -J

Love the color and could really use the gift card as we are getting ready to move to a house that needs.paint.everywhere. (Can you say very, very dirty and ugly.)

ReplyDeleteWe built our home two years ago and painted the interior in two SW colors: either Tatami Tan or Cafe Au Lait.

Choosing paint is so hard, especially if it includes Grey! We moved into our house a year ago and I am slowly getting it all painted. Some of my choices I regret a little bit...good thing I can just paint over them right?! lessitton@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteSW paint is awesome. I love how it glides on, has virtually no spatter, and covers in one coat. Painted our Master BR in a soft green (Koi Pond) and looks good no matter what light.
ReplyDeleteThis would be the greatest opportunity for my son. He is working on his Eagle Project for boy Scouts. We happened to visit our local Sherwin Williams and they donated several primary colors for the project, which is wonderful. But along with the painting you need supplies to paint with. He is creating an outdoor reading garden at the elementary school with flowers, benches, and a fence painted like crayons. It is going to be very whimsical and fun. Keeping our fingers crossed. michele.maule@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteOh I would LOVE to win this (as everyone else would!!). Sherwin Williams is the best paint! I have had a color horror story before. I started painted my entry way and stairwell a color that was supposed to be a grayish brownish color and when it dried, people told me it looked anywhere from purple to pink to gray to brown. Huh?!? It was horrible--and it's still on my walls because it took FOREVER to paint. This gift card would help me take care of that! bradyw13@hotmail.com

ReplyDeleteLooks lovely so far. And Thanks for the "choosing the right color tips". I am about to begin a whole house re-do project & I like your idea about the board & setting it in different places in the room.
ReplyDeleteWhen we built our home 15 yrs. ago, I asked a professional painter & he said to use only Sherwin Williams & we were very happy with it & have only used SW since. Back in that day, it was popular to do the whole house in one color... so we went with it, beige, beige, beige.... I now need color!!!! Thanks for the chance...
Looking forward to your whole room reveal..... K. (kathvdk@gmail.com)
Love SW paint. I actually go to their stores because the service agents there know their stuff. I had a back porch patio to paint and they recommended Comex because of its durability. Just painted last week and I have a whole new patio. I love it! Nadine @ peacockfamily .com (Leave out spaces)

What a pretty color! I love Sherwin Williams paint! I think it's time to paint another room - you inspired me! Kaitlynbird(at)optimum(dot)net

When I bought my house every room was a shade of pink or orange, completely not my taste! I was in such a hurry to change it that i didn't wait to see what my color choices looked like in my home before buying. The colors I chose for my dining room, laundry area, and bathrooms look horrible! Due to financial reasons I haven't been able to change them so it would be amazing to win. I've also never used Sherwin Williams and would love to try them out. mooncow728 (at) yahoo (dot) com

I currently have a similar color on my walls that is based on a historic palette from the National Register. I am thinking of lightening up things with a creamy white so you have given some great tips. josh.asiyah.adoption@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny---I have been deciding on color for our family room and narrowed it down to Softened Green!
ReplyDeleteWe just picked out Sherman Williams Rosemary to paint our entire exterior... $100 would pay for some paint!
ReplyDeleteThese are such great tips, thank you! I've come a long ways from the first room I painted, but I feel these tips will help even more as I start again with painting my new-to-me house. I have only used Valspar paint, but it sounds like I need to try Sherwin Williams :). Thanks for a giveaway! Tiffbrow@hotmail.com
