It is fair to say it is a colour that wouldn’t feature on most people’s colour palate.

This is partly down to the fact that most people are unaware of how to use it and

greens in general tend not be as popular as other colours.

 

However, if applied correctly you can create a refined, sophisticated and unusual interior decor.

 

 

 

Olive green can work equally well in both

contemporary and traditional settings.

 

Like most colours olive green comes

in a range of hues and tones, choosing

the right shade can make all the difference.

 

 

 

Olive green can be combined with colours like

red, navy, orange, yellow and even pink.

 

Creams, white and black provide contrast.

 

Olive green works well with most types of natural

wood echoing nature and also different metals like

polished steel, gold, silver and bronze.

 

However, a word of caution. If you are considering using olive green as the main colour on walls for example, it is crucial to get the lighting right as otherwise the colour can appear gloomy and murky especially when it’s dim.
