![]() Green And Three Shades - Lime, Sage, And HunterLime, sage, and hunter are three very attractive colors that are used in a variety of different accents and accessories. One of the decorating trends now is to blend in different shades of one color in a room or throughout your living space. I personally think by taking a base primary color and working with the softer or darker tones of that color, you can give a room a real sense of your own personality. Three of the most popular shades of green are lime, sage, and hunter. Green is actually considered a secondary primary color, even though it is used as a base color in so many different decorating ideas. With the shades of sage, lime and hunter, different colors are put together to create these tones. Lime has yellow added, sage has brown added, and hunter has black added. These mixtures create the beautiful blend you see today in so many decorating products. So, the question you may have is, "how do I blend all these tones together to create a well balanced look?" A little creativity will allow you to accomplish this. Lets take a look at a couple of examples and see how well these tones blend together. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The hunter green is a great jewel tone and can create a rich and sharp look to any room. Take a look around you and see if you can find some fabric or material that has several shades coming off the base color. This is where you can take that one shade and create an entire color scheme in a room, or even take it beyond the room into other living spaces. ![]() ![]() Now I know what your thinking, "how do I look at this lime green color and think it blends in with the other tones?" I wouldn't make the lime tone the foundation color of the room. In a situation like this when a visual color like lime doesn't look like it would match well, I will use a neutral base color and blend in the lime with the hunter and sage colors. I would also make sure I have a few complimentary tones in a couple different color groups. The lime color is bright and can add a little warmth to a hunter green color or jewel tone. Use the lime color in a secondary accent or accessories such in a multi color frame, candle or linen. Multi colored fabrics will work well in this situation. ![]() Whether you use sage, hunter, lime, or a combination of two or three of these colors, blending in different shades of a primary color will give you more options with your accents and accessories. I don't know about you when you plan a room, but I am one to that is not afraid to do different color schemes throughout one room. The most important aspect of any interior project is to create a living space with your own likes and personality. It also doesn't matter if the area is in a personal or professional area, this is your own space that you will work or relax, so make the most of what you enjoy and implement it into your interior.
