Lovin’ Green
Spring green is the fusion of green and yellow. Just stick with light to medium shades for a dash of color that does not overwhelm. Be careful in using green as the eyes have a tendency to veer towards this color. You wouldn’t want to use it in a spot or design element that you do not actually want to highlight. For instance, putting a lot of green in a living room with a great picturesque view outside would be pointless. You are, in essence, defeating the purpose of the window where the view is supposed to be sublime.

The walls can be kept white so that the ceiling color (painted spring green) would pop. Add small accents of the same color but of a different shade throughout the room. Green could go cooler with blues and grays while it could become warmer if you add wood tones.
If you want to use green on the stairway, hallways and other areas with constant foot traffic, then do so. These areas are often painted with boring white or neutral colors. Let these areas leap to life as you use spring green on the walls and framed photos.
