The BEST Eucalyptus Green Colors For 2024 (From Every Brand!)

    Eucalyptus green is a natural and soothing type of color that inspires feelings of calm and relaxation.

    Here we will see which other paint colors look good with eucalyptus, and which specific green colors scream “eucalyptus” the most!

    What Color is Eucalyptus Green?

    Eucalyptus green is a green with blue undertones. It can range from the shade of a eucalyptus tree, which is a richer darker green, or to the dusty green color of silver or dried eucalyptus.

    Eucalyptus Green in a Color Palette

    You may be wondering: What colors go with Eucalyptus green?

    Here is a coordinating color palette:

    Eucalyptus color palette features four shades of eucalyptus green paint colors including sea salt, fresh eucalyptus, privilege green, and Gothic Green over a background of a eucalyptus green door set into a taupe stucco house.

    I took some inspiration from this door photo, because I thought the colors all work well together.

    The colors on the right side are:

    Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace – My very favorite green-based white, and one of my favorite whites period. This color has almost no undertone on the wall, so it works with everything from eucalyptus to hot pink.

    Sherwin Williams Krypton – This soft blue-gray option is one of Sherwin Williams most popular dusty blues. Blue works great with eucalyptus because they are adjacent on the color wheel.

    Magnolia Cinnamon Sugar – This mushroom color is a soft taupe that leans a tiny bit blush. You can see more from this color in my post: The Best Mushroom Paint Colors for Kitchen Cabinets

    Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze – This dark gray brown looks amazing with almost any green. Not a surprise because earthy tones belong with leafy greens!

    You might also consider using different shades of eucalyptus together:

    The background color here is Snowbound by Sherwin Williams, which is my favorite soft whites. I have also included three different shades of eucalyptus green, and finally Revere Pewter.

    Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter is a warmer neutral that looks great with eucalyptus and many people have it (or similar) in their home already! You might also like the versatility of Sherwin Williams Accessible Beige.

    What Is the Complementary Color for Eucalyptus Green?

    You may not know this, but complementary colors by definition are whatever is directly across the color wheel.

    This means that greens are complemented by purple:

    A color wheel consisting of little containers of paint arranged in a circle over a white background. A swatch of eucalyptus is at the top and a swatch of purple at the bottom.

    Here are the exact complementary shades for a few different shades of eucalyptus:

    Graphic reads "Eucalyptus complements" over a background of a vase of eucalyptus on one half and a vase of dark lilacs on the other half. 4 swatches of eucalyptus paint colors on the left are transformed into their purple complements on the right.

    Purple can be a bit hard to translate into your home with mass appeal, but here are a couple shades that do it well:

    A background of dark green with SW Succulent swatched over top along side Complementary purples autumn orchid and perle Noir.

    Sherwin Williams Autumn Orchid is a subdued smoky purple that is about as neutral as we can get with a mid-toned purple.

    Sherwin Williams Perle Noir is a nice complementary color for most greens. It is a deep charcoal with purple undertones.

    Eucalyptus Green vs Sage Green

    This is a hard one! I find that sage green and eucalyptus green have a lot of overlap, especially when it comes to silver eucalyptus. Both are greens with a hint of blue, and both are often thought of in muted tones.

    Photos comparing Eucalyptus plant to sage plant

    Sage green tends to have a little more yellow than eucalyptus green, which is always blue-green or true green.

    I also think that when people picture sage green, they are more often thinking of pale colors, where half the time eucalyptus can be a mid-green. I hesitate to say that, because both sage green and eucalyptus green can be found in light and dark shades.

    Here is a comparison of more yellow-green versions of both eucalyptus and sage.

    Photos comparing eucalyptus plant to sage plant

    Eucalyptus even when it reaches a grassy green color, still has some blue to it. Whereas sage is still soft and muted, but more yellow.

    I do have a lot of posts about sage and gray greens if you like both (these will open in a new tab, so you don’t lose your place here!):

    The Best Eucalyptus Green Paint Colors

    Here are some of the best eucalyptus green paint colors that I could find:

    Privilege Green SW 6193

    Sherwin Williams Privilege Green is a really nice “true eucalyptus” color. It runs sort of the middle of the road in terms of how dark it is. I find it to be a really restful color.

    Sherwin Williams Fresh Eucalyptus SW 9658

    Fresh Eucalyptus by Sherwin Williams is a really pretty green color with a lot more blue than the other shades I chose.

    It really does read “fresh” to me. I can almost smell this color!

    For anyone who is looking for a sage green color, I think Fresh Eucalyptus reads that way too.

    This color would be perfect in a spa bath!

    Benjamin Moore Parsley Snips 635

    Benjamin Moore has an olivey green called “Eucalyptus Leaf” but an actual eucalyptus color they have called “Parsley Snips.”

    Oh well…Parsley Snips is a great eucalyptus green. I like how it manages to be saturated and soothing at the same time. Although I am not convinced it’s a parsley color, it works perfectly for this color round-up!

    Benjamin Moore Grenadier Pond 698

    I looove the color Grenadier Pond by Benjamin Moore. I don’t know what it is, because it’s not especially different from the other shades here. It’s a soothing mid-toned green with lots of blue undertones.

    I find grenadier pond to be right on the money when comparing to actual eucalyptus.

    Benjamin Moore Grenadier pond and Behr's Eucalyptus Wreath over a background of a kitchen with mid-toned eucalyptus cabinets.

    Behr Eucalyptus Wreath N390-5

    Behr Also has a color named “Eucalyptus Leaf” but it is closer to a robin’s egg blue. Eucalyptus Wreath is a nice mid-green eucalyptus color.

    I find this one to be a touch too yellow for me, but if you want a warmer-toned eucalyptus, than Eucalyptus Wreath could be the one for you!

    This color is squarely in sage territory in my opinion.
    (Nothing wrong with that, I love sage too!)

    Valspar Eucalyptus Leaf CI180

    *Since I first wrote this post, it seems that this color may have discontinued. Lowe’s appears to still sell it in pre-tinted paint. If you want the hex code to get it tinted, I have it noted down as #A2BBA3.

    At first I thought Valspar’s version of Eucalyptus Leaf might be a little bit too minty, but I do love the color in this kitchen, and it’s looking very close to the swatch!

    Valspar’s Eucalyptus Leaf brings us to three colors of the same name! Benjamin Moore also has one, and I mentioned Behr’s earlier as well.

    Here are all the renditions of Eucalyptus Leaf:

    Eucalyptus Leaf paint colors by Benjamin Moore, Valspar, and Behr, all swatched over a background of a eucalyptus plant.

    My opinion:
    Benjamin Moore Eucalyptus Leaf – Olive Green
    Behr Eucalyptus Leaf – Robin’s Egg Blue
    Valspar’s Eucalyptus Leaf? Well, it’s pretty good!

    Benjamin Moore Eucalyptus Colors that Miss the Mark (In My Opinion)

    I wanted to include colors that were specified as “eucalyptus” by each mainstream paint brand, but unfortunately Benjamin Moore’s offerings desperately miss the mark.

    Benjamin Moore colors Eucalyptus - a robins egg blue - and Eucalyptus leaf - an olive brown color.

    Benjamin Moore’s “Eucalyptus” 621 is a bit too bright to be considered a true eucalyptus color, and their color “Eucalyptus Leaf” 2144-20 is quite an olive green that looks nothing like eucalytpus.

    Better luck next time, Ben!

    My Favorite Dark Eucalyptus Colors

    We would be wrong to end after only six classic eucalyptus colors without talking about beautiful, rich, dark eucalyptus.

    These are my favorites. I love a deep green! These dark shades are a great range of sage to emerald, while staying in the eucalyptus family.

    Benjamin Moore Cushing Green HC 125

    Cushing Green by Benjamin Moore almost looks out of place with the rest of the dark eucalyptus greens because it is definitely warmer.

    This is due to being side-by-side with the more blue-greens, I feel.

    On it’s own, Cushing Green still reminds me of of a sprig of eucalyptus.

    Benjamin Moore Gothic Green 637

    It’s not that I want to comment on the name of every color, it’s that Benjamin Moore forces me to.

    I don’t know why this is called Gothic Green. I can’t even hazard a guess. (Actually I have been guessing which is why it’s bothering me.)

    Beautiful color though!

    (and I don’t hate the name, I just don’t understand the reference.)

    Gothic Green is more of a true green, especially compared to the two by Sherwin Williams.

    It has a really great “plant” vibe to me, which is perfect for a eucalyptus green.

    Valspar (Lowes) Billiard Room 5005-6C

    Billiard Room might be my favorite color of the bunch! It’s getting very close to emerald green territory, but it’s still a dark eucalyptus green if we are speaking literally.

    I just have a feeling that Billiard Room is a color that will go with everything!

    I have been really impressed with Valspar lately. I am finding all kinds of great colors by them.

    Behr Vine Leaf N400-7

    I considered not including Vine Leaf because I wasn’t 100% sure that it fit the brief.

    It’s a beautiful plant-y color, but is it too jungle green?

    Ultimately, I decided that if the color could be seen in a real-life eucalyptus plant, then it must be eucalyptus green.

    Plus, Vine Leaf is a really nice color, and I know how everyone likes to have options from Behr! So there you go, justified now, so that you can get eucalyptus green at Home Depot.

    Sherwin Williams Succulent (SW 9650)

    Both of these next two colors are really great dark eucalyptus options by Sherwin Williams.

    Succulent is a more neutral, almost gray green, compared to the other colors that we’ve looked at.

    I actually really like that.

    When I hear “dark eucalyptus” I still picture the muted quality of the lighter eucalyptus greens, and this color really captures it!

    I think Succulent is so versatile. Read more about it here: Don’t Use Sherwin Williams Succulent (Unless You Want to Everyone to Copy You!)

    Sherwin Williams Rocky River SW 6215

    Rocky River could be portrayed as either a dark eucalyptus green or a dark sage green. It is definitely heavier on the blue, but still manages to be green.

    Rocky River would be a bold choice in any room! The LRV for Rocky River is 15, so it’s well on it’s way to black. (0 is black, 100 is white)

    Silver Eucalyptus Paint Color

    From dark to light, now let’s look at some silver eucalyptus colors!

    These are for anyone who pictures that beautiful faded silvery green when they think of eucalyptus.

    graphic reads "Silver eucalyptus paint colors" over six pale eucalyptus green dots. Colors from top left to bottom right are wythe blue, fresh eucalyptus, silver eucalyptus, clothesline fresh, eucalyptus, and sea salt.

    I let Fresh Eucalyptus stay on the list from the main “Eucalyptus Green” list because I think it does double duty.

    Benjamin Moore Wythe Blue HC-143 ADBCB3

    I was just about to comment on the name, but I fell it’s getting out of hand, so I won’t.

    You can see that it isn’t blue right? Okay, just checking.

    Wythe Blue (and really most of the silver eucalyptus colors) can easily be considered sage green in my opinion.

    This is another of my favorites. I can see it being a total chameleon! It’s also light enough to use in your whole home.

    Wythe Blue is kind of the overlooked fraternal twin of the famous Palladian Blue. It’s actually on the same color strip, so maybe it’s the older sister?

    At any rate, Wythe Blue is a nice gentle green that hearkens to a stem of silver eucalyptus.

    Valspar Silver Eucalyptus

    Valspar’s Silver Eucalyptus is almost more of a true eucalyptus, but it treads the line well.

    If you can’t decide between a true eucalyptus or a more muted sagey color, than you will probably love this one!

    Valspar Clothesline Fresh CI14

    I am not someone who has ever really gravitated towards very cool toned light colors, but Clothesline Fresh might just get me there! It is such subtle, complicated, pale blue-green.

    I think it’s a perfect silver eucalyptus for anyone wanting a light color that can act as a neutral.

    It is similar to Benjamin Moore’s October Mist, in that it is versatile enough to use in your whole house.

    Behr Eucalyptus QE-44

    Now for the final two colors!

    Behr Eucalyptus is a pretty perfect silver eucalyptus color. It is still green, with just enough blue.

    I don’t really have anything else to say about it, it’s dead on.

    Sherwin Williams Sea Salt 6204

    Sea Salt is one of my favorite colors. It just goes with anything and everything! It’s a trendy replacement for greige and gray, especially if you aren’t into tan.

    It also happens to be a pretty good silver eucalyptus color! Sea Salt is very close to Valspar Clothesline Fresh. It’s just a little lighter. I did some detective work with the hex codes and that’s the only discernible difference.
