Some people consider green to be a cool color, but there is a full spectrum of green paint colors out there, including warm ones!
I couldn’t be happier that these rich tones are getting a place in our homes after years of gray and blue! Warm colors in general are also trending, like beige, tan, and terracotta.
Here are some warm greens that will have you digging out your paint trays and rollers!

Light Warm Green Paint Colors
Here are a few lighter green paint colors that are on the warmer side:

Benjamin Moore October Mist (1495)
I won’t talk too much here about October Mist, because I have already written a whole article about it.
It was Benjamin Moore’s Color of the Year for 2022!
October Mist is a really nice neutral green color. It’s the perfect color if you are looking for a warm green for your whole home.

Behr Avocado Whip (M360-3)
Avocado Whip by Behr is an interesting color. I love the soft avocado color and how it reads so warm and creamy.

Then there’s reality.
You definitely want to give Avocado Whip a trial run in your home, and test it in different lighting, because I’ve seen it look quite acid green in some rooms.
Acid green is probably not what you were looking for when you started searching for a warm green paint color!

Benjamin Moore Carolina Gull (2138-40)
Carolina Gull by Benjamin Moore manages to be a trendy sage color, while also having warmer yellow tones.
(*record scratching* Well hello there, this awkward… when I wrote this post there wasn’t much available by way of actual photos of Carolina Gull. Since then I have to say that it can look warm, but most often reads cool! The rest of this is true. So pardon the interruption and carry on. Better yet, just read the post about Carolina Gull!)
It’s the best of both when it comes to sage greens.

At first glance it almost looks like a darker version of October Mist, but Carolina Gull is actually much more green, where October Mist has a LOT of yellow.
I like Carolina Gull a lot! Especially because it pairs beautifully with warm whites, terracotta, and rich dark colors.

Medium Warm Green Paint Colors
This is probably my favorite category of warm green paint colors, I love how bold they are, while still being totally liveable.

Benjamin Moore Palace Green (CW-520)
Benjamin Moore Palace Green is a cozy, mellower version of grass green.
While it’s not a classic mid-century modern color, I like to think it goes well with that style, since mcm is all about bringing the outdoors in.
Here is a Palace Green bedroom:
Palace Green is close to a true green, but is ever so slightly on the yellower side of green. This makes the color warmer than other mid-greens or sages.
Here it is in a historical sitting room:
So nice! I like it because even though it is a popular color, it’s not one that everybody is using.

Sherwin Williams Oakmoss (6180)
I am not usually a fan of olive greens (outside of clothing) but Oakmoss is beautiful!
This color ranges in appearance from a saturated deep olive color, to a warm dark green with a slight sage undertone.

Compared to the swatch, Oakmoss isn’t muddy at all, but I find the color chip makes it look a little bit brown toned.

Maybe that’s just me. Here it is swatched against some color inspo:

Amongst the green, it definitely reads more green.
Here is a pretty good example of how the color looks in real life on a front door:

There is no way that I would be brave enough to paint the ceiling too, but kudos to them, it looks so cozy in there!
Benjamin Moore Peale Green (HC-121)
I CANNOT with all the beautiful Peale Green inspo!
Peale Green is another kind of toned down grassy green, but it has an earthy quality that makes the color so warm and rich.

I mean honestly! I will say that Peale Green leans a little sage in that photo, but definitely a warmer sage.
I could really do some damage with a brush and a roller right now.
Peale Green vs Palace Green
Benjamin Moore Peale Green is very similar to Palace Green, but it is darker and has a little less yellow.
Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the two:

Dark Warm Green Paint Colors
And now the moment we’ve all been waiting for: Dark Greens!
I love me a moody, pensive, pondering dark green. Mmmm.
I do have to confess that I cheated a little, but first, a reminder of the colors!

So, how did I cheat?
Two of the three are maybe not technically, well…warm.
Benjamin Moore Vintage Vogue (462)
Let’s start out of turn with the one dark color that truly is warm: Vintage Vogue.

Benjamin Moore hit the nail on the head with this one! It is such a great color, and another true chameleon (which, if you stick around, you will know that I love a shapeshifting color).
Vintage Vogue can look like a warm olivey-sage color, or almost black!
Check it out in this room with different lighting:
This dark green would be perfect for the indecisive among us, it’s like multiple colors in one!
I definitely wouldn’t say it looks as dark as that first photo very often. Here’s a more standard look:

I do actually have a whole post for this one: Benjamin Moore Vintage Vogue in Real Homes (Plus Dupes!)
Benjamin Moore Ocean Tropic (2052-10)
Ocean Tropic is the lightest and brightest of the dark greens, and no, it’s not technically warm.
Hear me out! It’s just so lush and rich.

It reminds me of the jungle, or a tropical place. It certainly doesn’t feel cool to me. Even if it’s not truly warm, an emerald green really had to be here, didn’t it?
Also, if you want to choose the paint less traveled, Ocean Tropic is not super well known. It can be our little secret!
Delicious!
Sherwin Williams Roycroft Bottle Green (2847)
Like some of the other greens on this list, Sherwin Williams Roycroft Bottle Green can also take different forms.

With these dark colors, it’s all about the light!

This is another rich dark green that gives me the warm fuzzies, but technically isn’t warm.
Isn’t it beautiful? I love it on that board and batten wall. The mustard and gold look great with this rich dark green.

This is a picture where you can kind of see the cooler tones.
Roycroft Bottle Green is a great choice if you are looking for a historical color to compliment your vintage style, or your antique home.

Here’s a summary of the warm greens by brand:
