Colorways: Moss Appeal











Featured in Metropolitan Home November 2008 issue.

Richly natural shade of green is all the rage in high style interiors..

Designer Advice

“Moss green is a livelier antidote to brown. It’s rich but still fanciful and is beautiful with polished dark woods, peacock blues or red lacquer.”
-Celerie Kemble, designer

“The warmth of this green makes it ideal for use in social areas, such as a dining room.”
-Mary Rice, color expert, Behr

“Since moss green is a color from nature, any other color from nature will complement it.”
-Eve Robinson, interior designer
