Loving the combination of this color green with the glossy wood countertop

It such a light green that it looks beige. For me I want more color.

@Imaoldhippie Yes. I was a little disappointed this picture posted more "beige" on here than the original picture I saw. It was more light/bright yellow green to me.

When I saw green in the title, I thought it was going to be garish. Not at all. Very subdued and nice. I like it.

Lol...my mind immediately went to the "Avocado" that was the buzz word for decor in the 70's, that my mom loved and thought was so stylish. My parents even painted the outside of the house that light sage, with black shutters; it definitely was the "thing!"

And then how dated it looked a decade later (not the outside of the house, but any indoor kitchen stuff in avocado did.)

This pic is pretty. But I'd never do it...I love neutral soft, classic ivories and whites in paint. But for people that love to use color, and don't mind changing it up from time to time, I can see them doing this.

Good morning @jubilant

This photo is showing more as an ivory color on my screen. As for the green, for me, it may be nice in the beginning but long-term? I'm not so sure I'd care for it & also depends on the shade.

Thanks for posting this.

If I had a vintage kitchen as shown I would definitely consider painting the cabinets that shade of green- it's an unexpected neutral.

I love the light green colors. So cheerful. My front door is the color edamame.

I think color in general is coming back into kitchens.

Very pretty, @jubilant ! For me, green never left. When we refreshed the kitchen a couple of years ago, we painted the walls a soft green (B. Moore's historic "Van Alen Green") and the cabinets a very pale, greige neutral (B. Moore's "Baby Fawn"-- it's virtually identical to their "Edgecomb Gray").

The kitchen seems so much lighter than it did before, and we've never tired of the fresh colors, especially in the dead of winter when it's all 'blah' outside!

I so admire the pretty soft green on the cabinets. Would love to consider that for my kitchen walls, but I'm at the point where I'm considering listing this place and there are so many people with a block when it comes to green that I doubt I will. I hate to go with a basic white, and won't if I think I'll stay a bit longer, but will have to consider it for resale purposes. I'd leave it as it is, but while I happen to love my orange kitchen, I don't think too many others will.

just lovely--am a green girl. that color is very soothing and would go with other neutrals

I like it; my bedroom is a lighter color than this.

I've seen green used in kitchens for the past few years now on most of the rehab shows that I watch. This is too pastel for me and I'm not a lover of green anyway. Growing up, green was my mom's favorite color so practically everything in the house was green. I think she helped seal the fate for my dislike of green.

I dont like bright lime or neon greens, but I DO like this soft green color, it goes with the style of the kitchen, I really LIKE this kitchen!!!....And its so much different and BETTER than the old avacado and gold 70's style .....

I love green, but would use a pure vibrant shade with light and dark contrasts:

Such a soft and pretty color! I love it!

LOVE this one, scaled back. I prefer blue based colors.

@Oznell I looked up your colors and really liked them both. Similar to my colors. Yours are softer and I like that!

My kitchen cabinets are Monroe Bisque and the walls are Georgian Green. I went a mid color green because not much wall shows in my kitchen. It's only 9'x14'. A little step saver at one end and an antique hutch on the only big wall at the other end. More green wall showed when I had a table where the hutch is now but I needed a place for my rooster collection and more cabinet and drawer storage. Also, we prefer to eat in the dining room end of our great room because it overlooks a woods. I love to hear about other posters homes!

Oh, I love that combo of Monroe Bisque and Georgian Green, @jubilant . Your kitchen sounds just beautiful, every detail! I saw a kitchen once online I think, that had Georgian Green and it was stunning.

Thanks for describing it, I also LOVE hearing what other people do in their rooms, as you know....
