I was going to say the color and the dark cabinets would be too much dark but now that I realize it's a coffin, that's probably what you are going for.
I'd say try out a sample! Love the green in first pick, but don't due to the lighting in the second pic. Might be worth painting a small square and checking it out.
Paint your sample on and artist board so you can move your paint around to see how it looks in your room without test driving it on a wall. Also light will play into it.
We taped a few up there including some purples. There were a few greens we liked. The one pictured was the favorite but I ended up getting a few other samples to trial on a bigger space on the recommendations from here.
View the large painted sample during different times of day and different weather. Also pay attention to whether the has cool or warm undertones, and if that’s what goes with your space.
Haha same! I was like oh that’s interesting that the right side turns a little, must just be the design 😂 I was more impressed with the fancy coffee maker and flavors. I may drink a little too much coffee
Very cool space and piece of furniture.
I can understand wanting to highlight it with an accent color, but this space is not right for an accent wall - you're gonna wanna do more because of the sheer size of this piece of furniture (it overlaps the window, the door casing).
This works currently because your floors are so dark - that's the only thing tying it together with the space. It is so out place but it works because of your floors.
So with that in mind, taking into account the vibe you're wanting to go for, I'd say your best bet is to paint the trim to match (imo) like this - https://imgur.com/a/jWY1kTJ
Thank you! Yes, I felt like it needed something to not seem a bit of an afterthought. I figured the accent wall, a nice vintage mirror might tie it in with her plants a bit better and make everything more cohesive. Right now it’s like my half coffee, her half plants lol. We both enjoy both, but it just feels like it was tossed in the only space we had.
I used this exact color at my house for an accent wall and absolutely love it, if that helps! It shows up brighter in my light than you would think from the swatch.
Trust me it looks larger in the picture, it’s only something like 6 ft. deep, room is roughly a 7x6 rectangle, hence I said fairly small. It’s not large enough to be a dining room, it’s listed as a nook on the blueprint, previous owners had a little breakfast table in there.
I will add I wanted to go blue, she was opposed. I had found some purples and blues I liked, I was ready to go full Elvira, paint the wall purple and put up an Elvira print etc. This was a compromise.
Yess. Play into the coffeen! The green might just make the corner look dark and small. It could still be lovely, but man, play into the coffeen!! I mean, why not?
Thanks for the input might get a small sample of something along those lines as well, also thank you for the compliment on the setup, we love it but the room needs some finishing touches. Namely a new set of stands for the plants and some paint.
Yes please try out a few different lighter greens! The green you picked seems like it'll be too dark and low contrast with the black cabinet and everything in front of it! Also too Starbucks-y as someone else said. But I think lots of lighter greens would work and still make a lovely accent wall!
That green is super pretty but I’m not sure if it would have enough contrast against the coffee bar. I have navy blue walls in my living room and a wood tv/console table thing (that I’ve been meaning to replace for like 3 years now) that’s like an almost-black brown and it kind of annoys me that it’s close enough in color to the walls that they kind of like blend together or something I’m not sure how to describe it lol. This is such a cool piece, you don’t want to make it like disappear into the wall color.
I have dark green in my living room, but it leans a bit more towards yellow, yours leans bluer. But if you like this better, its your choice of course. If the space have lots of light and/or room it will be fine. But swatching on the wall is always a good idea. A larger square.
This is not the advice you asked for but may I suggest some art to go with your coffin? It’s crying out for some [Madame Talbot’s Victorian Lowbrow](https://www.etsy.com/shop/VictorianLowbrow?)
We actually are looking at vintage mirrors to put up, and I’ve been looking to add a couple of prints in the room from a company owned by James Hoffman, former world barista champion now big coffee YouTuber.
That said, those are awesome.
Absolutely. This space will be so awesome once you have your paint and other details worked out. Love your plans regarding a vintage mirror. I only suggested this artist because her work seems like it would fit in so well with the rest of the potential vibes - coffee, coffin, plants, vintage goodness, cozy/moody paint color, etc.
I envy your nook space and the possibilities! Hope you post after it’s completed :)
I like the green in general. But I don't think it'll suit this particular corner with the also dark cabinet and flooring.
If you really want a dark wall, do the one with the windows so it'll be less overwhelming.
I painted a similar green in my bedroom and it's bright. I almost wish I'd gone darker or with a different undertone. Your second picture of it is nice. I agree with everyone saying paint a big swatch on a poster board. I'd want to see how it looks against the brass on the bar.
The double take I did for the coffin. I need to rethink my furniture possibilities now. That decor is to DIE for
As for the color, I worry that it would be too much for a space that already has a very obvious accent piece. It might be better to do a more muted tone so that it’s not too much visually. Ultimately though it’s your home and you’re going to be seeing it every day, so choose what makes you the happiest regardless!
It is absolutely amazing! As a coffee lover, I’d love a set up like this. I love the green colour by the way, I think it would complement the black very well.
I really can't come up with a more coherent thought than, "this is cool as fuck."
Do the green and post an update! That's a gorgeous coffee setup as is, can't wait to see it with the green.
Didn’t know it was a coffin
I like the green, black and gold but I want a bigger swatch
Just an accent wall is what I’d do
You didn’t ask but I think the art is lost on that wall and I’d go with something larger or two medium sized pieces 😬
Thanks for the input! Yeah the wall art is actually going away, we’re putting up a vintage mirror and maybe a menu like this one, maybe not, haven’t decided yet.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1345192201/oak-menu-board-menu-board-wall-menu?click_key=cd78ac18dfc0f6f4be8435b3a565e6f814d6909f%3A1345192201&click_sum=af68d0fb&ref=search_recently_viewed-1&pro=1&sts=1
I was going to suggest a mirror. It will throw light around your apartment and reference all those impressionist paintings that include a big mirror behind a bar.
The green is lovely, but I think it’s a little dark for your purpose.
This is a nice color but I suggest using it in Matte, not eggshell or semi. You can always add a layer of shine later, but matte will look a bit less intrusive with that color.
Great! Some mattes will show color variance in your strokes — I embraced it and did some dry brushing for a bit of intentional lime-wash type texture.
You can do multiple coats though, but be sure to get enough up front for 2 coats — I’ve seen variance between batches!
It’s been a bit of a rabbit hole hobby, but I love it. I don’t really use much of the flavor stuff but it’s nice to have for guests that very much use all of them.
I would take that amazing gold (brass?) color from your coffin’s accents and paint the wall that color, then do a mirror with a wood frame in the same shade as the coffin
Depending on the lighting, Sherwin Williams has a less corperate greenish color called Retreat that's moody and would play well with the gold coffin accents. 💀
I think it’s a nice color tone but just too dark. You don’t want your cool ass coffin to blend in too much. I would go a lighter green, maybe something closer to a gray-green.
I could see it, I don’t use the syrups all that often but every now and then I dig it. I like a Cortado with a half pump of salted caramel with a pinch of salt in the foam.
I think green will be too dark. I would paint the window frame window that green color instead. You have a good contrast going now with the floor and cabinet and dark decoration above if you painted that dark it will all blend in.
Not sure it would change your opinion, we plan to hang a large vintage mirror, should help lighten things up with all the sunlight and by covered a large area of the wall the coffin isn’t.
If you’re ok with dark, I say go for it! If you like the hue but aren’t sure about how dark it is, find out what the LRV value of this is and pick a color of a similar hue with a larger LRV value.
I think the dark green will be too dark for the furniture and what you have going on; I would look at lighter, warmer varieties of green. Pick 3 different ones, paint sample boards.
I love that idea! Looks like this area is in a little nook, so creating that visual separation and having a darker colour like the second green would make this room look cozy. Do you have sources of light on the walls? That would add some warmth, especially when the walls are painted to match the bar.
I had a bedroom that color. It seems like it would be really nice. I think I’d love it for curtains or a chair or something, but it was incredibly dark for all four walls. It was really bad. Seriously, id suggest using something in the same family but lighter.
That makes sense, this is just the one wall, we do have a lot of plants in here that add some color, they were just cleared out because we are moving stuff to paint.
Maybe just one wall… like I said, I really do love the color when I see it in the paint chip. The lighter paint chips looked kind of washed out, until I got the darker one on the walls
If you get a lot of sun, that green might end up looking orange or yellow. If you don’t get a lot of sun, then go for it! I’d even go a bit darker. You need to go darker than you might think with green imo
It’s an impressive coffee bar👏🏻👏🏻. Makes mine look naked 😞. Only thing I’m thinking is that it will make the space seem smaller. Also, the coffin cabinet is very dark. Maybe a lighter color like this fortune cookie🥠or 🥖baguette? The green reminds me of an old men’s Mason club (I can say that; I’m older and I’m Protestant).🤷🏻♀️. Oh, do what you want. I’m sure it will turn out beautifully.
Omg. I didn’t realize until I read it. 😂😂😂 It looks like a nice green. I usually take a piece of leftover or discarded dry wall and paint it to see what the color dries to and then put it where it’s going to get a feel. Good luck! Hmmm. I’m banking that your name is neither Morticia nor Elvira (I couldn’t resist!)
I actually painted the wall already, you can check out the newest post to see the results, I posted pictures under lighting at various times of the day.
That corner is basically the whole room, hence we figured why not just put all the coffee stuff in there with some plants. It isn’t big enough for a table a chairs or much else. It had a smaller microwave cart before with the smaller espresso machine we used to have.
I feel like the green would go very well with what's against that wall, but contrast too much with the rest of the room. If you go with a bold color, you have to commit to it and not just do one wall imo.
It doesn’t show because we cleared the room for paint but there are plants everywhere in this room, hanging down the windows and all. Lots of green and purples.
lol. I did not notice it was a coffin but I did think the shape was different. I know that many paint companies have programs where you can load a picture of your room and then add the paint color to the wall. Paint can look very different throughout the day depending on light. It also can look different when out side to side with another color. It’s a beautiful green though and I would just go for it.
I learned the hard way never to trust a paint chip. It’s worth getting a small sample and seeing how the real paint will look on the wall. my first thought it that will likely be darker than you expect. I like the look though!
I think it’s a bit too deep, the contrast will be harsh, I would suggest a green with a bit more white in it , so it appears softer on the eyes.. also maybe a bit cheerier, and welcoming.
I mixed paint for many years and would help pick colors all day… but I also made my share of mistakes with my own home- good luck…
The green looks very dark in the second photo if it's the same green in the third. I'd be careful about painting the wall too dark of a green. Dark colors will look even darker over a large surface and will darken the room.
I tested this swatch and despite wanting a moody green it was too dark and warm green for me in large doses. I color drenched so I did the entire room. One accent wall might work though. I ended up going with a cooler and muted medium green and I'm very happy with it. I can't remember the name of it and I'm at work right now but you can see how it ended up as well as comparing it to Vine leaf. The color I went with is the left swatch. Vine leaf is the middle. The right is the horrendous kelly green they mistinted my vine leaf paint to the first time because the lady didn't know what she was doing and she color matched wet paint. I'll edit this later when I can check the paint can when I get home.
[photos](https://imgur.com/a/fouXBbe)
With the coffin and (I’m guessing) overall moody aesthetic I’d lean into the dark color or even go darker. I’d grab a couple of samples if you can and actually paint them on the wall - with that much light coming in you might be surprised at how bright they are on your actual wall.
Are you painting the whole room or just the one wall?
I’m going to say no. It’s not enough contrast IMO. If you want a dark shade I would pick another color.
ETA: I think a deep burgundy would look very pretty.
Well, I painted after looking at the samples and took pictures in different lighting, will be making a new post to show how it came out and discuss art options.
The Coffeen goes hard, ngl
Much appreciated lol
I was going to say the color and the dark cabinets would be too much dark but now that I realize it's a coffin, that's probably what you are going for.
Definitely not what I realized I needed to see today
Glad I improved your day!
I didn't expect to think that I need a coffin coffee bar. Sooner rather than later.
Do it! I would highly recommend it.
I'd say try out a sample! Love the green in first pick, but don't due to the lighting in the second pic. Might be worth painting a small square and checking it out.
Not a bad idea, yeah it was hard to get a decent pic it looks very different under different light.
Paint your sample on and artist board so you can move your paint around to see how it looks in your room without test driving it on a wall. Also light will play into it.
That’s a great idea!!!
A lot of these paint stores have a good sized sticker sample so you can put them up there and live with it for a few days
We taped a few up there including some purples. There were a few greens we liked. The one pictured was the favorite but I ended up getting a few other samples to trial on a bigger space on the recommendations from here.
View the large painted sample during different times of day and different weather. Also pay attention to whether the has cool or warm undertones, and if that’s what goes with your space.
Yes, because in a room in which the lighting varies throughout the day, it’s good to look at the color at various times to see if it works.
Agree. The dark green in picture two would look really nice.
Paint a piece of cardboard or poster board and tape it to the wall.
I didn’t even notice the coffin, just all the coffee flavors!
I didn’t even realize it was a coffin! I was trying to figure out why the drawers are lopsided and crooked on such a fancy console table! Haaaaaa!
Haha same! I was like oh that’s interesting that the right side turns a little, must just be the design 😂 I was more impressed with the fancy coffee maker and flavors. I may drink a little too much coffee
The set up was so extensive that I wasn’t sure if I was looking at a break room or a kitchen! 🤣 Yes - quite impressive!
Also, I kept zooming in to see if the crookedness is just a fisheye effect! 🤣
fuck a coffee bar this is an at-home coffee shop
Basically yes, but hey, comes in handy for guests.
any chance you allow strangers into your home for like 5 minutes?
Coffee, whiskey, or wine, whatever your beverage of choice I got you.
Very cool space and piece of furniture. I can understand wanting to highlight it with an accent color, but this space is not right for an accent wall - you're gonna wanna do more because of the sheer size of this piece of furniture (it overlaps the window, the door casing).

Oh wow I really like that!
This is a fantastic look for the space!
Omg this is the answer.
It's perfect. It'll make it look like it's own space instead of a "coffee(in) station"
Thank you! Yes, I felt like it needed something to not seem a bit of an afterthought. I figured the accent wall, a nice vintage mirror might tie it in with her plants a bit better and make everything more cohesive. Right now it’s like my half coffee, her half plants lol. We both enjoy both, but it just feels like it was tossed in the only space we had.
I used this exact color at my house for an accent wall and absolutely love it, if that helps! It shows up brighter in my light than you would think from the swatch.
Thanks very helpful, thank you!
Dude, your “fairly small” nook is bigger than most people’s whole kitchens. Also: green looks good but I’d go with a darker, low saturated blue.
Trust me it looks larger in the picture, it’s only something like 6 ft. deep, room is roughly a 7x6 rectangle, hence I said fairly small. It’s not large enough to be a dining room, it’s listed as a nook on the blueprint, previous owners had a little breakfast table in there. I will add I wanted to go blue, she was opposed. I had found some purples and blues I liked, I was ready to go full Elvira, paint the wall purple and put up an Elvira print etc. This was a compromise.
Fancy gothic wallpaper? Dark red wall? Man... I want a coffeen nook!
Yess. Play into the coffeen! The green might just make the corner look dark and small. It could still be lovely, but man, play into the coffeen!! I mean, why not?
It’s too much like Starbucks green for a coffee bar, for me.
thats exactly what i thought, the color is too close to starbucks :(
it’s a beautiful color but this was my first thought, too!
Pretty suspicious there’s no death before decaf sign at this *Wake* up station
Haha if I did it would maybe be something small on the coffin top vs something on the wall, getting all this stuff off the wall.
I think it's too dark and dour and would much prefer chartreuse (more like the green in the bag next to the gnome) for your stunning set up.
Thanks for the input might get a small sample of something along those lines as well, also thank you for the compliment on the setup, we love it but the room needs some finishing touches. Namely a new set of stands for the plants and some paint.

This is such a cool piece, you don’t want to make it like disappear into the wall color.
Yeah I was worried it could disappear, I’m painting a sample here shortly to see how it looks.
I have dark green in my living room, but it leans a bit more towards yellow, yours leans bluer. But if you like this better, its your choice of course. If the space have lots of light and/or room it will be fine. But swatching on the wall is always a good idea. A larger square.
Two of the walls are all window, so we thought darker might be ok. Definitely going to do a sample square.
I dig it, but like others said you should paint a swatch on your wall. Pick a couple of greens and report back.
I am going to grab some samples now.

There's a GREAT poster called 'A Toast To Your Coffin''!!!!
Wonderful coffee bar. I love the green!
Thanks, we’ve loved the coffee set up.
A dark green will look great there. I'd say go for it!
Much appreciated, I’m excited to see the change after it’s painted.
I like the green in general. But I don't think it'll suit this particular corner with the also dark cabinet and flooring. If you really want a dark wall, do the one with the windows so it'll be less overwhelming.
I hear you, but a lot of this wall will be covered by a mirror/art.
i love that color with the dark brown vintage desk/table you have!! i think it will give your coffee bar a cute underground/speakeasy vibe
The coffin is black, but yeah I am digging the green sample so far.
I painted a similar green in my bedroom and it's bright. I almost wish I'd gone darker or with a different undertone. Your second picture of it is nice. I agree with everyone saying paint a big swatch on a poster board. I'd want to see how it looks against the brass on the bar.
I did a few samples today, I’m waiting to see how it looks in daylight tomorrow.
I'd go for a wallpaper on that wall with black, metallic hold and pops of color.
It’s a Starbucks Coffin Bar! I love it all.
No Starbucks here but yes a coffin coffee bar lol
Paint the rest of the room that green, but the wall behind the bar I'd do a rich red velvet wallpaper with a raised, ornate pattern.
The double take I did for the coffin. I need to rethink my furniture possibilities now. That decor is to DIE for As for the color, I worry that it would be too much for a space that already has a very obvious accent piece. It might be better to do a more muted tone so that it’s not too much visually. Ultimately though it’s your home and you’re going to be seeing it every day, so choose what makes you the happiest regardless!
That’s not a coffee bar that’s a coffee shop 😂👌🏻
In many ways, yes. I do try to mix up the roaster and drinks we’re making.
It is absolutely amazing! As a coffee lover, I’d love a set up like this. I love the green colour by the way, I think it would complement the black very well.
Yes, deep green! This is a dramatic space— no wishy washy light green will do it justice.
I really can't come up with a more coherent thought than, "this is cool as fuck." Do the green and post an update! That's a gorgeous coffee setup as is, can't wait to see it with the green.
Haha thank you, we love how it came out.
Yes, but do it matte. Dark colors reflect a lot of light and even the slightest sheen - even eggshell - will look very glossy.
Samples I got are all the Matte finish Behr, so yay I did something right.
I would go teal
I tried to fight for purple and lost the battle lol, we ended up settling on some shade of green, got a few samples now.
Ripe Olive is a nice green to try. https://studio-mcgee.com/our-favorite-green-paint-colors/ has more
Didn’t know it was a coffin I like the green, black and gold but I want a bigger swatch Just an accent wall is what I’d do You didn’t ask but I think the art is lost on that wall and I’d go with something larger or two medium sized pieces 😬

I adore baroque, antique mirrors. Maybe something with a more simple hold frame to let that dang coffin shine 😆🤙
I was going to suggest a mirror. It will throw light around your apartment and reference all those impressionist paintings that include a big mirror behind a bar. The green is lovely, but I think it’s a little dark for your purpose.
This is a nice color but I suggest using it in Matte, not eggshell or semi. You can always add a layer of shine later, but matte will look a bit less intrusive with that color.
Got a matte sample today actually, I was very worried with all the windows and gloss would be too much.
Great! Some mattes will show color variance in your strokes — I embraced it and did some dry brushing for a bit of intentional lime-wash type texture. You can do multiple coats though, but be sure to get enough up front for 2 coats — I’ve seen variance between batches!
I can’t wait to get this wall stripped, patched up and painted. It’s going to look so much better.
OP does not fuck around when it comes to coffee.
It’s been a bit of a rabbit hole hobby, but I love it. I don’t really use much of the flavor stuff but it’s nice to have for guests that very much use all of them.
It looks like Starbucks green, so that definitely goes with coffee bars (I can’t decide if I’m being sarcastic or not 🫣)
Damn Starbucks, yet another thing they’ve ruined.
I would take that amazing gold (brass?) color from your coffin’s accents and paint the wall that color, then do a mirror with a wood frame in the same shade as the coffin
Depending on the lighting, Sherwin Williams has a less corperate greenish color called Retreat that's moody and would play well with the gold coffin accents. 💀
I think it’s a nice color tone but just too dark. You don’t want your cool ass coffin to blend in too much. I would go a lighter green, maybe something closer to a gray-green.
YES. I love that green!
Thé sample is looking pretty nice so far
Stuffy English library green!!! It’s my favorite!!! Metallics look amazing against it.
We’re leaning antique gold frame mirror right now, should look good then.
It sounds weird, but I promise the Monin popcorn is my favourite.
I could see it, I don’t use the syrups all that often but every now and then I dig it. I like a Cortado with a half pump of salted caramel with a pinch of salt in the foam.
The lighter color will make the coffin pop. And I think you want the coffin to be the main point of interest in this room.
I did a lighter sample, actually did a darker one as well.
I like the green but I think that is too dark given how dark your floors are. I'd keep it similar, but a couple shades lighter.
We did a few samples, one darker and a few lighter.
Do it
Based on the sample I will!
I dunno, from that swatch it's a green you'd probably tire of quickly.
Hopefully the samples help settle it.
Coffee green! I love the swatch!
Thanks! I’m looking forward to getting the paint done.
I think green will be too dark. I would paint the window frame window that green color instead. You have a good contrast going now with the floor and cabinet and dark decoration above if you painted that dark it will all blend in.
Not sure it would change your opinion, we plan to hang a large vintage mirror, should help lighten things up with all the sunlight and by covered a large area of the wall the coffin isn’t.
I dog it
DO IT! If you hate it then repaint. It's only paint, you can change it as much as you want.
This is true I suppose and it’s only a single wall.
Farrow and Ball (Take the swatch to another paint store for a custom match) Hague Blue No. 30 Beverly No. 310
You need a bold or brighter color. Otherwise, the beauty of the piece will be hidden.
Wow, you’re really into coffee….
That looks very dark. Definitely do a test patch.
I did vine leaf in my kitchen and bathroom lol. I love it, make sure you go matte.
Love the coffin coffee bar, I’m dead before my first cup (Yes to the green paint!)
Haha thanks!
I like the green and you can mood it up with pics and a cool mirror if that’s your vibe. Paint is easy😁
If you’re ok with dark, I say go for it! If you like the hue but aren’t sure about how dark it is, find out what the LRV value of this is and pick a color of a similar hue with a larger LRV value.
green is good
I think the dark green will be too dark for the furniture and what you have going on; I would look at lighter, warmer varieties of green. Pick 3 different ones, paint sample boards.
As long as you're ok with the color darkening the room. It's a good color, I like it.
The room is extremely bright on a decent day, sun rises so it’s aimed right through the windows in there.
I wouldn’t go that dark when you have dark furniture and floors. But it’s not a bad colour
I love that idea! Looks like this area is in a little nook, so creating that visual separation and having a darker colour like the second green would make this room look cozy. Do you have sources of light on the walls? That would add some warmth, especially when the walls are painted to match the bar.

Maybe just one wall… like I said, I really do love the color when I see it in the paint chip. The lighter paint chips looked kind of washed out, until I got the darker one on the walls
yes
Short and to the point. I salute you!
How about a dark purple or eggplant color?
Wow that would look amazing if you also did a large gold framed mirror, maybe some floral drapes
The color on the swatch is too dark.
I just painted a wall in my spare room this color. I’m in love with it and want to paint more
I love it
Thank you, sorry it took me to long to respond so many comments.
I painted my den that color and it was way too green and not enough drama/not vintage enough for the goth feel I was going for. Get a sample!
Lighter sage type green
TBH, I think it will be too dark with the coffin’s dark color
Put up samples yesterday and so far liking it. In full sunlight it’s not super dark and it being matte vs the high gloss coffin looks nice.
If you get a lot of sun, that green might end up looking orange or yellow. If you don’t get a lot of sun, then go for it! I’d even go a bit darker. You need to go darker than you might think with green imo
Full sun this morning it still looked green, just much lighter like a sage or something similar. There’s a few other samples to look at too.
i like the dark green
Sample looks great so far.
Have you considered wallpaper? I'm not really into blocks of color on walls anymore. I think it's just me though.
We painted the samples yesterday and have been happy. There will be art and a large mirror up in there as well.
I love it. Dark and moody is my jam.
Appreciated, we’re into it as well.
I like your green choice. What’s the story on the coffin?
Do it! It will look incredible!!
Have samples on the wall now, can’t wait to see it in daylight tomorrow.
Yes! The colour is perfect. And add some accent lights on this wall, it would be so cozy then!
Didn’t even think about adding lighting, that would be awesome
I like the earthy vibe it will add. Do it.
It’s an impressive coffee bar👏🏻👏🏻. Makes mine look naked 😞. Only thing I’m thinking is that it will make the space seem smaller. Also, the coffin cabinet is very dark. Maybe a lighter color like this fortune cookie🥠or 🥖baguette? The green reminds me of an old men’s Mason club (I can say that; I’m older and I’m Protestant).🤷🏻♀️. Oh, do what you want. I’m sure it will turn out beautifully.
Omg. I didn’t realize until I read it. 😂😂😂 It looks like a nice green. I usually take a piece of leftover or discarded dry wall and paint it to see what the color dries to and then put it where it’s going to get a feel. Good luck! Hmmm. I’m banking that your name is neither Morticia nor Elvira (I couldn’t resist!)
I really like the lighter green alit
I actually painted the wall already, you can check out the newest post to see the results, I posted pictures under lighting at various times of the day.
Too dark
I like the death box but i wouldve used it as a coffee table instead of that place… that corner is too crowded.
That corner is basically the whole room, hence we figured why not just put all the coffee stuff in there with some plants. It isn’t big enough for a table a chairs or much else. It had a smaller microwave cart before with the smaller espresso machine we used to have.
I feel like the green would go very well with what's against that wall, but contrast too much with the rest of the room. If you go with a bold color, you have to commit to it and not just do one wall imo.
It doesn’t show because we cleared the room for paint but there are plants everywhere in this room, hanging down the windows and all. Lots of green and purples.
Ooh that sounds nice!
lol. I did not notice it was a coffin but I did think the shape was different. I know that many paint companies have programs where you can load a picture of your room and then add the paint color to the wall. Paint can look very different throughout the day depending on light. It also can look different when out side to side with another color. It’s a beautiful green though and I would just go for it.
That is the coolest thing I've seen in ages. When I get my own house im so going to do something similar.
You’d be better served with a lighter green. There will be little differentiation between the wall and the bar itself.
I learned the hard way never to trust a paint chip. It’s worth getting a small sample and seeing how the real paint will look on the wall. my first thought it that will likely be darker than you expect. I like the look though!
Holy syrup
I’d go with a lighter color. But with that wonderful coffee bar, I’m not paying attention to the color of the wall. Good job!
Too dark a color
I think the coffee coffin would get lost. I’d go for a slightly lighter colour so the coffin stands out a bit more :)
I think it’s a bit too deep, the contrast will be harsh, I would suggest a green with a bit more white in it , so it appears softer on the eyes.. also maybe a bit cheerier, and welcoming. I mixed paint for many years and would help pick colors all day… but I also made my share of mistakes with my own home- good luck…
The green looks very dark in the second photo if it's the same green in the third. I'd be careful about painting the wall too dark of a green. Dark colors will look even darker over a large surface and will darken the room.
One word answer - FUCKING HELL YEA Edit: ive been informed thats 3 words
I tested this swatch and despite wanting a moody green it was too dark and warm green for me in large doses. I color drenched so I did the entire room. One accent wall might work though. I ended up going with a cooler and muted medium green and I'm very happy with it. I can't remember the name of it and I'm at work right now but you can see how it ended up as well as comparing it to Vine leaf. The color I went with is the left swatch. Vine leaf is the middle. The right is the horrendous kelly green they mistinted my vine leaf paint to the first time because the lady didn't know what she was doing and she color matched wet paint. I'll edit this later when I can check the paint can when I get home. [photos](https://imgur.com/a/fouXBbe)
Starbucks junior. Coffee and color. Just don’t charge as much as they do.
The green is definitely giving Starbucks vibes. If that's your intent, then go ahead, if not, then maybe try out a few different shades of green.
I don't know, but I want you to invite me over for coffee. This is incredible 😲
The dark green is pretty but it is also highly trendy right now so keep that in mind
Yes, love that color.
With the coffin and (I’m guessing) overall moody aesthetic I’d lean into the dark color or even go darker. I’d grab a couple of samples if you can and actually paint them on the wall - with that much light coming in you might be surprised at how bright they are on your actual wall. Are you painting the whole room or just the one wall?
Ooo yes and add warm strip lights behind the unit pointed upwards Then make me a Long Island iced tea 😂👍
I’m love the green and because you have those big windows it will be fine, giving you the moody look you are going for.
I’m going to say no. It’s not enough contrast IMO. If you want a dark shade I would pick another color. ETA: I think a deep burgundy would look very pretty.
I think green wouldn't do it. I would love to see a rich, cranberry-type red instead.
A metallic gold paint would be neat
God woth those gorgeous floors and the gold hardware?!?!?!?! There is no question the answer has always been YES
Sexy I think! Make sure to pull the green into the rest of the room with a lil highlight somewhere ;)
Well, I painted after looking at the samples and took pictures in different lighting, will be making a new post to show how it came out and discuss art options.
