Green Paint

Green Paint

Green Paint - Sustainable & Eco Friendly green paints for walls, ceilings and wood trim. Part of our range of natural paint colours.

Green paints were originally used by the early Egyptians and Greeks, made from natural minerals such as malachite, which is a green mineral which is copper based (you've seen that lovely green colour on church roof sections etc!). The Romans used verdigris, which was a pigment made from exposing copper to vinegar fumes - which produced a green colour but turned a rich brown over time. 

'Scheele's Green' was the first synthetic green pigment in 1775, made from copper and, belive it or not, arsenic, which caused much damage to those who lived in rooms painted with it, not nice. 'Paris Green' in 1814 was a more vivid (also arsenic) green, but also later banned for the same reason. "Emerald green' in the mid 1800s was a safer (but still toxic) alternative to Paris Green. 

With the discovery of chromium oxide and phthalocyanine greens, less-toxic and more durable green paints became available with the development of acrylic and water-based paints. Fast forward to right now, and our ranges of actually non toxic paints provide safer, eco-friendly options.

What undercoat should I use under green paint?

Generally just a white undercoat would be best for then overpainting with green, or if you have a dark green topcoat then a mid grey undercoat would be a better idea, creating a nice even tone for your green paint to roll over. 

How to cover dark green paint on walls?

Covering dark colours are tricky, but generally using a white undercoat first is a great idea. Once you have a smooth even area of light undercoat, and subsequent colours will appear much brighter and more even. 

How to lighten an already painted dark green wall?

Sadly you just need to find the emulsion colour you want the wall to be and use a white undercoat prior, the white undercoat will allow a more even light surface for you to then build your desired colour onto.

What colours go with green walls?

Green walls always look good with off white or neutral colours, furniture and fabrics. White, greys or even warmer earthy tones such as terracotta or muted pink can complement green wall paint. 

Do you need to use a primer with green walls?

It depends on the colour already on the walls, if you have an even coat of something lighter, or white, then generally a primer is not needed. But if you have a dark wall, or bold opposite colour to green then a mid grey undercoat would be desirable for best finish.
