A light take on sage green, this stunning hue was the most popular shade of 2021, according to Google Trends (via Better Homes & Gardens). While it suits plenty of styles, it undeniably looks amazing on these vertical wood panels in a bathroom.
10. Fresh light grass green
Although this green could take on a darker tone if paired with a darker paint color and dark décor, the white wall and white accents keep it a brighter version that's almost a light grass green.

Tone down a dynamic lime green and add in a splash of olive and what do you find yourself with? A light green shade that is just as striking as it is unique.

Another option that initially seems to have cooler hints, you'll start to notice that this is actually a noticeably soft shade. That's because the light green color almost has a creamy tone to it.
13. Light smoky grey
Fall in love with light smoky grey. Match it with white bed linens and a forest green chair and you've put together a room that you'll always be excited to come back to and relax in.

A shade that leans toward "fair green," this fabulous light hue brings a natural touch to a kitchen that perfectly combines a formal aesthetic with minimalist décor. Dark green plants with a single dark green vase help to fully bring out the lighter tone.
