COLOUR
Green paintings
Muted green lowers the tension in a room, which is why it is the most common choice for waiting rooms.
Sage, olive and grey-green. No signal green and no emerald. These tones stay close to plant colours and so read as calm rather than as colour.
Why muted and not strong
A saturated green becomes a statement in the room.
Sage stays background. In a practice that is the requirement.
Green on silver leaf
Silver cools green and takes the decorative edge off it.
A wreath of leaves on silver leaf looks matter-of-fact, the same one on white looks illustrative.
Which rooms
Waiting rooms, treatment rooms, bathrooms.
Rooms without windows too, because green tips less there than blue.
In short
Sage and grey-green, 60 to 120 cm, matt.
