Remember the Great Emerald Kitchen Trend of 2018? We do. And we’re here to report that after a brief hiatus, green kitchens are back—this time not in deep jewel tones but in lighter, brighter shades, from matcha and pistachio to shamrock and candy apple. Have a look at 11 kitchens in a gradient of greens:

Above: On a bolder, brighter note, there’s this: a kitchen made to feel, in part, like a potting shed, with “a fresh snap of Citrine by Little Greene” on the cabinets. Photograph by Belle Daughtry from Kitchen of the Week: A Zesty Combination of Old and New by an Aspiring Interior Designer.

Above: In Plain English’s Pimlico showroom, a bright scullery highlights the company’s new Color Collection No. 5. The inspiration? “The shades you see along the way during a meandering walk in nature—mossy tracks, bosky meadows, high-walled courtyards, gloss painted passages, curtained doorways, and laundry lines,” says creative director Katie Fontana.

Above: And another Plain English design, this one in Nashville, features “a cruciferous green larder,” our contributor Morgan writes. (It’s a color called Sprouts.) Photograph courtesy of Plain English from Kitchen of the Week: English Elegance Meets Southern Charm in Nashville.
