Every color here is mixed to order. Nothing sits premixed on a shelf in a green bin; a tinting machine adds colorant to a base right when you buy it, so you can get any of these greens in the sheen and product line you need. That means the color you pick is a real, buyable product, not just inspiration.
Where you buy depends on the line. Glidden and PPG Timeless are sold at The Home Depot, while PPG Paints and Pittsburgh Paints & Stains go through company stores and independent dealers. If you want to match one of these greens in a different brand, almost any paint store can read the color and tint a close match into their own base. The same works in reverse, including matching to the featured Kompozit deck, since stores match by the color you bring in rather than the label on the can.
Light to Dark
The whole PPG / Glidden green range by depth. LRV is the number to trust — the same green looks two steps darker on a wall than on a chip.
LRV is the light reflectance value, from 0 (black) to 100 (white). It tells you roughly how light or dark a color will feel once it's on the wall. The greens in this slice span LRV 8 at the darkest to 80 at the lightest, which is nearly the full range.
For a bright, open room, stay high: Mellow Mint at 80 or Almost Aloe at 70 keep a space feeling light. For something with more presence, drop into the middle with Dancing Kite (58) or Mojo (50). For a saturated, cozy result, go low with Wistful Walk (23) or Salal Leaves (19). Always test a sample on your own wall, since the same color shifts a lot between bright and dim rooms.
The Green Match-Ups Everyone Googles
Stuck between two? These head-to-heads settle the ones people actually can't pick between.
PPG / Glidden Greens by Room
Each room page shows green picks from every US brand side by side — PPG / Glidden included — so you can compare in context.
Light greens work well almost anywhere you want calm without going stark white. Mellow Mint and Almost Aloe suit bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens where you want a fresh, easy feeling. Mid-tones like Dancing Kite and Pear Cactus are good in living rooms and dining rooms that get decent daylight.
The deep greens are where you make a statement. Beanstalk (31), Wistful Walk (23), and Salal Leaves (19) are strong picks for an accent wall, a study, a powder room, or kitchen cabinets and built-ins. They feel richest in rooms with good light or warm artificial lighting, since very dark greens can flatten out in a dim space.

The Character of PPG and Glidden Greens
PPG and Glidden share one of the largest paint libraries in the US, and the green family runs 163 colors deep. That range covers soft mints, gray-leaning sages, warm olives, and deep forest tones, so you can go fresh and airy or quiet and grounded without leaving the brand.
The undertones split into two broad camps. Lighter greens like Mellow Mint (1221-3) and Almost Aloe (1224-5) lean clean and cool, while mid and deep greens like Mojo (1220-7), Pear Cactus (1130-5), and Salal Leaves (1137-6) pick up more yellow or gray and read warmer and more natural on the wall.
Pairing With Trim, Ceiling, and Coordinating Colors
Most of these greens pair cleanly with a soft warm white on trim and ceilings, which keeps the green looking intentional rather than accidental. A crisp white sharpens cool mints; a creamier white softens olive and sage tones. Keep the ceiling lighter than the walls in deep-green rooms so the space doesn't close in.
For coordinating colors, lean on warm neutrals, natural wood, and muted earth tones. A light green like Almost Aloe pairs with greige and tan; a deep green like Salal Leaves looks good with charcoal, brass, and warm taupe. Pulling a lighter and a darker green from this same slice also makes an easy, low-risk palette.
The Questions Everyone Asks

Ivy League (PPG1228-7) — The deep green PPG promotes opposite Pewter Green. round out the short list most people choose from.
How many green paint colors does PPG / Glidden have?
This slice of the deck has 163 colors in the green family, spanning PPG Paints and Glidden Premium. They run from light mints to deep forest greens, so you can stay airy or go bold without leaving the brand.
What is the lightest and darkest green in this range?
The lightest is Mellow Mint (1221-3) at LRV 80, which keeps a room feeling bright. The darkest in this slice sits around LRV 8, with rich options like Salal Leaves (1137-6) at LRV 19 for a deep, cozy look.
Which green should I pick for a small or dark room?
Stay on the lighter end so the space feels open. Mellow Mint (LRV 80) or Almost Aloe (LRV 70) reflect more light and won't make a small room feel tighter. Save the deep greens for rooms with good daylight or warm lighting.
What trim color goes with these greens?
A soft white works with almost all of them. Use a crisp white to sharpen cool mints and a creamier white to flatter warmer sage and olive tones. Keep ceilings lighter than the walls in deep-green rooms.
Are these greens premixed or made to order?
They're mixed to order. A tinting machine adds colorant to a base when you buy, so any green here is available in your chosen sheen and product line. The color you pick is a real product you can buy and use.
Can I match a PPG or Glidden green in another brand?
Yes. Most paint stores can read the color and tint a close match into their own base, and the same works in reverse, including matching to the featured Kompozit deck. Stores match by the color itself, not the brand name on the can.
