Designer April Tomlin was going for a mercantile feel in this pantry, so she painted the built-in shelving and wood-paneled walls a hazy green to give it an aged yet refined look.

To bring a natural feeling into this New York living room, designer Fawn Galli used a custom minty green. "I don't think a color should be too saturated or strong on a wall," she says.
