2027 Color of the Year: Decorating With Webster Green

A new color can shift the entire feel of a room, and Benjamin Moore’s 2027 Color of the Year offers plenty of inspiration. Introducing Webster Green​​​​​​, a confident mid-tone green that brings classic character to today’s interiors.

Its mix of blue and yellow influences gives the color a composed character without making it feel cool or reserved. From kitchen cabinetry and statement walls to doors and architectural details, Webster Green can take on a different personality depending on the colors, materials, and flooring around it.

Whether you’re planning a complete room refresh or looking for a smaller way to bring more color home, here are a few ways to make Webster Green your own.

Meet Benjamin Moore's Webster Green

As a mid-tone green, Webster Green can define a space while remaining flexible across a range of palettes and design styles, giving you a balance between familiar and fresh.

For a lighter, relaxed look, pair Webster Green with creamy whites and natural wood. Bring in warm browns and deeper finishes for something richer and more collected. Against traditional millwork, the color can emphasize architectural details, while simple furnishings and cleaner lines can take it in a more contemporary direction.

How to Use Webster Green in Your Home

When it comes to incorporating Webster Green into your home, you don’t have to repaint the entire house to explore this shade. Depending on how much color you want to introduce, Webster Green can make an impact across walls, cabinetry, doors, trim, built-ins, and other architectural details.

1. Give Kitchen Cabinets Fresh Character

Kitchen cabinetry is a natural place to put this distinctive green to work. Try Webster Green on an island for a focused pop of color, pair green lower cabinets with lighter uppers, or carry the shade throughout the cabinetry for a more immersive look.

The finishes around it can help set the direction. Warm wood flooring brings out a more classic side of the color, while lighter oak looks and pale stone-inspired surfaces create greater contrast. Brass and bronze finishes can emphasize warmth, while black or nickel can give the palette a cleaner edge.

2. Bring a Collected Look to the Living Room

In the living room, consider Webster Green for built-ins, a fireplace surround, molding, or a feature wall. Then layer in materials such as natural wood, linen, leather, and woven textures to give the room depth without making it feel overly coordinated.

Think about the flooring as part of the palette rather than an afterthought. A lighter floor creates greater contrast with the green, while medium and deeper wood tones can shift the palette in a warmer, richer direction.

3. Add Personality to a Home Office

A home office or study gives you the freedom to experiment with a more distinctive palette. Webster Green can provide a strong backdrop for bookshelves, artwork, wood furniture, and metal finishes.

For more impact, carry the color across the walls and built-ins. If you prefer a lighter touch, incorporate it through cabinetry, trim, or a focal wall and use warm neutrals throughout the rest of the space.

4. Make an Entrance

Sometimes a smaller dose of color is all you need. Try Webster Green on a front door, interior doors, trim, stair details, or entryway built-ins. These applications can draw attention to architectural details without requiring a full-room color commitment.

Pair the green with natural wood flooring for warmth, or create more contrast with a lighter neutral floor.

5. Create a Grounded Bedroom

In a bedroom, Webster Green creates an opportunity to balance saturated color with softer textiles and natural finishes.

Use it behind the bed to create a focal point, introduce it on molding or paneling for dimension, or carry it across the walls for a more enveloping look. Creamy whites, natural linen, warm wood, and muted clay or rosy accents can soften the palette.

Repeating tones from your flooring in furniture or textiles can also help the room feel connected without making everything match.

Find Flooring That Complements Webster Green

Because flooring covers such a large portion of a room, it plays an important role in how Webster Green comes together with the rest of your palette.

Instead of looking for a floor that simply “matches” your paint, think about the kind of contrast, warmth, and overall mood you want to create. Explore our flooring selection for inspiration, then use these three design directions to help narrow down the look you love.

Explore Flooring

Keep It Light and Relaxed

For a brighter, more relaxed direction, consider:

• Light or natural oak looks
• Warm beige carpet
• Soft greige luxury vinyl
• Limestone- or travertine-inspired tile

A lighter foundation creates contrast with Webster Green while allowing the overall palette to remain warm and natural.

Warm It Up

For a warmer, more layered look, consider:

• Honeyed oak
• Medium-brown hardwood
• Wood-look flooring with noticeable grain and variation
• Warm taupe carpet
• Terracotta- or clay-inspired tile

These warmer surfaces can bring another layer of depth to the palette while creating an inviting foundation for furniture, textiles, and decor.

Go Rich and Dramatic

If you prefer stronger contrast and a more tailored look, consider:

• Walnut-inspired flooring
• Deep brown hardwood
• Charcoal or dark stone-inspired tile
• Richly textured carpet
• Deeper wood-look luxury vinyl

Darker flooring gives Webster Green a different character than its lighter counterparts, making it worth comparing several tones before settling on your favorite.

Test Webster Green With Your Flooring and Light

Paint and flooring can look different in a showroom or on a screen than they do in your home, so it’s worth viewing samples together before making a final decision.

Test Webster Green in different areas of the room and look at the color throughout the day. Morning sunlight, afternoon light, lamps, paint finish, furnishings, and surrounding surfaces can all influence how the finished palette comes together.

When you’re choosing new flooring, place samples next to your paint color in the room where they’ll actually be used. Compare a few options and consider whether you want the combination to feel lighter, warmer, richer, or more dramatic.

Taking a little extra time to see your choices together can make the final decision much easier.

Bring Your 2027 Color Vision Home

Webster Green gives you plenty of room to express your personal style, whether you introduce it through kitchen cabinetry, an entryway, a statement wall, or an entire room. With the right flooring underneath it, you can build a palette that feels connected from the ground up.
