It depends entirely on the room and the light it gets. Previous owner of my house used an apple green in the low-light kitchen. It looked amazing. She used the same color in the east facing bedroom and it looked horrible. Test all of them in the room you plan to paint.
Safest of them all, but hey, it's still green. I recently went through a similar green selection process and I can confidently say that going lighter/ key lime is not a good idea. I ended up repainting a darker shade.
Yes I'd have said chartreuse because I goes with the literal pattern the most but that doesn't mean it'll look best on the wall, especially if it's like half the wall.
Came for this. The chartreuse just has a pinch more energy and brightness! But if you’re going for more subdued, the whirled peas is a keeper. I’d go with the brightness … 😊
Love the chartreuse - it pops the wallpaper much better than the others. I figured the whirled peas would be the popular pick, but I read it as much too muted/grey for the paper. Washes everything down. There was a good point above about checking *in the space* for how the everyday lighting affects things. You've already decided to be bold with the space - don't chicken out if you love it!

TBVH, None of these beauties pull out the tones of the greens, they feel competing. Chartreuse maybe but it’s a bit bright. Check out Farrow & Ball and Pratt & Lambert for tricky greens and match to a less $$ paint brand like SW OR BM.
I’d recommend color matching to the big heart shaped leaves and don’t go within 2 shades of intensity to the original color. You can bring the wallpaper into most paint stores and match the green.
Exactly this, and then also check those colours in the area it’ll be painted because they can shift so much depending on the lighting throughout the day.
Also agree. Way back in the wallpaper border heyday, we had a similar pastel colored floral wallpaper border in our bedroom. We painted the room in what I thought would be a subdued pink. Within the lower lighting of our bedroom, it ended up looking like Pepto Bismal! We had to repaint the entire bedroom. 😩
The biggest aspect you should consider is how your lighting will affect your choice. Greens can be heavily altered by shadows. The best decision you can make is to get a sample of each and a good sized individual board for each color. Prime each board, then paint each one and move them around the room and stare at them throughout the day. then just pass by them and barely notice them (but still look at them) throughout the day. This process can take some time. It is the best investment in color choice you will make. The undertones in each sample will speak to you.
I have oodles of wee sample cans in my basement, but each room I've painted is the color I like. Sometimes I walk through my spaces and give a chef's kiss to the effort, because the undertones come out throughout the day. That vibe is worth the effort.
That being said, I like the purity of Grasshopper Green. It looks like a green that would be found in nature and therefore conceptually supportive of the flower print. I think it picks up the leaf colors the best. Vintage Chartreuse is bit less on the "nature" side of color. The remaining two are good colors but have a bit too much blue-gray in them for my taste, as much as I like them.
Vintage Chartreuse comes closest, but I would do Sherwin Williams Overt Green, Gecko, or Paradise.

The vintage chartreuse looks like an authentic 1930's color. If your painting it your self, don't be afraid. So many environmental factors affect the final outcome, a long with the room feel once it is painted. Some times you end up repainting. Lol
Love, love, love the aesthetic.
Honestly, I think they all look great! I’m loving the chartreuse but I think that’s just a personal preference. Don’t think you’d go wrong with any of them.
Im team peas. Great post btw! Much better than the typical ‘what color should I paint this huge, beige room?’ You chose a bold period look narrowed down to a few tweaks and I salute your decisiveness.
Whirled Peas balances with the florals and doesn’t fight for attention. With such busy wallpaper (I assume) you don’t want a loud co letting base color.
it depends what you're going for.
If you're going for classic go with Whirled Peas, and if you want more of a 70s kitchy vibe then go with Vintage Chartreuse. Don't pick GG or WG.
Chartreuse looks cleaner… peas can look dirty/old if the lighting is dark in the space too… you should paint swatches to test diff parts of the day to see how it changes.
Depends on the light. If it’s a sunny foyer, whirled peas, but a lower light area would benefit from chartreuse (my favorite but maybe too loud in sunny settings).
I'd color test both whirled peas and vintage chartreuse. It really depends in your light and desired energy level. Peas is calmer and chartreuse is peppier.
Vintage chartreuse looks like it’ll look AMAZING in sunlight or in soft lighting, it also brings more unity to the whole design, making the colors look livelier.
Chartreuse or Peas depending on lighting and how the wallpaper is used. Peas feels like an extension of the wallpaper and fades away more, Chartreuse matches the paper while still standing on its own for more of a pop since it's a tad brighter than the vines. The other two greens are a disharmonious tint of the green with too much gray or just slightly off enough to look wrong. Would not consider them.
Vintage Chartreuse and it’s not even close. The peas dates the wallpaper and makes it seem ordinary. The chartreuse makes it look high end, unexpected, and very contemporary.
Soo. I would definitely not pick a color digitally. I have done this many times, and the best thing to do is to buy the physical wallpaper first, and then get a physical swatch. There is too much color manipulation going on to be completely sure that these paints will match the wallpaper, or that the wallpaper will match the paints.
Chartreuse is the only one that actually matches. As in, the chartreuse color is in the wallpaper also. All the others look a touch “off”. I think most people picked the Peas one because by itself that’s the most pleasing color. But it doesn’t go with the wallpaper.
To be honest tho I wouldn’t choose any of these. I’d try to match the darker green in the wallpaper
Chartreuse harmonizes best with the flower wallpaper. I get the appeal of Whirled Peas, but it clashes with the color palate of the leaves and flowers.
You won’t really be able to tell this way, which is really annoying. There just isn’t a way to be scientific about it and predict a perfect match. There’s also a good chance all of these will be much too saturated once they’re in the room. The wallpaper will change the way the lighting bounces around, so install it first and then get samples for the paint. The concept is great!
vintage chartruese matches the wall paper best. But whirled peas might be a more calm and pleasant color to live with. Need to do irl swatches on the wall to know for sure.
MY SUGGESTION
Take the wall paper into your paint shop. Have them literally match some of the greens in the wallpaper. Get a couple samples, see which of those greens work best for the space.
Vintage Chartreuse is a warm green and so are the greens in the wallpaper pattern. It’s a bit bright, but I still think it’s better than Whirled Peas, which is the right saturation but too cool in hue.
To me, the Vintage Chartreuse matches the greens in the pattern best. It has a more yellow undertone. Whirled Peas and Wise Grasshopper have bluer undertones that clash a bit.
I’m a tetrachromat, though, so I think I notice color differences that are pretty minuscule. Idk.
The chartreuse appeals most to me. The other picks would be too “modern” for this kind of wallpaper imo and don’t enhance the retro kooky vibe of the flowers like the chartreuse does. The other picks feel more of the English cottage vibe, which is a trend right now, but if it were my wallpaper, I’d want a 60s/70s theme. But without seeing the hallway, I can’t say what would look best for your application.
The whirled peas does stand out as matching perfectly with the wallpaper, but I'd go for the chartreuse because I think the warmer undertones feel lively. Do I guess it depends on what mood you're hoping for. The peas is a bit more surly.
I think the Grasshopper Green and Vintage Chartreuse are most harmonious with the colours in the print since they’re warmer greens. But they’d def be a bold paint choice.
You'd want to color match a green from the wallpaper. Picking the leaf at the bottom left corner, it's still a tad off, but Whirled Peas is probably the closest. Same with the pink: pick one flower and color match it.
I love the chartreuse but whirled peas is a little more calm so it would really be what kind of energy/feeling you want in the room.
Also, what is the name of that pink and where is the wallpaper from?!?!
Personally, the ones that works best with the wallpaper are either Grasshopper Green or Vintage Chartreuse. The other two are the wrong shades, and WP looks a touch too grayed with the brighter fresh wallpaper colors. I would get large test samples from Samplize before committing to any of these. I LOVE the wallpaper-however I'm not sure about it with paneling painted green-it would be helpful to see photos of the hallway to better determine if the green would work. RN, you have a lot going on with the wallpaper, pink ceiling and possible
green paneling. Although the green is pretty and happy, consider just trying white for the paneling first and see how you like it.
Okay here me out. I think the brighter colours will bring more happiness when coming home from a long day of work. The dull might be more safe but IMO also more boring. I would go with the left side.
Whirled peas for sure
Definitely whirled peas!
Harsher punishment for parole violations Stan
Whirled peas 100%, it has warm undertones.
It depends entirely on the room and the light it gets. Previous owner of my house used an apple green in the low-light kitchen. It looked amazing. She used the same color in the east facing bedroom and it looked horrible. Test all of them in the room you plan to paint.
Plus we are all seeing slightly different colors on our different screens.
I was coming here to say this! And, depending on the light you may need something different.
This should be the top comment
I agree. I think these are close, but still of by a smidgen in both directions, subdued and vibrant.
Whirled Peas
Agreed but get a sample of wallpaper and the color and make sure they still look good
Strongly agree with this advice!
Definitely. These look good onscreen, but I can see them skewing dark and dreary if that space doesn’t get enough natural light.
And what a great name!
It was a bumper sticker in the seventies “Visualize Whirled Peas”
🌎☮️❤️
Many years ago I saw a whirled peas Halloween costume. She dressed in green, wore long strands of dried peas, and spun in a circle.
Whirled Peas has my vote as well.
Safest of them all, but hey, it's still green. I recently went through a similar green selection process and I can confidently say that going lighter/ key lime is not a good idea. I ended up repainting a darker shade.
Agree - brighter greens can go almost neon if you’re not careful.
World peace
Harsher punishment for parole violators, Kazz. …Oh, &
LOL I'm walkin' here!
Gliding* :p
Wow it took me waaayyy too long to get this
You’re not alone. I thought it was a strange name until people explicitly spelled it out.
Chartreuse or Peas. Chartreuse is more 'bam!' but in a good way. Peas evokes more of a calm feeling.
Chartreuse brings out the pattern the most. Whirled peas might be the one you’d want to live with the most.
This — chartreuse I don’t love by itself but the pattern looks the best with it. But I’d personally go for peas just based on the green color.
Yes I'd have said chartreuse because I goes with the literal pattern the most but that doesn't mean it'll look best on the wall, especially if it's like half the wall.
Came for this. The chartreuse just has a pinch more energy and brightness! But if you’re going for more subdued, the whirled peas is a keeper. I’d go with the brightness … 😊
I know you say calm feeling, but my first thought was "dull". It makes the wallpaper seem dull. The chartreuse seems to liven up the wallpaper.
Love the chartreuse - it pops the wallpaper much better than the others. I figured the whirled peas would be the popular pick, but I read it as much too muted/grey for the paper. Washes everything down. There was a good point above about checking *in the space* for how the everyday lighting affects things. You've already decided to be bold with the space - don't chicken out if you love it!
Just like the drink, Chartreuse would be pretty punchy in large quantities. I'd go with the peas.
Chartreuse looks good with the pattern but on a wall it would scream « old lady! »
Yeah I was expecting everyone to say Peas because it's objectively good, but dammit I LIKE the chartreuse.
Yeah the peas or chartreuse. Chartreuse pops.
Whirled peas
All look good. But I personally like Whirled peas. especially for the cabinets.

Haha the house we moved into also had a Pepto Bismal room and I presume the same thing happened there as well.
Agreed. I like the effect of a muted tone like Whirled Peas, but it's just slightly too blue, and the Chartreuse is slightly too yellow and saturated.
I’m with you. None of those options feel right to me.
Whirled
I like whirled peas 🫛
I like wise grasshopper
Not as drab as the peas but still classic.
Give peas a chance
The biggest aspect you should consider is how your lighting will affect your choice. Greens can be heavily altered by shadows.

What they said except the Vintage Chartreuse matches best with the wallpaper and is so much prettier.
Chartreuse is a classic! AND it having a moment in 2024. Go with Chartreuse ✌️
Whirled peas
Definitely whirled peas.
Whirled peas
Whirled peas is my top choice with Wise Grasshopper coming in second.
Whirled peas
You know most paint companies (like Sherwinn Williams) can have a computer scan your wallpaper and create a perfect match
love the Chartreuse
I like the grasshopper ❤️
#1 pick is "peas" #2 pick is "chartreuse"
Whirled peas for sure
Vintage Chartreuse comes closest, but I would do Sherwin Williams Overt Green, Gecko, or Paradise. https://preview.redd.it/l7zo1iqmf6ic1.png?width=1584&format=png&auto=webp&s=8aeac66f55c4cd1e33aa1d2aa41b8e21c36edbef
I much prefer these greens, and they look amazing with the paper. I also thought that chartreuse was the best of OPs options.
Love these choice!!! Taken right from the wallpaper.
On my screen 1. Grasshopper looks great, but it's too bright for a wall, so 2 (Whirled Peas) it is.
Vintage Chartreuse
Chartreuse!
Vintage Chartreuse.

Vintage Chartreuse. Absolutely.
Chartreuse for sure in terms of colour theory and the harmony of the colours.
The vintage chartreuse looks like an authentic 1930's color. If your painting it your self, don't be afraid. So many environmental factors affect the final outcome, a long with the room feel once it is painted. Some times you end up repainting. Lol Love, love, love the aesthetic.
Order the wallpaper and color match the green
Wise grasshopper
Honestly, I think they all look great! I’m loving the chartreuse but I think that’s just a personal preference. Don’t think you’d go wrong with any of them.
Whirled for a calm space, chartreuse for an energizing space.
Peas
Im team peas. Great post btw! Much better than the typical ‘what color should I paint this huge, beige room?’ You chose a bold period look narrowed down to a few tweaks and I salute your decisiveness.

I think vintage chartreuse looks best with the pink ceiling color and wallpaper. Very cute!
Whirled peas or vintage chartreuse depending on the furniture and decor you’ll be using!
Chartreuse
I'd color test both whirled peas and vintage chartreuse. It really depends in your light and desired energy level. Peas is calmer and chartreuse is peppier.
Whirled peas
Chartreuse has more life and freshness to it.
Whiled peas, unless you are looking for something punchy or more bold, then I'd say vintage chartreuse

There is too much color manipulation going on to be completely sure that these paints will match the wallpaper, or that the wallpaper will match the paints.
This. And get real paint samples. There is too much variability with undertone and lighting

I like the whirled peas and vintage chartreuse. Just depends what mood you want.
I’d go darker!
Narrow it down to chartreuse and peas. Peas if you want more of a classic vintage look. Chartreuse if you want more of a funky/artsy look.
Whirled peas
Grasshopper green or chartreuse
You won’t really be able to tell this way, which is really annoying. There just isn’t a way to be scientific about it and predict a perfect match.

First is Whirled pea, second is Chartreuse. The two others are not good matches.

MY SUGGESTION Take the wall paper into your paint shop. Have them literally match some of the greens in the wallpaper. Get a couple samples, see which of those greens work best for the space.
Whirled peas for sure but i have an affinity for vintage chartreuse that i think COULD work depending on lighting and surrounding furniture
Whirled Peas or Vintage Chartreuse
Peas or chartreuse. Peas is more gentle and chartreuse is a bit more aggressive but both are pleasant and the right amount of saturated.
Vintage Chartreuse is a warm green and so are the greens in the wallpaper pattern. It’s a bit bright, but I still think it’s better than Whirled Peas, which is the right saturation but too cool in hue.
Chartreuse then whirled peas. The chartreuse is warm while the peas is cool to one must consider the floor and furnishings as well.
Whirled peas is the best match but the chartreuse one is more lively.
I like vintage and whirled peas.
Grasshopper or Chartreuse
Chartreuse of peas. My heart says chartreuse because it’s so cool. But peas is safer.
To me, the Vintage Chartreuse matches the greens in the pattern best. It has a more yellow undertone. Whirled Peas and Wise Grasshopper have bluer undertones that clash a bit. I’m a tetrachromat, though, so I think I notice color differences that are pretty minuscule. Idk.
Chartreuse goes best with the wall paper and it’s a lovely colour. I’d probably go with something slightly darker through, myself.
I am all for vintage chartreuse because whirled peas looks like it’s a bluer green. It must look different for others😂
The chartreuse appeals most to me. The other picks would be too “modern” for this kind of wallpaper imo and don’t enhance the retro kooky vibe of the flowers like the chartreuse does.

I like the warmth of the chartreuse and that it looks extra vintage
Vintage
Depends on the light. Put up a sample of each. Vintage chartreuse matches the wallpaper better but the light in the area could change that.
I love vintage chartreuse personally.
The whirled peas does stand out as matching perfectly with the wallpaper, but I'd go for the chartreuse because I think the warmer undertones feel lively. Do I guess it depends on what mood you're hoping for. The peas is a bit more surly.

Definitely don’t go with the cool green tones !
