Combining moss green and olive: warm color ideas for autumn

Moss green and olive are two shades of green that go beautifully together. Moss green is slightly darker and deeper in colour, while olive has a warmer, slightly lighter look. Together they make a beautiful combination for autumn, but you can actually use these colours all year round.

You don’t need to change your interior right away to incorporate these colours. A few candles, a vase or other accessories can create a completely different effect.

Why moss green and olive go so well together

Although moss green and olive are both shades of green, they are different enough to work well together. It is precisely this difference that makes the combination interesting.

For example, choose olive as your main colour and add some darker moss green here and there. Or do the opposite and use olive to brighten up a dark combination.

You can also mix different shades of green together. They don’t need to be exactly the same colour. That is precisely what makes them so enjoyable to combine.

Which colours go well with moss green and olive?

You can take several approaches with moss green and olive. It mainly depends on which colours you use with them.

Beige and cream
Want to keep the overall look light? Then beige, sand and cream are beautiful additions. A few green candles on a light wooden table or an olive-coloured vase next to cream-coloured accessories is often all you need.

Terracotta and rust brown
These warm colours complement the green shades well. For example, try a terracotta candle among moss green and olive-coloured candles. This works particularly well with wood and ceramics.

Ochre yellow and mustard yellow
Want a bit more colour? Then you can also add ochre yellow or mustard yellow. These shades stand out more, especially next to dark moss green. Use them as a small accent, for example.

Combining with candles and candle holders

Candles are ideal for trying out different colours. You can easily swap them and combine them with accessories you already have at home.

For example, place three dinner candles in moss green, olive and cream together. Or combine a green pillar candle with dinner candles in different heights.

You can also vary the candle holders. Glass keeps the overall look lighter, while wood, ceramics and metal create a different effect. So you don’t have to choose the same candle holders for everything.

At Rustik Lys, you will find various shades of green and warm autumn colours that you can combine beautifully with each other.

Also beautiful after autumn

Moss green and olive are not just autumn colours. In spring, for example, you can combine them with light natural tones, and in winter with warm colours such as terracotta and dark brown.

Start with a few accessories and see which combination you think looks best. Sometimes a few new candles are all you need to dress an existing spot in your home a little differently.
