This color combination can be very rich. It works especially well with the texture of tile: in bathrooms, kitchens, and fireplace surrounds. Since blue and green are so closely related, pairing them with an accent color like a deep chocolate brown or a golden yellow can really set off the jewel tones. Click below for more examples.
My mother (now gone on ahead of us) LOVED to put green and blue together. She decorated her bedroom in these colors in the mid-60s. For Christmas 1968 I gave her a little wastepaper basket that looked like green and blue brocade (my older sister made fun of me for giving our mother a trash can), but when my mother died in 2005, it was still being used. I also inherited her Poppy Trail stoneware in Sculptured Grape ... the blue and green pattern of course!

Love this. Anyone know where I could find a headboard like the one pictured?

I really love this color combo but was wondering if anyone knows a good technique for laying down a blue paint color on the wall AND then applying a thin transparent green on top so I can see the underlayer. I'm not interested in any kind of faux texture. Just a uniform thin green to see the blue through??
