I have yet to dip my toes in the ocean this summer. That’s just crazy talk, right? As I plot my escape to the coastline, I’m dialing the tone of Mood Board Monday back a llllot with a hue that’s synonymous with summer and crashing waves. It also has a cool, retro look that makes it that much more perfectly suited for the season. (Imagine riding in that vintage seafoam green convertible below.) It’s close to mint green but a little more subdued. Dive in.

      I love seaform green and in my minds eye I always see a loving lady wearing a seaform green dress with layers of chiffon flowing and blowing in the breeze on the beach. Just like the on in the picture provided.

    This is my very favorite color ever.

  3. Farima@HGTV says:

    I love this color – it reminds me of the ocean too. I need a road trip to the beach!

    The kitchen pictured is just breath-taking.

  5. Miss Dynamite says:

    Such a beautiful soft green!

  6. AZ Granny says:

    I think I want to do my Master bed and bath in this cool cool shade

    Lovely, peaceful color. It's always been a favorite since I can remember. I like the kitchen cabinets with the stainless appliances better than the sea foam fridge. The color reminds me of my grandmother's milk glass and my first(hand-me-down) bike which I painted with leftover wall paint from the living room in our new house.

    As my old Mary Kay director used to say "The hands that pull you up by the bootstraps are the ones at the end of your own arms." If you need to get out and get a place of your own, the first step is to make sure you have the funds to pay for a larger place. Then go to a real estate office for either rentals or sales and talk to an agent.

    Seafoam green – ahh, fabulous! It's the perfect accent color for a guest bedroom/bath at the beach — and what could be a more feminine, romantic yet sexy color than that of the gown above — like floating on a cloud. Who couldn't look manifique surrounded with such a color.

    In my 1950's bathroom the tub is sea foam formerly pistacio like the tiles that border the room. I suppose the sink and the toilet originally were also sea foam. Up until 4yrs ago I hated the color because it was so hard to find anything to coordinate. Now I have painted wide stripes of the shade on the walls and the ceiling is the lightest shade. I love it!

  11. Kathy says:

    Two of my Mom;s old chairs came out of storage, and they were upholstered Seafome color,probably 20 years ago Since they.are in good shape, i decided to incorporate the color into my livingroom. I was surprised to find some current decor items in that color to tie them into my living room. I really like the color!

  12. Mary says:

    I used this color with pale,pale blue in my condo near the coast in Florida, I love it !!

  13. Barbara Harris says:

    love this color~~~~~very like a house at the seashore

  14. carol says:

    i just did my bathroom with a cultured marble shower in seafoam green and the same color glass sink and glass tile countertops with round marble and glass tiles as a backsplash. leftover tiles were spread out to resemble bubbles and i painted some bubbles up the wall. pretty effective i think. lovely watery color.

    • Carol says:

      Sounds so dreamy…love it!!!!

      I just bought a sea foam green tempered glass sink/vanity top at Lowes. The vanity is dark with rounded front double doors. That's all I've got. I'm just starting to remodel my bathroom. Please Please send me some pics of yours so I can get a picture in my head of what to do. forjoe@gmail.com

      I just bought a seafoam green tempered glass sink at Lowes. I would love to see pics of your bathroom since I haven't finished designing mine yet.. Thank You!

  15. Camille says:

    I adore seafoam green. It is so soothing, soft, and ethereal. It works beautifully with so many colors. I have it on the walls in 3 rooms of my house.

  16. Jude says:

    My bathroom is seafoam green with glass accents (beach ball floats, glass vases, lamp fixture etc) that have the green tint to them and pure white trim, linens and floor. I've had it for over 3 years and have never tired of it. It's the most relaxing color I have in my house. I call it my spa/vacation/oasis room. No better way to wake up!

  17. Laura says:

    I love all shades of green! But I think seafoam should be used as an accent color because I think you can get tired of it quicker. Also hard to match other shades unless you go bland.

  18. Thrilled to see this! We had no idea that you had seen our blog post about the Seafoam Sangria, but we've been revisiting the entire Seafoam and Sand styled shoot this week on the Fairy Godmother blog after the magazine was released a couple of weeks ago. We will give you a shout out on tomorrow's post!

  19. Donnamarie says:

    My dining room in a summer beach house is this color with white or off-white furniture. All the pictures have seafoam green and blend nicely. It's so soothing and relaxing and everyone seems to love it as much as we do.

    • Carol says:

      Seafoam has to be the most relaxing color, for all beach lovers! It has always been one of my favorites. I like it mixed with yellow and light blue even more!! We live on the water and have seafoam in almost every room in the house.

  20. Deb says:

    LOVE the sea foam color. Hope I can copy pic of my master bath. Glass tiles were inspiration to find ming green marble for the vanity and tub surround. Then found tumbled marble for the shower floor and best of all was the marble and glass tile mosaic for the backplash and shower decor.

  21. Realtor says:

    I painted the master bedroom a seafoam. It looked blue-er in the sample. I wasn't happy at first, but once I added decor–white and white -washed–it looked great.
