 When used in paintings on canvas there  are umpteen number of shades and hues and hues you can make and it is always said that a good artist never uses greens in nature painting or landscape painting directly from the tube. Great artists always made their own greens. A bit of chrome yellow does wonders to your nature greens.
Also adding a little bit of prussian blue to yellow brings a great green. Adding white would very often spoil my greens and using emerald green, sap green or chrome green was never the solution, trying out various green mixes I have wasted quite a lot sometimes , though used  the (muddy) color for base of new artworks. This tip helps quite a lot, never waste paints , paint it over empty papers or canvas  and use this as base a cover to paint your painting on this, you will see fresh bright colors  and your painting will come out with much better visual impact.

It is very important that you choose the right shade of green color. Use green in paintings and in your home only when you like the color as there are individual personal tastes.    Green being the color of heart chakra among all chakras, your emotions are always reflected in your works and life and with the heart chakra color being green this color helps heal  heart and attracts positive energy to your heart. But it all goes down to personal likes and preferences and there are still many who do not love the color green and opt for any other color rather than green!
