Green shades in bamboo fabric

Short answer: Green runs from cool sage to deep forest. The muted shades are easiest to wear and match navy, beige and white.

The muted greens are easiest

Sage, olive and forest green all contain some grey or brown. That makes them calm and easy to combine with the rest of an ordinary wardrobe. Bright greens ask more of the rest of the outfit.

What green goes with

Green works well with navy, white, beige and denim blue. That makes it a useful third colour in a wardrobe that is otherwise black and white. See bamboo clothing for women.

Green in nightwear and loungewear

In nightwear and home clothes the muted greens read as calm and less clinical than white. They also hide more than light colours do. See bamboo nightwear for women and loungewear for women.
