I understand you want to neutralize the pastel greenish blue color. Here are some tips that will hopefully be helpful:

Choose a grey hue: Using a hue from the opposite side of the color wheel is one of the best ways to neutralize any color. Since pastel greenish blue has a yellow base, choose a grey with a purple base. Some examples of this include charcoal grey, pearl grey, steel grey and pewter.
Use white: White often will do the trick when trying to neutralize any color. Adding a few drops of white into the mix should lighten the tone of the pastel greenish blue to a softer and more neutral shade.
Choose a complementary color: Colors that are directly opposite each other on the color wheel will work well together to neutralize the original color. For pastel greenish blue, opt for an orange or yellow, such as peaches and cream, lemon custard, and coral.
Engage with an expert: If you're still having trouble neutralizing the color, consider talking to a paint or color specialist. They should be able to recommend the appropriate colors and supplies to help you achieve the look you're going for.

With these tips in mind, hopefully you'll be able to put together a color palette that will neutralize the pastel greenish blue color.

One of the best ways to neutralize a pastel greenish blue is to use complementary colors. Complementary colors are colors that are opposite of one another in the color wheel. For this pastel greenish blue, the complementary color would be a pinkish-orange. You could add some oranges and pinks to the space to neutralize the natural greens and blues of the area.

In addition to using complementary colors, you could also add some warm colors, such as yellow, to the space. The yellow can help to counterbalance the cooler colors of the greenish-blue, creating a more neutralize effect overall.

You can also experiment with combining different textures to neutralize the pastel greenish blue. For example, introducing a variety of fabrics and textures, such as textured rugs, pillows and curtains, can help create a feeling of warmth and comfort. The textures can also help to detract from the greenish-blue and create a more neutral environment.

Neutralizing a pastel greenish blue can require some creativity, but the effort can pay off in the end. By using the tips outlined above, you can create a more balanced and tranquil atmosphere for your space.
