Both platforms have a light green trim line with a dark green border and mosaic name tablets reading "CLINTON - WASHINGTON AV." on two lines in white sans-serif lettering on a dark green background and a lighter green border. Beneath the trim line and name tablets are small tile directional signs and station names (alternating between "CLINTON" and "WASHINGTON") in white lettering on a black background. The tiles were part of a color-coded tile system used throughout the IND.[7] The tile colors were designed to facilitate navigation for travelers going away from Lower Manhattan. Because the Crosstown Line does not merge into a line that enters Manhattan at either end, all stations on the line had green tiles.[8][9] Hunter green (previously yellow) I-beam columns run along both platforms at regular intervals, alternating ones having the standard black station name plate in white lettering.
The mezzanine has five murals of artwork, each of different names and artists. They are Night and Day by Jim Porter installed in 1998, Safe Passage by Dan Simmons, an untitled artwork by Maku, Fusion by Jamal Ince installed in 2000, and Mercury by John Woodrow Kelley installed in 2000.
