Green is rich and vibrant, yet cool, calm and refreshing. Green is the color of a forest, a soft grassy hill to roll down. It's the color of Spring. Green is alluring. Avocado green is classic 70's appliances, carpet, upholstery while lime greens are fun, refreshing and cool. Green is a familiar friend that you can rely on; easy to talk to, trustworthy. I love all shades of green. All with a completely different statement, but all so naturally beautiful. My eyes are chameleons that change colors between winter green, sea foam green, mint green, murky algae greens, and green-grey. Green has always been a go-to color for me. Perhaps it's because of my eyes, but whatever it is, green has always resonated with me.
