The color of new growth, the promise of spring, and the world that surrounds us, green is a natural

Equal parts warm and cool, green is so versatile it can practically be considered a neutral. Green is the color we most closely associate with nature -- grass, trees, leaves -- which makes it calming, refreshing, easy on the eyes, and a natural partner for almost any color, from cerulean blue to earthy brown to citrus orange. Light, bright greens, such as kiwi and wasabi, feel particularly fresh and modern right now, and thinking "green" is a trend we all want to be a part of. From leafy lime to grayed sage to brilliant Kelly, green is a color that can work in almost any room, décor or color scheme, so consider it a fail-proof decorating ally.
