Green with Envy...

I recently visited a good friend's home where I discovered the perfect green colored kitchen.  I wanted to go home and paint my whole house green!  Well, not really, but it did make me think about where I could use green. 


Don't you love the color green.  Green harmonizes it creates the perfect combination of the passivity of blue with the vibrancy of yellow. It is considered the most restful color to the eye, and of all the colors, green is the one in which the human eye distinguishes the widest range of shades.

Green represents nature in nearly every culture.  It can be seen in the new life that comes in the spring and in the lasting color of evergreens.  BioPulse states,

green is used as color therapy for relaxation and balancing the nervous system.  Green represents money.  Green has also represents fertility, love and sexuality in many cultures.



Dark green is associated with ambition, greed, and jealousy.
Yellow-green can indicate sickness, cowardice, discord, and jealousy.
Aqua is associated with emotional healing and protection.

Olive green is the traditional color of peace.








I thought I'd share some green pallets I've seen that inspire me.

When choosing a green be sure to put it on the wall in the room it will go.  Greens can look very different when they are in sunlight or shade.


Decorating with green is easy and fun. You will never go wrong using this fresh and relaxing color palette.  Do you need some "Green" in your home?
