  1. When I was younger (as a child and teenager) I had this thing against green. Didn’t like to wear green clothes or acessories on green. Nowadays I became wiser and green is great color, dark green, army green, light green (whatever green), but specially on clothing and decor acessories, I wouldn’t dare dark green on kitchen cabinets. Mine are acqua… is a kind of green, right?

  2. Whoo hoo my favorite cardigan is going to be on trend this winter! I however am just not that in to dark green in decor. It either feels too woodsy cabin, heavy or dated for me.

  3. We bought a hunter green leather sectional in the early 90’s and used it until the leather practically shredded. I also had a valance of the same color. I don’t think I’m ready to re explore that color yet, if ever.

  4. Green seems like more of an outdoors area color, and not so much something you’d use indoors. But I love green and wouldn’t mind having a “green room” 🙂

  5. I love beautiful red rooms, or red anything, navy blue rooms and absolutely a gorgeous dark green room. I’m happy and hopeful that the very bland grey rooms everywhere will go far away soon. We had a medium shade of grey when I was very little in the early 50`s with chartreuse fabric chair and sofa. If there is one thing I disliked as a child,it was that drab and dreary room. I felt like so many rooms today that I lived in a basement.

  6. We’re remodeling our kitchen and I’m deeply considering newberg green for the perimeter cabinets. My fear is it feeling dated quickly. But it really is a look i love! Play it safe or be brave with a bold color?? The struggle is real!
