Classic Color: Kelly Green


Kelly green is one of those great, classic colors that can be used time and again without the fear of it looking dated shortly thereafter. If I'm being honest, I'm not sure I always credit kelly green properly, as similar hues like emerald, jade, or even shamrock green seem to bare a strong resemblance. Regardless, I love the way this bold color looks on anything from furniture to clothing, and so much more.

Here are a few ways I'm loving kelly green:

Kelly green has always been one of my favorite shades. I recently was given a buffet from a friend and have decided to give it new life with a combination of kelly green and gold hardware!

I would be happy as a clam with that wallpaper!! I just bought a kelly green cardi yesterday. I liked it because it had navy piping and thought it's be cute w/ the sleeves rolled up. Happy 2013 to you!!! xo

Love green in all shades but you can't beat the classic Kelly green. I do think there is a fine line of getting it to be a punch of color and having it look a little st. patrick's day though!

Great stuff! Kelly green is definitely a wonderful hue. It's bold without being too in your face. I think I need some more of it in my life!
