Leaf Green

Leaf green combines the warm undertones of bright yellow with a cool tinge of blue, creating a welcoming hue often found in nature. Because of its association with nature, it is seen in a variety of applications including home décor, fashion, and web design. In interior design, leaf green can be used as an accent color for accessories such as throw pillows, curtains, or rugs to add a pop of color to a neutral space. Paint a wall, or an entire room for that matter, this calming hue. Accent it with bright colors such as whites or softer shades of purple. In fashion, leaf green can be incorporated into clothing and accessories to add a fresh quality to any ensemble. In web design, use this calming hue for buttons, backgrounds, or text to add a natural, soothing element to a website's design.
