Green

Green has a long history in Southern interiors. Because we are surrounded by greenery, it is refreshing to bring in one shade or a few variations, to pull them out of their environment and give them a new look. When you're seeking a neutral tone but still want color, green is a great choice.

From the bold Kelly greens that appear on floral-printed chintzes to subtle limestone and mint and vibrant chartreuse, green is chameleonlike in its ability to take on alternate identities. Green may be a restful color, but it suggests vitality because its inspiration springs from life and growth.
