The thing which makes green, and emerald particularly, so excellent is that it looks good with virtually every skin tone. From ebony to porcelain dark, earthy green helps make the skin shine. It is also an excellent compliment to brunette, blonde AND red hair. Not to mention it is simply a beautiful shade that may be mixed and matched along with other greens and may help accent colors pop!

Some in our favorite combos for decor are emerald and gold, emerald and lavender, and emerald and navy (for serious drama). Emerald also enables really fun, festive, and out-of-the-box floral combos. If you want your botanicals to be within the spotlight, this shade is the best backdrop.

Beautiful, classic, flattering, and trendy. So live green and get going... Happy planning!
