Green: A Spectrum of Emotions

Green offers a wide range of colors to evoke various moods:

• Light and Airy: Sage greens create a calming and peaceful atmosphere.
• Dark and Moody: Deep greens like evergreen or hunter create a dramatic, forest-inspired feel.

The Psychology of Green

Green is associated with nature and evokes positive feelings:

• Freshness and Growth: Lighter greens represent new beginnings and a connection to nature.
• Sophistication: Darker greens create a rich and sophisticated ambiance.

Choosing the Perfect Green
