Color Duo: Orange and Green

Keeping with the pumpkin theme I decided to chose orange and green this week for a color combo.
Before browsing the internet for images I didn't think I'd find anything that great, I mean orange and green?
I was pleasantly surprised to find a few. I think the secret to making this color combo work is to use it in small doses.  As much as we all love Halloween, you don't want to live in a pumpkin... right?

Color Duo: Navy and Green

This week I made a new header for my Grenada blog and did the layout and background in navy and green.  I love this color combination, it was my college's colors, to represent the beautiful blue skies and green fields of Ohio... but maybe it should be the the blue Caribbean waters (which aren't navy...) & the green palm leaves instead. 
Anyone have any ideas of how I can make money and stay in Grenada.... forever? no work permit. no resources. too expensive to ship things. oh & my husband would probably leave me..........

Color Duo: Purple and Green

My friend Ellen's wedding colors were purple and green.  When she told me this I truthfully thought "WHAT?!" but it turned out absolutely beautiful!
I've been seeing this unusual color combo pop up and I think it's so fresh and interesting!

it ain't easy being green.

I felt like such a child all day.  I dressed up head to toe [k not toe, if I had access to my America closet I'd totally have green shoes] in green!  I love a good holiday and a reason to dress up!

I spent the morning with a friend on the beach, in my green bathing suit
went to the grocery with my green bag
made green snacks and games for the kids at my after school program
may or may not have worn green earrings, necklace, headband, and clothes.
drank 3 glasses of green tea
AND saw 2 rainbows!!

magazine cut outs, all things green.

 

adorable little leprechauns.  hat made out of construction paper

 popcorn cake, again!! I couldn't help it. it's so easy to make green!

cucumbers and celery. the kids HATED celery. haha don't think they'd ever had it.

green juice 

 and my bedroom is green. oh apartment living.

Color Duo : Blue and Green

I'm going to have an ongoing series highlighting color combos.
I personally think any color can go with any other color.
honest.
it just takes a little tweaking and the right scale and prints!

My first two colors are blue and green.
but not just blue and green.
aqua and lime
navy and olive
turquoise and green apple
peacock and jade
you get the idea.

I was inspired by these two colors from - what else, a globe!
I probably should have said nature, huh?  the gorgeous blue Caribbean water and the lush green palms.
that too.

and where better to start than at Coastal Living?
that is what I'm doing after all!

I'm a sucker for a great wallpaper.

add some green to your home!
start with a beautiful bowl of green apples! (or starfruit, grapefruits, or green bananas for that matter!)
or a plant! EVERY room should have a plant!  even if it's a cactus you never, ever, have to tend to.

which is your favorite?
