Color of the Month: Kelly Green

This gorgeous green hue that originated in Ireland (Kelly is a common Irish surname) is the color of the month. Kelly green color is not to be confused with Emerald green (named after the dark gemstone), as Kelly green leans a touch more towards yellow than Emerald without losing any richness from the green – which is why it’s so often characterized as having a spring vibe.

 

Think of Kelly green as replicating the lush green of the Irish landscape. Kelly green is often associated with the environment and renewal, and adding a splash of it to any home or space can liven up the place immediately.
