That color...


It's not quite aqua not quite green but lies somewhere beautifully in-between. I'm loving this greenish-aqua hue lately.(it's almost teal but not quite) It's Springy and uplifting and looks amazing paired with navy, pink, blue and grey. Benjamin Moore's shade Island Paradise - 606 is a pretty close match. You could ask the paint store to mix it at 125%, if you'd like it to look a little deeper. It is painting season!! I have a slew of projects to complete.

  4. This is one of my favorites right now and I keep seeing referred to as jade. BTW, I had not known the sad news about Adam Yauch until I saw it on Shelter. We LOVE Beastie Boys at our house.

  5. Agreed- I love it as well! Not quite as strong/ forcefully cheery as Kelly green can sometimes be

  6. Yes, I guess it's sort of Jade, I picture Jade being a little darker. I did a post on jade a few months ago.

    Hope you're well.
