Why do I now love a color I used to hate?
As a teen, if you asked me my least favorite color, I would say it was that weird yellow green brownish color. The color of pea soup, of baby poop, of algae, a bit olive green, a bit avocado, a bit chartreuse, a bit acid green. And now? I can't get enough of this color. I love it as the most perfect accent color or as the spotlight of an ensemble.

Berry and fuchsia and hot pink? So fun. But those colors with chartreuse or avocado? Divine. And this color with navy, with chocolate brown, with gray, with dark forest green or teal, deep jewel tones of amethyst and garnet and sapphire and ruby… oh it feels so modern and sophisticated and gives it all a new fresh life.

This color goes by so many names, and not all of them are entirely accurate. But finding pieces for this article I found the color names chartreuse, avocado and avocado oil, pistachio, peridot, golden pear, green tea, slime, olive gold, moss, woodbine, celery, citrus, citron, and bamboo. Some are brighter, some are more muted, some have more yellow or brown. There is variety to this color, so you can find the version that feels the most right for your existing wardrobe and your personal taste.

This is the kind of color that can change with what it's paired with. With brown and gold, it's luxe. With neon pink and white it's modern and fun. With purples and teals it takes on an almost metallic effect. It makes red go from cliche to edgy. It's great with denim, morphing with each wash or color and it emphasizes texture when paired with or offered in angora, tweed, leather, suede, velvet, chenille.
Don't like this color? Don't worry, it's not a necessity to be stylish. I just love the idea of how we as humans keep growing and learning and changing. What we may have hated in the past we may not find we love; we continue to have the ability to change our mind and embrace new ideas as we get older and wiser!

I wish those mules were available in my size.
I would love to see photos of some of the color combinations you are suggesting. It would make it easier to visualize!
Love! These colors were made for those of us who are natural carrot-tops (even if age has faded it to a dishwater strawberry). I’d already purchased the golden-pear silk scarf by Eileen Fisher when I saw you mention the woodbine cashmere sweater at Tuckernuck. I was able to nab it when it was briefly available. Gorgeous! Thanks for highlighting.
The little bowls are so cute!
Omg! So glad I’m not the only one…I have been scouring my favorite places to shop for this color as well! I do love using color to perk up my winter outfits and this green is definitely it this year!
