Happy St. Patrick's Day!
It's been the week for green! Thanks for all the fun and interesting comments. Amazing how many friends said green was their absolute favorite color. To be honest, I've never been a huge fan of it. But lately, I've been adding a few touches here and there in my decor. It brings life.
I think green is just plain pretty to look at.

One of the first discoveries we made at the kindergarten art table is that yellow and blue make green. But there are tons of variations which makes it all but impossible to categorize. 
Remember this little lesson from art class?

hue: purest brightest color
tint: aka pastel.  Adding white to a color.
shade: adding black to a color.
tone: adding white and black. A color that is "greyed down."


Here's a small sampling of greens.
