My Favourite Colour Combos with Green

Updated: Aug 27

The Natural Vibe


I’m excited to talk about green — my current go-to colour. It’s like that trusty pair of jeans you can always rely on, no matter what. Green has this perfect balance of calm and energy, like a chilled-out walk through the park with just enough sunshine to keep things interesting. It’s got that natural vibe, reminding me of growth, fresh starts, and the smell of rain on a spring day. Whenever I’m decorating or choosing what to wear, green just sneaks in without me even trying.
