COLOR CRUSH:

Mint & Gold

We all have colors that we consider our favorites (red and hot pink for me) but every season there are one or two new colors that make my seasonal Color Crush list. This spring I’m head over heels in love with Mint & Gold.

Even though pastels are really not my thing but this combination is just so beautiful that I can’t help but be drawn to it.  On the pastel scale mint is one of those colors that sits between soft and feminine and modern sophistication.  When paired with gold, mint takes on a whole new feel and becomes really elegant.

On the color psychology wheel, greens in general offer a feeling of freshness, tranquility, and calm.  It can also signify wealth, stability, growth, and abundance.  All pretty good reasons to love mint green.

In décor, the colors mint and gold work together to create a casually elegant feel.  This bedroom comes alive because of the wall color and those gold poufs.

For entertaining, the mint and gold color combo is so refreshing.  Gold details really pop against mint and the mint adds just enough depth to energize the table. This color palette would be a great look for a more sophisticated Easter table setting.

I am dying over this gold mirror and lamp set against the mint colored walls.  The black console helps to ground the space and is a great balance with the two colors.

Mint just happens to be one of those colors that also mixes well with bright tones like hot pink and royal blue.

And for the ultimate soothing bedroom color palette, mint, ivory and touches of gold do the trick.

Mint is going to be a hot color statement in fashion for spring and I love the look of this necklace with mint and gold accents.

I don’t know if I’d ever personally decorate with mint and gold but I sure am loving this combo for fashion and entertaining.

Speaking of gold and mint, I’ve got a really chic DIY paper project for you tomorrow.  I hope you’ll stop by and check it out.
