Spring Color Crush: Fresh Green & Why We Love It!

Senior Market Editor Kai Ethier shares which hue she’s crushing on right now.
Rich, lively and full of optimism, this bold hue is bringing our pastoral fantasies to life. Fresh Green’s lush look evokes the rolling hills of Ireland — the ideal escape after a long, gray winter. If you’re not ready to embrace a full field of clover, don’t fret; just a blade of this versatile hue is sure to invigorate your spirits. Either way, spring is here and luck is in the air!
