Today I thought we would dive into a little colour psychology with an (amended) extract from my book but looking  also at inspiration and what's in the shops so that you can buy if you want but be inspired if you don't. I wanted to start with green as it's definitely one of the colours of the moment whether it's in paint or velvet, plants or connecting to nature.

It's also one of those colours (like grey) that comes in hundreds of different shades so whether you're dark and foresty (me) or fresh and minty (never say never) there's bound to be a version for you. It goes with all the shades of pink - think dark olive with a neon pink, or the palest of blush with a dark forest. But don't forget the aforementioned mint with any of the pinks above depending on if you steer towards the pastel or the punk end of the spectrum.
