How to wear emerald green

An emerald green dress shines with gold, nude or black shoes. For daytime, pair it with white, beige or jeans. With dusty pink you get a soft, elegant contrast. Gold jewelry is its best friend.

Emerald green in home decor

Emerald green looks stunning on velvet sofas, armchairs, accent walls or tiles. Pair it with white or beige walls and gold or brass details. White marble and dark wood play up its luxury. Dusty pink or mustard textiles soften the look.

Emerald green in graphic and web design

Emerald green conveys growth and luxury. White text only gets good contrast on it at large sizes; for small text, use a darker shade of the same green or black text.

What to avoid

Avoid pairing it with yellowish greens like lime or with pure red, because it looks like Christmas or feels overdone. Don't mix it with too many bright colors at once either.
