The need for a green palette testifies to the inevitable and life-affirming connection between humans and greenery, providing critical food, water, oxygen, and remedies. Holistic and harmonious living is linked to the efficacy of the yellow greens, blue greens, and greenish yellows. Food and beverage trends, lifestyles, and well-being are all closely connected to this color family. It is the largest of all hue groups, ranging from the lightest frost and sea spray to the deepest of evergreens; from sunny limes and bright chartreuse to deep lush mossy greens; from succulent aloe to sweet pea. The blue greens bring yet another wide extension of the green family in turquoise and deep teal to honeydew and cockatoo.
