Eau de Nil

Mar12

Eau de Nil (water of the Nile) is a cool, light bluish-green hue with a little tan undertone. It was popular in the middle of the 1800s when Europe was Egypt-obsessed but much more subdued colors were desired after Empire style. It complements very well the palette of light neutrals (e.g. creme, off-white, light beige, sand) but even looks good on big surfaces.

Chartreuse

Jun24

Chartreuse color is in the middle between green and yellow on the color wheel. Although it is a vivid hue, it’s not very showish because of it’s mid-dark tone. It is perfect for focal points but looks good on big surfaces also. In the latter case, it might be outweighed by neutral colors. It was named after the French liqueur made by Carthusian monks since 1764, which is made from 130 plants and herbs, that gives its natural yellowish-green color.
