How would you describe this color? I guess I’d call it a moss green or olive green. Maybe even a forest green. Pantone calls it Kale and it’s part of their 2017 Spring Fashion Color Report. It’s sort of a natural green with tangy yellow undertones. I especially like this color when paired with black or white. Here’s a roundup of design ideas featuring the ‘Kale’ color trend…

This interior is just plain fun! The natural textures and color palette are a great backdrop to show off the hanging moss balls.

The blend of ‘Kale’ green and light brown wood tones in this wreath design is just lovely. Displaying it against a black door makes the whole look perfect!

Add a ‘kale’ green sofa to any interior for a pop of color. You can even give it some colorful friends for an eclectic look. Keep the walls white and add a few white throw pillows to balance out the bold colors.

The olive green of this dress combined with the black strappy details… I’m in love!

The addition of a moss green stripe on the headboard adds just the right amount of cool green to this otherwise warm toned bedroom. I must have one of these oversized mirrors!

For a fresh look, combine ‘kale’ green with white and one bubble gum pink accent. A few warm brown pieces helps ground the look. Nice!

If you’d like to add a little ‘kale’ to your wardrobe, this olive toned scarf necklace might do the trick.

Just adding a single ‘kale’ green piece to a room adds a trendy fun vibe to any interior.

Here’s a ‘kale’ green sofa that leans a bit toward the forest green side. I just love Anthropologie sofas!

Here’s an excellent combo. Rattan furniture in a white room with white cushions. Add a pop of color with one ‘kale’ green piece and you’re done. Love it!
