Color Crushing on Olive

October 9, 2017 1 Comment

Hello my friends!  For the past year I have been color crushing on olive.  As I was searching around on Pinterest today, it inspired me to put together a quick post with some of my favorite items and images containing this super amazing shade of green.

Olive acts as a neutral without being beige and boring.  Undertones ranging from blue, yellow and brown allow this color to pair well with so many other colors.  I really can’t think of many color combos containing olive that wouldn’t work!  Here are a few of my most favorite co-ordinating color combos with Olive.Great color combinations using shades of Olive green.Gorgeous Olive cabinetry feels modern and fresh paired with black hardware.

Pillows are an inexpensive and super easy way to bring style and color to any space!  So these olive pillow covers are a no-brainer!  Remember to buy feather down inserts like these to make any pillow instantly look chic and designer!  Karate chop, anyone?  Yes please!
