Emerald Green - No. 190

Emerald Green is the kind of green that refuses to behave politely.

It’s loud in the best way. Fresh, punchy, and almost a little ridiculous, like the exact shade you get when nature is showing off. Think brand new leaves in May, plastic water guns, lime popsicles, and that slightly toxic-looking grass color you only ever see when the sun hits it just right.

This is not a quiet, wise, mossy forest green. This is the green of “I have arrived” and “I’m not here to blend in.” And honestly, it’s so satisfying on paper because it stays bright even when you dilute it. It still looks alive, like it has caffeine.

Use Emerald Green for botanicals that need to look juicy, abstract work that needs a slap of energy, and highlights that make other greens look like they haven’t slept in years. It also mixes beautifully with yellows for electric spring greens, and with blues for turquoise depths that feel like swimming pools and tropical chaos.

Basically. If your painting needs a little rebellious freshness and a green that does not apologize, this is it.
