This could mean that we will get some pretty greens this year but what will you do with Emerald Green this year????

[FrLopLady]

not much..it isn't a color I choose naturally to work with

[kraftynkrazy]

I love emerald! It's a beautiful color!!!

[funnymom8]

Its a pretty color but not everyone can wear it well. I love the color Green, in any shade, but this particular shade reminds me of St. Patricks Day or Christmas. But I'd make myself a scarf with it.

I find that many greens can be challenging to wear or even to use in the home. Colours tend to be "trendy" and you can't always get go-togethers for them.

 

I look forward to seeing what colours do show up in my Walmart Yarn Aisle.

I love all greens, so Emerald suits me fine. Don't know what I would make from it though.

oooooooooooh..... NICE!!!

I'm thinking .......... *slippers*

I can't remember what were watching (I think GMA); my daughter and I saw this announced a few weeks ago. Made a guessing game out of it, and I got it. Well green in general. LOL

Not a huge fan of wearing, decorating or crocheting Emerald green. I am not comfortable in it...except.....if they're real emeralds!

[mamamiaow]

i used to make little shamrock pins for my kids--i'm sure i used emerald green!

Depends on the pattern and the color itself, what one yarn company calls Emerald can be different from another company. If it is really too much of a bright color, then I would probably find a variegated or soft contrasting color to use.

 

Now if it was Turquoise or Hot Pink, that is more my style.

I like it better than last year's orange color - Mango? I do better with cool colors like emerald.

[Katchkan]

Not my favorite shade of green. I like the richer darker greens. Like forest or pine. Emerald doesn't really fit me or my decor. But I do like it better than some of the colors they have chosen to promote.

Tangerine Tango. Like that name makes it better. LOL

I was excited when I heard the color is "emerald green". That's my birthstone! While it's not "emerald" green, I am now working on a green premie-baby blanket to donate. I think I'll get involved this year and work with some emerald green.

 

Have fun everyone!

I love greens and would love to see some new ones that aren't in the leafy green tones - there are plenty of those already. I use mostly RHSS for charity lapghans, and a green midway between Spring Green and Paddy Green would be very helpful.

St Patty's day stuff. I don't care too much for the green family. Well except money and plants, they are my exceptions..

[texas sunflower]

Yay!! Green is my favorite color!!

[Real Deal]

I love emerald green! It's great as foliage because it usually looks great with all the flower colors. It's nice in striping, and looks wonderful on blondes.

I just did an image search for the colour... I like to see all the ways it can be displayed.

I do like that feature of search. I use that all the time while reading Regency stories etc

[Jeepngirl]

Since I love green, this is great for me! Emerald green is so pretty. This bodes well for my afghan for the bedroom....maybe even one for the couch!

[MamawNaNa]

I am definitely not bit by the green eyed monster. green and yellow I could do without...except for outdoors and I love my flowers/trees etc,not marigolds though...to much yellow!!

[darski]

I have been watching the World's figure skating and there has been a good bit of emerald green in the costumes.  Nice to see.
