Bright colors are taking over our social media feeds, and that can only mean one thing, spring is here! There is one bright color in particular that we haven't seen since the 19th century that is trending all over the world right now. We saw this trend tiptoeing in back in 2021. Then it really started holding its own in 2022, and now it has been walking the runways of the biggest fashion houses since 2023. We have a new leader, kelly green.

It should come as no surprise then that Taylor Swift added it to her many color changes on her Era's tour. Its actually two green outfits in one. When she starts, she has a boho komono green dress on, and eventually takes a magical stage dive only to re-appear in a beaded, sparkly little green outfit. Taylor never ceases to amaze us with her iconic looks, and like her music, her style and fashion sense just continue to evolve and get better and better.

What Does Green Symbolize?

Green symbolizes harmony, the natural world, spring, and rebirth. It stands for growth, renewal, and prosperity. Green is the color of our paper currency, and the Green Party in the US is integrally linked to progressive and ecological causes.

What happens when we see and/or wear green? The pituitary gland is stimulated. It naturally relaxes you but ironically energizes you as well. Green enhances creativity, and it is said that a genius will always pick the color green when given the option.

Green is a color we often connect with health, wealth, and new growth. In general, we consider it to be youthful, healthy, and balanced. We include green in interior design in order to promote productivity and creativity, and we link green to advancement—consider giving a project the "green light."

While most of our associations with green are good, there are some really intense negative ones as well, which is interesting. A sick person could appear "green about the gills," and some yellow-gray greens have a rather unappealing, institutional vibe. Green makes us think of jealousy and greed, and even the Mr. Yuck sticker, which is meant to keep kids away from chemicals that could be harmful, is a bright, eye-catching shade of green.

What Skin Tone Looks Best With Kelly Green?

Kelly green looks good on all skin tones. If you don't know how to tell what skin tone you have, it's pretty easy. Flip your hand palm up and take a peek at your veins in the hand and wrist.

If your veins appear to be blue or purple, you have cool skin. If they appear green, then you have warm skin. If it's hard to tell one way or the other what color they favor, then you have neutral skin.

What To Do If You Don't Like The Color Green

If you are not a fan of kelly green, try one of the fun shades or tints of green. (Shades are darker greens; tints are lighter.) Olive, avocado, neon green, seafoam green, mint green, or army green There is so much to choose from.

Another thing to do if you want to get used to green is start small. Wear some green jewelry, maybe a green belt or purse. Nothing says if you're going green, you have to be decked out in it. Wear green with fun colors you love, like a bright yellow or purple. Green also looks great with white if you're not a huge fan of colors.
