Pantone - Cardamom Seed
I'll be honest, this green isn't one that I typically reach for, but when I do, I'm reminded of how grounded and calming it is. It's a great warm tone that pairs well with many other colors. When I was creating my Art Gallery Fabric Sewcialite Bundle, Nostalgia, this Garden Fern color was a last-minute addition. I felt like the bundle needed something to bridge the gap between the warm and cool tones. Once I added this color between the yellows and cooler greens and blues, I felt like the entire palette just clicked into place!
When it comes to pairing, earthy green offers several options that come to mind. Warm neutrals, such as sandy beige or deep browns, work well. Alternatively, juxtaposing it with crisp whites or soft grays lends a more contemporary edge to it, as opposed to a down-to-earth ambiance. For those seeking a bolder statement, integrating earthy green with accents of terracotta, peach, or salmon tones can lead to a fun, dynamic color palette.
One of my favorite examples using this green is from my Sky Cabin Quilt. I paired it with olive oil and warm oranges that reminded me of apricots on a summer day! These tones together just screamed calming, earthy, and bold. Check it out below!
