Dark Citron, Pantone Spring 2009

Dark Citron is a yellow based green, that has a sense of serenity. It reminds me of the soft green olive that I saw during my travels throughout the Mediterranean. This calming color would look fabulous in combination with any of the brights chosed by Pantone for this spring. This isn't typically a color I work with, as my eye doesn't travel towards muted greens. However, as I am trying to get out of my comfort zone in working with colors, I added some green fluorite to my stock and paired it with sterling silver. The fluorite doesn't have that touch of yellow to make it an exact match to Dark Citron. Another shade of green that I discovered is called Elphaba, after the witch in the Wizard of Oz. It a yellow based green, that has some darker swirls encased in it. It is more on the yellow side of Dark Citron, but it is a shade I love, because it is fresh and clean. Chartreuse, the transparent glass earrings, again have a bit more yellow to make it a true match to Dark Citron, but again, fashion is about adapting colors to fit one's complexion. Please post links to your pieces that showcase, Dark Citron. I will stumbleupon, twitter, and kirtsy them and would love it if you could return the favor.
