CGD Color of the Month
Aquamarine
I love the color green in almost any shade! It reminds me of the out doors and is such a great backdrop for other colors.
The original birthstone for March is Bloodstone but by 1912 Aquamarine was adopted as the modern day gemstone for March.
It is said that these pale blue-green stones are associated with good health, youth, love and hope.
Just being in a room designed with this color palette makes me happy! It has a very calming effect on most people, I believe because the varying shades of blue green color remind one of the ocean, in fact the word Aquamarine is from the Latin, aqua marina, water, sea. It pairs well with many different colors such as, rust and pink tones, as well as lavender, yellows and browns.
Just look at the way these contrasting colors blend seamlessly, creating a bold yet calming color palette. I love how colors found in nature go so well together.
They were "beautifully and wonderfully made"!
Can you imagine how this color scheme would translate into a room design?

Now for some softer Aquamarine color combinations!
