Wasabi Green Spaces That Wow
Yellow-Green is an Attention-Getter on Home Backdrops and Accents
If you're looking for a unique, eye-catching color that will add drama to your home, wasabi green may be just what you're looking for. Also referred to as chartreuse, pear green, and acid green among others, this yellow-green hue is hotter than ever. Some color experts speculate that the movie character Shrek started this craze a few years back. In addition, more homeowners want to create spaces that have a retro feel, in which Wasabi green would definitely be a nod to the avocado green of the '60s and '70s. Whatever the reason for this trend, Wasabi green is fun, lively and speaks to the hearts of bold color lovers everywhere.
An all-white space gets an unexpected dose of color, making this room far from appearing too sterile.
