Olive: Colour Inspiration of the Month
My colour inspiration of the month for November is olive. Muted and understated, this shade of green has dark yellow or grey undertones. Olive is what we’d call a pseudo-neutral – a colour that pretty much goes with everything. Named of course after the sharp and tasty little olive fruit, psychologically the colour represents peace (offering an olive branch), strength and care. Great with shades of yellow, purple, pink and brown, olive is a great option for a staple winter coat or jacket.
