a comic on Whose Line is it Anyway? said never wear green & gray during the course of an improv skit, and it has stuck with me for like 10 years but never really goaded me into getting a definitive answer. Now that I’m looking at green & gray through the train window from PDX to SEA, I need to know. Thanks!

Green is yellow and blue mixed. Gray is black and white. So gray is a cool tone and green is primary. I’m not sure since I never finished Theory of Colour by Goethe. I’ve never seen a clown wearing green and gray..Do people with gray hair look washed out in green apparel? I don’t think seascape applies to any rules of fashion or comedy.

Yes!!! It is a terrible combination! They are from two different color families green is normally considered a warm color and grey is a cool color. They clash.

Many many men wear gray suits and ties w.green in them. Day-glo kelly or 60s avocado probably not a good idea, but there are many subtle hues of greyed-greens. And I saw a new Honda wagon today in a very nice green; I am going to try to dupe it for kitchen tile backsplash.

Sorry ladies and gents, this is one of my pet peevs:
I am going to have to respectfully disagree with Adina1968. Its not true that green is normally considered a warm color. Firstly, there is no “green” there are hundreds of greens , not to mention all of their associated tints and shades. A green can be cooled if its heavy on blue content, or warmed if its heavy on red content. Grey is similar in that it can be either cool or warm, depending on the proportion of colors within. Grey is not actually just black and white, if not only because blacks come in warm and cool shades (peach black, ivory black, mars black)–this is why there are so many greys in any line of paint. Lastly, I say, matching and clashing is all about style, if it feels wrong to you, then it very week might be wrong. It depends on your skin tone, hair color and all the rest–I have a dark olive green suit that wear with a neutral shirt and a cool grey tie..to each their own.

I think it is all about your personal taste, personal style and coloring. Sometimes a color combination looks horrible on you, and then you see someone else wearing it and they look great! Down in south Louisiana you see some strange color combinations especially during football season. You see businessmen, attorneys etc. wearing purple and gold together even to work. Now that is a color combination. A professional guy in a purple suit with a gold ( yellow) tie all because it is football season and they are rabid LSU tiger fans! Like I said….it’s all about individual style preferences, and I guess…having fun with fashion!

Purple suit? Gold tie? I think all can agree that a businessman who wanted to be taken seriously could save the flashy collegiate colors for the weekend. Unless, of course, his potential client was a huge LSU fan.

Of course, who am I to talk? I’m rarely seen outside a pair of flip flops. Gotta love the Sunshine State!

@Poser: Most people live and breathe LSU football down here. I would say that any businessman would feel proud to wear those colors to a business meeting and would be taken very seriously, (maybe even more seriously…this is Louisiana….) wearing the purple and gold. Baby boys don’t wear blue here…at least not in football season…it’s the purple and gold…hahaI Seriously, I don’t mean they wear those colors everyday or even throughout the whole football season, but you do see those color combinations quite often. The purple may not always be bright purple, and the gold may not always be bright gold…but they are there. As for myself…I am a Tulane fan……I don’t mean any disrespect to the Tiger fans………….but I support Tulane! And yes….I am in a very small minority!

@Poser: LOVE the Gators! I play fantasy football in a league against my husband, cousin, brother and their friends. I am the only female player! My team’s name is Acadiana Alligators….my logo is the Florida Gator. My nickname is Mzgator, because my first year playing…I beat them all and went to the Superbowl. I have the tshirt, cap, etc…..Needless to say…they were not happy that I beat them and especially not happy that I did it with a Gator logo.

Being an author is not just writing letters and putting them into understandable words, phrases and sentences. To be an author is to make the lives of others a little easier and easier, to tell complex things in simple words, to dilute information with life and colors. I really like creative topics related to needlework, because I myself am fond of this business.

Brown-green color and combination with it

Brown-green color belongs to marsh tones. Combinations with it are unobtrusive, soothing, which are used in clothes and interiors.

This color can be called marsh, khaki or protective.
Green has many shades. We see them all the time, since our planet is all covered with plants. Warm, complex tones are much more common than pure and cold tones. The forest is always a mixture of trunks and leaves, brown-green shades in it are as natural as blue for the sky.
Brown-green shades, in addition to their significance in military equipment, are the heritage of rich antiquity: serious, prosperous, weighty.
If brown can be attributed to the mob, people close to the earth, in constant labor, then dark green is the color of fortune, gambling, complacency. Combining these shades, we get the color of the family estate, the inherited state. No wonder it was popular in English interiors. Today, this tone is rarely found in the interior, but fashion trends for 2015 recommend us to try a shade of brown-green in our environment (honeysuckle color).
Another side of brown-green is fabulousness. Fairies can be imagined in these colors: this is both vintage and the fulfillment of all desires, which are very often directly or indirectly related to money.

Shades of brown-green

Brown-green shades are built on the basis of yellow-green tones with a significant admixture of red. Their range fluctuates in a slight change in the balance of blue-yellow and red-green, as well as a small admixture of gray. In the Pantone color system for textiles, these shades would look like this:

Brown-green color matched

– with Alizarin (17-1553 TCX) (2) – Vibrant contrast of complementary colors. Green with red is a combination of “pull out your eyes”, but if you muffle the green and reduce the ardor of red, then this combination will not lose its expressiveness, but it will be much more pleasing to the eye. In addition, the vintage brown-green shade is much better friends with muted colors.

– Rosewood (17-1230 TCX)(3) – Soft contrast that barely draws attention. In combination with alizarin and brown-green, rosewood is the best choice.

Complete the combination with milk coffee, Inca gold and black tones.

Brown-green color in clothes

The most common use of this shade is in military echoes. It is mostly informal wear, but if you omit this, then the brown-green hue is a very favorable tone. Discreet, but expressive, it is good in the office and in an informal setting. Brown-green creates a confident, prosperous image, disposes to oneself, leaves a feeling of comfortable communication.
This shade will suit representatives of the spring, summer and autumn color types.

The color is successfully combined with many complex shades.

Brown-green interior color

The English style differs from the modern one by intimacy, an abundance of carved wood, fabric wallpapers, a lot of bookcases, souvenirs, and comfortable elegant upholstered furniture. If we shift this style to a modern twist, then we will have to abandon most of the wood carving and reduce the abundance of accessories. However, comfortable upholstered furniture can become a central part of the “picture”, especially if it is highlighted with color (which is rarely done, in fact, in traditional options).
