Granny Smith Apple Green

For the last few years orange has been the new hot color. While outlet shopping in Manchester Vermont three years ago a sales woman told me that a "New Yorker told her (so it must be true) that orange was the new black". If that was true then granny smith apple green is the new orange

Usually fashion dictates decor. What I mean by that is whatever you see on the fashion runway and then on the streets in one year translates to the new hot interior design craze.  I have noticed many "green" trends in terms of eco-friendly interior design. I have even noticed "green" trends in fashion design. What I haven't seen is granny smith apple green on the runway. None the less it is showing up in all the design magazines and on many Interior Designer's radar screen. In fact I am currently using it as the primary accent color in a beachy bedroom I am working on right now.

So if you are looking for a change and want to be on the cutting edge.....think green in more ways then one.
