Color Spotted: Bummer Green

Profile on the reemergence of this darn we say odd color, by Emily Yoshida for SSENSE. Yoshida writes, “In a mystery zone that isn’t quite seafoam, nor neon, nor the cheerfully unnatural glow of terminal green. “Mint green” feels like a euphemism; if it is a mint it’s artificial spearmint, with all the throat-clinging bitterness that entails. It’s technically verde, but it’s the most un-verdant green on the color wheel.” We embrace most colors, but we side with Yoshida on this one. Gucci and Billie Eilish can pull it off for this moment in time, but for the rest of us mortals, it really is either an inexplicable throwback to vintage kitchen bowls, Betty Ford (loved the color!) or one of the bad St. Patrick’s Day hues that just should not show up at all. To each his own, but come on. : (
