42 Shades of Green was such a fun post to compile! First, I started researching 42 shades of the color green and ended up with 42 things that are green in other ways, including color. So, I was at a crossroads with a conundrum – what to choose, what to choose? Do a post on 42 Shades of Green that are the actual colors of green OR do a post about things that are green or have “green” meaning?
Why choose when you can do both!
