I love the color green, but designing with green is an entirely different story. Photographing something entirely green can be a nightmare. What looks gorgeous and verdant and vibrant to your eye, often comes out bland and blah and boring to the camera. So in today’s spotlight, I’m Green With Envy over these designs that look oh, so gorgeous in green!
