There is something incredibly fresh and happy about celery green. I feel vindicated to know that I was right about the light in that room, too!

It is a dark room (heavy curtains on windows, facing east, dim lighting) but it always feels so *warm*. It's a bit darker than the green you are looking at, but I have often thought "I would paint my library this colour, if only I had a library."

I painted one of the - tiny and nearly lightless - rooms in our house in Rockport a celery color based upon the historic New England collection of paints. (Visit www.histornicnewengland.org to find their paint wheel if you don't have it already.) The color combination brought light into the room and never ceased to remind me of the nearby ocean. Katy:
