I like avocado green
Yes, I know it's dated. Yes, I know it screams Brady Bunch. Yes, I know the 70s are calling and want their refrigerator back. Roll your eyes all you want, I like avocado green. It's soothing, it's earthy, it's warm and comforting.
Unlike say, 1950s/1980s turquoise or pink. Or 1970s/1990s oh-so-bland beige. I am sure these colors seemed like a good idea at the time, and if used judiciously, can look nice.
Sure, some objects should not be avocado green. Anything in the bathroom, for instance. In fact, everything in the bathroom should be either white, grey, silver or black, and if you really insist, maybe, MAYBE pink, or baby blue, but that's as far as I can stand, but you can't go wrong with white. You can add color with the towels, and change them with the seasons or your mood.
But avocado green is the color of living growing lush life itself, totally at home in the woods, and even in the desert or the mountains. Maybe not so much at the beach - yes, this I concede.
Colors that compliment avocado green are many and varied: Orange, brown, tan, red, silver, black, yellow, navy, lime, depending on what ambiance you're after. Have fun and to those poor souls who for whatever sad reason despise avocado green, we grieve with their misfortune and hope they will eventually find some help and healing and joy in their life.
