10+ Chartreuse Color Ideas to Brighten Your Dreariest Spaces

10+ Chartreuse Color Ideas to Brighten Your Dreariest Spaces

Creative takes on a one-of-a-kind shade.

Smooth like the liqueur, yet zingy and energized, the color chartreuse packs a serious punch. Named after the beloved herbal French liqueur, chartreuse is the color directly between green and yellow. When chartreuse was introduced as an official color, The Domestic Monthly (1885) originally defined it as such: “The delicate, pale green, with a yellow tinge, entitled 'Chartreuse,' is a rival to the renewed apple green.” Some things have changed since the 1800s, and with the color's ever-evolving definition (is it technically green or yellow?), many acknowledge two versions of the shade: chartreuse yellow (traditional), and chartreuse green (updated). Regardless of these distinctions, one thing is for sure: if it isn't already, chartreuse should be on your radar this year. With many moments in the limelight, the citrusy hue has become a marker of high fashion and timeless style, from the cocktail dresses of the Roaring 20s to the mid-century modern furniture designs of the 40s and 50s, to the psychedelic shades of the 70s, all the way into 2020. Etsy even declared chartreuse their color trend of the year due to its high search volume across the board.

Enlightened? Intrigued? Looking to bring this color into your own spaces? Scroll down to see how this sumptuous shade stands out in some of our favorite homes, and see how to get the look for yourself.
