Jeanise Aviles, Color Expert at Seagull Salon:
My own vibe about green right now is this: the reason why I'm wearing it is that I need to lead with my heart. I need to be aware and conscious of my heart right now; green is the color of the heart and love chakra. There is so much uncovering in the world in terms of hate, secrets, and distortion, which is a lot to take. The green keeps me in alignment with acting and speaking with love. It's like a battle color that you can show your love power with. If I had to guess, I'd say that others are recognizing green in the world because the pink wave has turned over, and maybe it's more in your face; maybe it's environmental. It's the word on the street. I think it gets into people's brains as well. In my mind, and from what I'm seeing, it's a color that represents a spiritual fight against all we're trying to dismantle right now.
By this point, it seems that the presence of what we've been calling "slime green" is everywhere: from outfits and hair looks worn by Kim Kardashian and SZA to close-knit fashion circles to street style. In figuring out how these sorts of uber-popular color trends start (or how they continue), we thought it best to obtain an expert opinion, especially for a color this assertively vibrant.
