I just had to share this lovely funerary memorial from the early 17th Century because of the wonderful shade of green.  Despite all the deaths being in the early to mid 1620's, the clothing suggests a much earlier date (1590-1610).  This is common with memorials like this as they were done before the person died to make sure the individual actually liked it.  ;-)

I know we've done threads on individual colors before (Pink, orange, red, ect) but I think we need one thread for all the colors!

Wonderful idea for a thread, because I think a lot of people limit their palette more than they need to. :)

I love the teal of Mary's dress.  You can see a hint of green in the cherub's wings to compare the colors.  Joseph's cloak looks to be a faded reddish coral color.
