It's almost that time of year again, Masters Week. The time, in my household, where the tv can't be turned away from the tournament play or you risk certain death! I grew up with my dad & brother both being Golf Fanatics and then I married someone who was actually Even Worse! It's hard not to get caught up in the biggest week of the year for golf lovers.
Even if you aren't a big golf fan, it's captivating to watch the Masters on TV. Better yet, to walk the course and follow your favorite players or sit at your favorite hole and watch each group come thru.. the energy is electric!
When I was thinking of this Color Connection series for my blog, I was thinking of how we really sometimes connect with a color thru a sense of place. For this first post on Color Connection, I immediately thought of Masters Green. Masters Green, is it a color? Well, over the years I've certainly had design clients use the words to describe the shade of green they were going for in their space. Is it simply the green of the Victory Jacket worn by the winners of the tournament or is it also represented by the rich shades of greens found in the lush landscape of the Augusta National golf course? My theory is that it is probably a mixture of both. Some people identify with the green of the jacket, while I suspect that others were referring to the fresh greens from the perfectly manicured grass or the green leaf of the blooming azaleas and the flowering dogwood. Either way, it's a good color and you can't go wrong!
Let's dig deeper into the jacket! Did you know it has it's own Pantone Color?? Yes! It's Pantone Color number 342U. So, If your idea of Masters Green is the color of the jacket & you want that specific color in your home...now you have the exact match. Isn't that awesome? It's the actual match to the color of the wool thread that is made for the jacket.
