Take Your Houseplants for a Walk Day calls for Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Soft Sea Foam and Pecan Pie.

Even a houseplant parade has a cast of trailing pothos vines, bright houseplant leaves, terracotta pots, watering cans, sunlit windows and a rolling plant stand. Fresh greens suggest leaves tumbling from their pots, while the warm brown grounds the scene in soil and terracotta.

Together, the colors evoke fresh leaves, pale new growth and warm plant pots.

The balance of light and dark, warm and cool or quiet and energetic notes gives the combination enough contrast to stay clear while still feeling unified.
