It's a GREEN DAY! Happy St. Patrick's to all!

If you're painting, especially landscape or other natural features, remember that viridian is not a "natural" green and should be considered a "mixing" color - that is, mix another color with it (unless you're painting an umbrella or a Folger's coffee can - then it's pretty close all on it's own).  The same goes for the pthalo green in acrylics.  On the other hand, green food and drinks - definitely the brighter the better!
