For Avurudu, green is the key color, there is a shade to flatter all skin tones. Green is associated with balance, nature, spring, and rebirth.

Don’t be afraid of neon it can be scary but it’s so much fun to wear. Start from the bottom up. The best foray into adopting this vivid color category is with the right accessory, think shoes, or a bag or bracelets.
EMERALD
One of my favorite shades of green, I would live in this color if I could! It looks particularly good when styled with strong purple tones for a regal palette that sparkles. Gucci has worked this pairing so beautifully from the early 2000’s and it never dates.
CLOVER
Deeper than blades of grass, but lighter than forest, this shade is just lovely. St. Patrick's Day has passed but you should still break out your more vibrant shades of green. And while you're at it, pair the look with an equally as vibrant accessory in another color. Let it steal the show though and don’t over power it. Pink pairs beautifully with this particular shade
KHAKI
Khaki is one of the most versatile hails from a lighter-toned branch of the green family, its brown undertones give this hue a natural feel which works best when worn with similarly earthy tones.
FOREST GREEN
Forest green makes feminine outfits appear more glamorous than girlie. This hue gives its wearer self-assurance and confidence. Pair this hue with navy, cranberry, plum or gray, or wear it head to toe for a glamourous look. However you decide to wear it, make sure you incorporate this versatile and glorious color into your wardrobe this upcoming year.
