Yesterday I showed you a more traditional Thanksgiving color scheme - analogous colors red, orange, and yellow. Today's color scheme is still festive and beautifully autumn, but packs an unexpected lime green punch.
Though lime green is not one of the more obvious Thanksgiving color choices, it works beautifully with yellows and rusty orange-browns, and there are plenty of typical Thanksgiving dishes that can be spruced up with lime green to complete your table. Add green leaves or slices of pear or lime to the plate of turkey, and use fresh leaves of spices like cilantro or basil in your stuffing. Finally, serve vegetables like green beans and thin baby carrots (or puree them to make a delicious soup) for more pops of color.
For decoration, pick orange and green gourds, or cluster a bowl full of pears and lime green fabric leaves at the center of the table. Add names to pear stems to mark each person's spot at the table, and run a long lime green table runner underneath the groaning plates of food. In dim candlelight, and surrounded by green accents, glasses of white wine will look perfectly matched to the rest of your decor.
