I think I would have to pass on that one., It has no zing anywhere. All the colors are ok, they just don't go together for me. To eachhis own I guess

I am not enamored of the colors either but I think in this case the green is acting as a neutral to set off the other colors. A different color green would , IMO, value wise, blend too much. too light and it blends with the white too bright and it competes with the blues and purples

I like the center, but not the border or color. Reminds me too much of argyle sock pattern. I actually like olive in the right place and am thinking of painting my house light olive with cream trim and brown porch floor. (It's a Craftsman bungalow.) Not sure what DH will think!

The overall effect is breathtaking. However, I agree with everyone that were you to look at the avocado green by itself, I probably would not select it.

I have a quilt that has purple flowers in it with kinda olive green leaves and I love it. Don't see anything wrong with purple and olive green.

I like the shade of blue and purple too. But, the green with them, I'm not so sure about.
