Our backyard hens lay the most beautiful eggs. In natural shades of blue-green and creamy-white, the eggs give me a little spring fever as I look forward to Easter and the gentle colors of spring.

Color Combo: Blues and Greens

Both cooling colors, blue and green make a dynamic duo. New beginnings, tranquility and growth often come to mind when we think of the pair. It’s also one of my favorite color combos.
