    Bonus points if you get the reference in the title, lol. Anyway, what I was thinking is how colors are often associated with eras. Colors aren't really trapped in any particular time and place, but some are so popular during certain eras, that they instantly trigger the association. In particular, threads on this site, a set of iridescent emerald jewelry made me think of the 60s, and a pottery color I related to the avocado 70s. And it brought me to think of items my grandmother owned, a vase and a mixing bowl, in a particular dreamy green that recalls the 50s for me. Whether or not they really are from that time period, only a true expert knows for sure. Whatever the era, I hope you enjoy looking at them!
