I mean, I like the color olive as much as the next guy. I do. It has a way of unobtrusively bringing out other, more vibrant colors. Back when I decorated my coloring calendars with pencil, I used olive all the time to highlight the other greens.

Take the following picture as an example. See how wonderful my avocados in their bright green bag look against my olive counter top?

It’s lovely.

So you’re probably wondering by now why this post comes across more like a rant than a celebration of the color olive.

The answer to that question comes again with my 1940s olive counter tops, scratched, scarred, and burned as they are.  And the fact that I reeeeaaaaly want to modernize my kitchen one day. Preferably before the 2040s.

So here’s to olive! Just not in my kitchen, please.
