Questions for Kimo: What color is Celadon?

 

 

 

Questions for Kimo: A friend and I are in a debate over what shade of green Celadon is, can you help?

 

Celadon is thought to be derived from the Sanskrit word sila dhara, which means stone green and it's history goes back many centuries.

 

 

 

 

 

Celadon, as we understand it today is more of a type of porcelain crackle glaze than a color but Celadon does indeed come in green and several other colors, as well, depending on where the porcelain comes from in Asia. 

 

 

 

"Celadons" as they are popularly called can come in blues, yellows, and blue greens but the most commonly collected are the greens.

As one can see in the photographs there are slight variations in the green tones so there is some room for debate but these examples are what I think of when someone mentions Celadon as a color.

 As a paint choice for interiors, Celadon can create a wonderful sense of serenity in a room paired with khaki or light beiges.
