The Deepest Natural Green
Glide 60350 Totem Green occupies the deep, rich end of the green thread spectrum -- darker and more subdued than the vivid Emerald (63425), with the depth and weight of deep forest shadow. It is the green for quilts where green should feel anchored and weighty rather than bright and vivid: traditional patterns on deep green backgrounds, forest and woodland themes, earth-toned scrappy quilts where green appears in the darker value range, and any application where Emerald reads as slightly too bright for the specific fabric value.
Totem Green vs. Emerald vs. Celery
The three key greens cover the full natural green spectrum. Celery (60580) is the softest, most muted sage-grey green for botanical and mixed palettes. Emerald (63425) is the vivid, saturated forest green for Christmas and jewel-tone work. Totem Green (60350) is the deep, rich, dark green for traditional deep-green backgrounds and forest themes where neither of the other options provides sufficient depth.
