avocado green
Muted chartreuse variant
Avocado green is a muted yellow-green color resembling the flesh of an avocado.
The shade was ubiquitous in 1970s home décor, particularly for kitchen appliances and bathroom fixtures: an avocado green refrigerator, shag carpet in avocado green.
The color now evokes that era, sometimes nostalgically, sometimes as a design cautionary tale.
