dark green
Pine needle hue
Dark green is a shade of green with low lightness, closer to black than to white on the color spectrum.
It evokes forests, evergreens, and military camouflage.
Dark green appears in formal contexts—a dark green blazer—and carries associations with wealth, tradition, and environmental causes.
