grass stain

Chlorophyll on clothes

A grass stain is a green or yellowish mark left on fabric after contact with grass, notoriously difficult to remove from clothing.

The term often evokes childhood play or outdoor activity: His jeans were covered in grass stains from sliding into home plate.

Grass stains on the knees suggest rough-and-tumble behavior.
