leaf-green

Fresh spring shade

Leaf-green describes the bright, saturated green of healthy foliage in spring and summer—neither the pale yellow-green of new shoots nor the dark green of conifers, but the vivid middle green of a maple or oak leaf in full sun: a leaf-green sweater, walls painted leaf-green.
