shamrock green

Lucky plant shade

Shamrock green is a medium green with a yellow undertone, named for the three-leafed clover associated with Ireland.

The color evokes Irish identity and St.

Patrick's Day celebrations: The parade was a sea of shamrock green.

It sits between kelly green and grass green on the spectrum—bright but not neon, suggesting springtime growth.
