Psychology

Dark greens evoke dense forests, institution and permanence — think library walls, old maps, and military insignia.

History

The pigment verdigris — a green formed by the corrosion of copper — was widely used in medieval manuscripts and early oil painting, despite its tendency to darken over time.

Design use

Colour pairings

When it comes to colour harmony, for a natural palette, combine this green with terracotta, ochre, and warm cream. For a bolder approach, its complement — a warm red-magenta — creates immediate impact.
