Psychology

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

🏛️

History

Scheele's Green, an arsenic-based pigment popular in Victorian wallpaper and clothing, is now understood to have caused widespread harm — a cautionary chapter in colour history.

Design use

🎭

Colour pairings
