Psychology

Light greens read as fresh, organic and optimistic — mint, spring growth, and new beginnings.

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

A light green like this is most useful as backgrounds, cards, and large surface areas where readability of dark text is the priority. It recedes quietly, allowing content to take the lead.
