Varieties of the color [green](/source/Green) may differ in [hue](/source/Hue), [chroma](/source/Colorfulness) (also called saturation or intensity) or [lightness](/source/Lightness) (or value, tone, or [brightness](/source/Brightness)), or in two or three of these qualities. Variations in value are also called [tints and shades](/source/Tints_and_shades), a tint being a green or other hue mixed with white, a shade being mixed with black. A large selection of these various colors is shown below.

## Core definitions of green

### Green (sRGB)

Green (sRGB) Color coordinates Hex triplet #00FF00 sRGBB (r, g, b) (0, 255, 0) HSV (h, s, v) (120°, 100%, 100%) CIELChuv (L, C, h) (88, 136, 128°) Source X11 color names,[1] HTML/CSS[2] ISCC–NBS descriptor Vivid yellowish green B: Normalized to [0–255] (byte)

The color defined as *green* in the [sRGB color space](/source/SRGB) is approximately the most [chromatic](/source/Colorfulness#Chroma) green that can be reproduced on an average computer screen, and is the color named *green* in [X11](/source/X11_color_names). It is one of the three [primary colors](/source/Primary_color) used in the sRGB color space along with [red](/source/Red) and [blue](/source/Blue). The three additive primaries in the RGB color system are the three colors of light chosen such as to provide the maximum range of colors that are capable of being represented on a computer or television set.

Red, green and blue lights, representing the three basic [additive primary](/source/Additive_primary) colors of the RGB color system, red, green, and blue.

This color is also called *regular green*. It is at precisely 120 degrees on the [HSV color wheel](/source/HSV_color_space). Its [complementary color](/source/Complementary_color) is [magenta](/source/Magenta).

HTML/CSS uses the name *lime* for this color, using *green* to refer to a darker shade. See the chart [Color names that clash between X11 and HTML/CSS](/source/X11_color_names#Clashes_between_web_and_X11_colors_in_the_CSS_color_scheme) in the X11 color names article to see those colors which are different in HTML and X11.

## Green in biological nature

Main article: [Green § Biology](/source/Green#Biology)

Green is common in nature, especially in plants. Many plants are green mainly because of a complex chemical known as [chlorophyll](/source/Chlorophyll) which is involved in [photosynthesis](/source/Photosynthesis).[15] Many shades of green have been named after plants or are related to plants. Due to varying ratios of chlorophylls (and different amounts as well as other plant pigments being present), the plant kingdom exhibits many shades of green in both hue (true color) and value (lightness/darkness). The chlorophylls in living plants have distinctive green colors, while dried or cooked portions of plants are different shades of green due to the chlorophyll molecules losing their inner magnesium ion.

[Ireland](/source/Ireland) is sometimes referred to as the *Emerald Isle* due to its lush greenery. The May birthstone is emerald.

"Emerald City", from the story of *[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz](/source/The_Wonderful_Wizard_of_Oz)*, by L. Frank Baum, is a city where everything from food to people are emerald green.

An emerald pigment was invented in Germany in 1814. By taking acetic acid, mixing and boiling it with vinegar, and then by adding some arsenic, a bright blue-green hue was formed.[51] This toxic [inorganic compound](/source/Inorganic_compound) was marketed in England during the 19th century under the name [Paris green](/source/Paris_green).[52] Victorian women used this bright color for dresses, and florists used it on fake flowers. It became notorious for causing deaths due to it being a popular color used for wallpaper.[53]

**Celadon** [/ˈsɛlədɒn/](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English) is a pale greyish shade of green, or rather a range of such shades. [Celadon](/source/Celadon) originates as a term for a class of [Chinese ceramics](/source/Chinese_ceramics), copied by Korea and Japan. However, the name, which is European, may originate from the character Celadon in *[L'Astrée](/source/L'Astr%C3%A9e)*, a French pastoral novel of 1627, who wore a light green color.[64][65]

Celadon glazes were very common, with the green color being reliably produced from about the tenth century onwards; this was appreciated in Asia for resembling [jade](/source/Jade), the most prestigious material of all. The [glaze](/source/Ceramic_glaze) color comes from [iron oxide](/source/Iron_oxide)'s transformation from [ferric](/source/Ferric) to [ferrous](/source/Ferrous) iron (Fe2O3 → FeO) during the firing process,[66] but is affected by a wide range of other factors and chemicals, making the precise color very difficult to control. As well as green, a wide range of browns, yellows, greys and sometimes blues all count as "celadon".[47][67]

The source of *rifle green* is the Pantone Textile Paper eXtended (TPX) color list, color No. 19-0419 TPX—Rifle green.[88]

The first recorded use of *rifle green* as a color name in English was in 1858.[89]

Rifle green is so named from the distinctive color of the uniform of rifle regiments (a form of [light infantry](/source/Light_infantry)) of a number of European armies, and is still used as such by rifle regiments in many [Commonwealth](/source/Commonwealth_of_Nations) armies, such as [the Rifles](/source/The_Rifles) and [Royal Gurkha Rifles](/source/Royal_Gurkha_Rifles) of the [British Army](/source/British_Army) and the [Queen's Own Rifles of Canada](/source/Queen's_Own_Rifles_of_Canada).

Rifle green was originally adopted by rifle regiments in the 18th century, including the famous [95th Rifles](/source/95th_Rifles) of the [Napoleonic Wars](/source/Napoleonic_Wars). As the traditional role of riflemen was that of [marksmen](/source/Marksman) and [skirmishers](/source/Skirmisher) who attacked behind the cover of trees, a dark green uniform was adopted as an early form of [camouflage](/source/Camouflage), as opposed to the colorful uniforms worn by other soldiers of the period. The vegetable based dyes used during the 18th and early 19th centuries were not [fast](/source/Color_fastness), frequently fading after exposure to the elements to lighter shades of green or even brown. While this had advantages in terms of reduced visibility on active service, it did not make for a smart appearance on the peace-time parade ground. Accordingly, the color of the rifleman's uniform was progressively darkened until it approached black. After 1890 the development of chemical dyes permitted the adoption of the stable shade of rifle green now worn.

Dutch soldiers parading in rifle green uniforms

Rifle green was the official uniform colour of the [Canadian Forces](/source/Canadian_Forces) (CF) after unification; it was thereafter generally referred to as "CF green". After the introduction of the [distinctive environmental uniform](/source/Uniforms_of_the_Canadian_Forces#distinctive_environmental_uniforms) (DEU), rifle green remained as the uniform colour of the winter land environment DEU; a short-lived tan uniform was worn in summer. After the demise of the tans, the rifle green DEU was worn year-round. Rifle green was also the colour of the uniform worn by the Northern Irish [Royal Ulster Constabulary](/source/Royal_Ulster_Constabulary) (RUC) until 2001 where the RUC was renamed the [PSNI](/source/Police_Service_of_Northern_Ireland) and while the uniform color remained the same, terminology changed to "bottle green".[90] In the U.S. armed forces, personnel qualified as special forces soldiers wear a [green beret](/source/Green_beret), which has given them their nickname. Rifle green uniforms were issued to [Hiram Berdan](/source/Hiram_Berdan)'s elite [1st](/source/1st_United_States_Sharpshooters) and [2nd United States Sharpshooters](/source/2nd_United_States_Sharpshooters) during the [American Civil War](/source/American_Civil_War).

Rifle green is 19–0419 TPX in the Pantone palette, or hex code #444C38 in the [sRGB](/source/SRGB) color space, as shown above. Despite being referred to as bottle green in some contexts, Pantone rifle green is a distinct shade from [RAL 6007 Bottle green](/source/RAL_6007_Bottle_green).
