Green is a quiet yet elegant color. It's also my favorite color.
A true green is the color of a grassy lawn or bottle green, but it takes on many forms. The palest green is the pastel, mint. Pistachio is equally light, but it's got some beige in it, while jade has grey. Celadon is a deeper, considerably muted, version of mint. Sage is very muted light green, with plenty of grey tones. Lime is a bright yellow-green, while chartreuse is an almost acidic lime. Apple green or spring green captures the shade of new leaves, somewhat on the bright side. Sea green is a medium green with a touch of blue. Pea green is of the same intensity, however, it's neutral and somewhat muted. Peridot has a slight yellowish cast to its medium depth. Kelly green is a very bright medium green. Avocado is a darker, muted version of pea green. Leaf green is a luscious color that's somewhere in between olive and pure green. Moss is a soft medium-deep green, olive is a browned version of moss, often "warm", while loden or army green is even more brown than olive. The jewel tone is called emerald. Teal is a medium to deep blue-green. Forest green is neutral, but quite deep. Evergreen is even deeper, and slightly cool, while pine is a little softer.
