What Does the Color Kelly Green Look Like

Shades of Green Color with Names and HTML, Hex, RGB Codes

Green Shades

Most people would agree that there are seven colors in a rainbow. But how boring would life be if we only had seven colors to ever choose from and if we weren't allowed to combine colors together? Luckily, the world isn't as simple as it may seem. There are thousands of colors out there, with many colors being shades of one particular color. Not to mention that the shades of green color being used have grown substantially, with some variations having only existed since the late 1800s.

Whether you're looking for a specific shade you vaguely remember, or if you need to find matching colors for your design or website, there are almost endless options out there; half that you may not even be aware of. Below are a variety of shades of green color with names, Hex, RGB, and CMYK codes.

Forest Green

We all know what forest green looks like; it's a rich, deep color that reminds one of Evergreen trees. It's a nice dark shade if you're looking for a darker color for your design.

Forest green
Hex #0B6623
RGB 11, 102, 35
CMYK 89, 0, 66, 60

Olive

A color you may recognize if you're familiar with olives, like those infamous fruits (yes olives are fruits) we all know and either love or hate. Olive green shouldn't need much description for you to picture what it looks like.

Olive
Hex #708238
RGB 112, 130, 56
CMYK 14, 0, 57, 49

Hunter Green

Hunter green is a pale green. It's a mellow color that reminds one of a forest floor near the end of autumn; the grass isn't vibrant at this time of year and because of this lack of vibrancy, the grass can look pale. That's what hunter green can be described as.

RGB 63, 112, 77
CMYK 44, 0, 31, 56

Artichoke Green

You may be thinking that artichoke green has to look and have the exact same color as its aforementioned namesake, but artichokes are slightly brighter than this color. Artichoke green can look a little pale when you first see it, about a mix between gray and green, but incorporate it in your design and you'll find yourself staring at a soothing green color that can complement every element and style that exists.

RGB 143, 151, 121
CMYK 5, 0, 20, 41

Jungle Green

Jungle green is another color that you may think you already know the looks of without seeing it, but when you discover it, you realize that it's entirely different. Jungle green is a hard color to describe as the color can be all over the place, since there are even variations of jungle green itself. These include tropical rainforest, amazon, deep jungle green, medium jungle green, and dark jungle green. If you don't like the look of jungle green itself, color codes for the other shades are included below. Jungle green is used in the United States Army for the color of the uniforms and berets that are worn by the United States Army Special Forces.

Because jungle green is such a rich and versatile color, it can be utilized for almost everything.

Myrtle Green

As much as one would think that myrtle green is the appropriate word to describe the color Moaning Myrtle from the Harry Potter series living face would have taken if she needed to barf (yes, I'm a huge HP fan), this color is anything but that. Myrtle green is meant to represent the unique color that are the leaves of a myrtle plant. Myrtle is a genus of flowering plants that are native to the Mediterranean region of southern Europe as well as North Africa.

If you need an idea of what myrtle green might look like, the modern cricket caps worn by Australian test cricketers are dyed myrtle green.

Sacramento Green

Aptly named because of its use as the official color for California's Sacramento State University. While this color might not see much use outside of the official capacity for the college, it's a variation of green that you should know exist.

RGB 4, 57, 39
CMYK 93, 0, 32, 78

Hex #00A86B
RGB 0, 168, 107
CMYK 100, 0, 36, 34

RGB 79, 121, 66
CMYK 35, 0, 45, 53

Laurel green
Hex #A9BA9D
RGB 169, 186, 157

RGB 75, 83, 32
CMYK 10, 0, 61, 67

Kelly Green

Kelly green is a unique color that only seems to exist in America and was coined back in the early 1900s. Kelly green refers to the fact that the surname Kelly, along with the color green, are both popular in Ireland. Due to the fact that much of America's early history was made up by the abundance of Irish immigrants, the name grew to popularity in America.

Kelly green
Hex #4CBB17
RGB 76, 187, 23
CMYK 59, 0, 88, 27

Russian Green

Russian green has a similar history to some other variations of green that appear in this list. It got the name Russian green when it started being used as the shade of green worn by many regiments of the Imperial Russian Army, from 1700 to 1914.

Russian green

RGB 103, 146, 103
CMYK 29, 0, 29, 43

RGB 80, 200, 120

Hunter Green

Hunter green is a color that was mostly worn by hunters in the 1800s. However, most hunters changed and took to wearing olive-colored garbs rather than anything with hunter green by the 1900s. Today, some hunters still wear clothing or bandanas in hunter green.

Hunter green is the official primary color of the Green Bay Packers, as well as the New York Jets from a period of 1998 to 2019.

Celadon

Celadon is a shade of green that is grayish and pale in nature. It's named after a class of Chinese ceramics that made its way to Korea and Japan. Because Celadon has European linguistic roots, its name may have been derived from a character, Celadon, that appears in the work L'Astrée, a French pastoral novel that depicts life in an idealized manner for the reader. The character in the novel wore a light green color.

In the past, Celadon was used as a glaze in pottery; it was fairly common in Asia for its resemblance to jade.

RGB 172, 225, 175
CMYK 24, 0, 22, 12

Avocado

This is a lovely, deep green that isn't quite as dark as the skin of most avocados. However, if you want to inspire a sense of calm and even evoke the peace of a forest, this is a great color to choose for your next project.

Avocado
Hex #568203
RGB 86, 130, 3
CMYK 34, 0, 98, 49

Harlequin

If you like a neon, in-your-face green, this bright and exciting color is an excellent choice. While its highlighter-like glow may be too much for some projects, it's ideal for applications where grabbing attention is absolutely essential.

Harlequin
Hex #3FFF00
RGB 63, 255, 0
CMYK 75, 0, 100, 0

Spring

Spring is the season of new beginnings, and this delicate, pale green captures the idea well. Reminiscent of very new shoots and unfolding leaves, it's ideal if you want a lighter green that isn't quite a pastel.

Spring
Hex #00F0A8
RGB 0, 240, 168
CMYK 100, 0, 30, 6

Kaitoke

This deep green is reminiscent of vast forests, which seems appropriate. It's named for the Kaitoke Regional Park in New Zealand. For a darker green that still has a lot of energy to it, Kaitoke is an excellent choice.

Kaitoke
Hex #004830
RGB 0, 72, 48
CMYK 100, 0, 33, 72

Screamin' Green

From the name, you'd probably guess that Screamin' Green is a neon color. However, while it's fairly bright, it hasn't quite reached neon level. This color is a lot like seafoam green with a bit less blue.

Screamin' Green
Hex #76FF7A
RGB 118, 255, 122
CMYK 54, 0, 52, 0

Chateau

This dignified green makes a beautiful wall color if you prefer the slightly darker look. Paler and lighter than olive, Chateau also looks very nice when lightened to a paler green tint.

RGB 72, 168, 96
CMYK 57, 0, 43, 34

Dark Moss Green

If you're looking for a deeper green that approaches the level of a neutral color, Dark Moss Green might be your answer. At first glance, this brownish green looks unremarkable. But it offers a quiet elegance that makes it perfect for a backdrop, or even for a text color against a cream white background.

Dark Moss Green
Hex #4A5D23
RGB 74, 93, 35
CMYK 20, 0, 62, 64

Swamp

Let's face it, most of us probably aren't jumping to get a color called "Swamp." But if you can get past the drab name, Swamp is actually a pleasant gray-green that can be used as a neutral color in most applications.

Swamp
Hex #A8C090
RGB 168, 192, 144
CMYK 13, 0, 25, 25

Mantis

If you've ever been transfixed by the beauty of a praying mantis, you might appreciate this interesting green shade. Mantis is close to being a pale hunter green, and it's a good middle-of-the-road green shade. Not too light, not too dark.

Mantis
Hex #74C365
RGB 116, 195, 101
CMYK 41, 0, 48, 24

Fun

You might expect a green called "fun" to be a bright, neon-like shade. However, this green is surprisingly somewhat dark. It's roughly between a forest and hunter green. If you're looking for a nice dark green, this one is certainly an option.

Fun
Hex #007848
RGB 0, 120, 72
CMYK 100, 0, 40, 53

Pantone Artichoke Green

Distinct from Artichoke Green, this color comes from Pantone, the world-renowned color-matching company. Its grayish-green shade does get close to the color of the outside of an artichoke, too.

Pantone Artichoke Green
Hex #4B6F44
RGB 75, 111, 68
CMYK 32, 0, 39, 56

Viridian

Bluish greens tend to inspire a sense of calm, and Viridian does just that. This deep and peaceful green looks a lot like the ocean on a cloudy day. Its grayish quality makes it close to being a neutral, but not quite.

Viridian
Hex #609078
RGB 96, 144, 120
CMYK 33, 0, 17, 44

Reseda Green

This interesting shade is similar to Russian Green, but it's a bit darker. It gets its name from the plant Reseda odorata, and it is included as part of Germany's RAL color standard.

Reseda Green
Hex #6C7C59
RGB 108, 124, 89
CMYK 13, 0, 28, 51

Chetwode

Chetwode is a pale, barely-there green, but it's perfectly balanced. As you can see from the RGB values, it has almost equal amounts of blue and green. And if you're wondering about the unusual name, Chetwode has the same name as a small village in England.

Chetwode
Hex #F0FFF0
RGB 240, 255, 240
CMYK 6, 0, 6, 0

Shamrock Green

We all know of the shamrock, a good-luck charm and symbol of Ireland. And while most shamrocks have a bit more yellow in them than this green does, this shamrock green is nonetheless a pretty, sprightly green that can add some life to your project.

Shamrock Green
Hex #009E60
RGB 0, 158, 96
CMYK 100, 0, 39, 38

Verdun

Verdun is a city in northern France, and it's also the name of this interesting dark green. Despite its depth, Verdun manages to still be fairly energetic. This is thanks to its high yellow CMYK value. However, the relatively high amounts of black and blue stop it from becoming overly bright.

Verdun
Hex #487800
RGB 72, 120, 0
CMYK 40, 0, 100, 53

Castleton Green

This green is the official color of Castleton University in Vermont. It's a bluish pine green with a stately air to it, and it looks especially nice against white. If you're looking for a bluish twist on a classic color, this is a great option.

Castleton Green
Hex #00563B
RGB 0, 86, 59
CMYK 100, 0, 31, 66

Gin

This pleasantly pale green looks a bit like a diluted form of the color of juniper, the plant used to make gin. It's a grayish, almost khaki green that's ideal if you want just a touch of a neutral-like green.

Gin
Hex #D8E4BC
RGB 216, 228, 188
CMYK 5, 0, 18, 11

Granny Smith Apple

Just about everyone is familiar with the tart crispness of the classic Granny Smith apple. This slightly demure green, while it's a bit less yellow than most Granny Smiths, is nonetheless a great tribute. It's ideal if you like mint-like greens but want something slightly darker.

Granny Smith Apple
Hex #A8E4A0
RGB 168, 228, 160
CMYK 26, 0, 30, 11

Bitter Lime

Bitter Lime is an interesting twist on the classic lime green. And just like an actual lime that's on the tart side, this color has more yellow than blue. The result is an unusual color, but it's great for applications like advertising when you want a bright color without going to a near-blinding neon shade.

Bitter Lime
Hex #BFFF00
RGB 191, 255, 0
CMYK 25, 0, 100, 0

Bright Mint

Like Bitter Lime, Bright Mint is a twist on a classic green shade. Specifically, Bright Mint is a little more blue and a little brighter. The result is something that looks like a cross between turquoise and seafoam green. If you need a color that's eye-catching without being overwhelming, this is a great answer.

Bright Mint
Hex #4FFFB0
RGB 79, 255, 176
CMYK 69, 0, 31, 0

Bottle Green

As the name suggests, this color is similar to that of a dark green glass bottle (and especially close to the color of an older bottle). It's another bluish green, but it leans more to the blue side (as evidenced by the 100% cyan value).

Bottle Green
Hex #006A4E
RGB 0, 106, 78
CMYK 100, 0, 26, 58

Cadmium Green

Cadmium Green, sometimes also called Empire, is a bold and confident shade that's just a bit lighter than hunter green. It's deep without being overly dark, making it a well-balanced choice for most projects.

Cadmium Green
Hex #006B3C
RGB 0, 107, 60
CMYK 100, 0, 44, 58

Camouflage Green

There are practically as many camouflage patterns as there are terrains. But Camouflage Green (or a very close color) can be found in most. This is a unique, bluish-gray green that works as a neutral. It makes an excellent, quiet wall color, and it also looks nice in a lighter tint.

Camouflage Green
Hex #78866B
RGB 120, 134, 107
CMYK 10, 0, 20, 47

Pear

This pleasant yellow-green is almost exactly the color of a ripe Bartlett pear. Thanks to the K value (black), it's a little quieter than many yellow greens. If you want to evoke a spring-like atmosphere in your project, this is a great shade of green to consider.

Pear
Hex #D1E231
RGB 209, 226, 49
CMYK 8, 0, 78, 11

Dollar Bill

The color green is commonly associated with money, and Dollar Bill is a color that gets close to the green on the dollar bill. Its sage-like color gives it a classic, understated look, and it's especially pretty in paler tints.

Dollar Bill
Hex #85BB65
RGB 133, 187, 101
CMYK 29, 0, 46, 27

Inchworm

As a child, you might have noticed these bright yellow-green bugs inching slowly along in springtime. This cheerful bright green is slightly softened by a bit of black, making it a well-balanced shade that's ideal for a range of different projects.

Inchworm
Hex #B2EC5D
RGB 178, 236, 93
CMYK 25, 0, 61, 7

Asparagus

This sage-like green isn't really the color of asparagus, but it's nonetheless a classic, beautiful color that's well-suited to a variety of uses. Asparagus is slightly muted, and it pairs well with soft pinks and purples.

Asparagus
Hex #87A96B
RGB 135, 169, 107
CMYK 20, 0, 37, 34

Caribbean Green

Caribbean Green is just barely a green. Like the bright, clear waters of the Caribbean, this color is more of a blue with a hint of green. It's a great way to help create the idea of a warm, summery atmosphere.

Caribbean Green
Hex #00CC99
RGB 0, 204, 153
CMYK 100, 0, 25, 20

GO Green

This standout shade of green looks a bit like the needles of a blue spruce tree. It's a medium green in color, but its slight blue cast makes it a bit different from most colors on the list.

GO Green
Hex #00AB66
RGB 0, 171, 102
CMYK 100, 0, 40, 33

Phthalo Green

This oddly-named color is a synthetic green pigment that's frequently used to make oil and acrylic paints. Among the ingredients for the pigment are copper and the chemical phthalocyanine, which is where the name comes from. This deep green is almost exactly the same color as the pigment itself.

Phthalo Green
Hex #123524
RGB 18, 53, 36
CMYK 66, 0, 32, 79

Napier Green

This is an interesting bright-green color with a high amount of yellow. If you know about supercars, you might recognize the color as one that is sometimes used on McLaren cars. If you need a high-energy color similar to Kelly Green, Napier Green is a good one to look into.

Napier Green
Hex #2A8000
RGB 42, 128, 0
CMYK 67, 0, 100, 50

Feldgrau

If you're a history buff, Feldgrau may look familiar. This grayish green color was the official color of the uniforms of German soldiers from the early 1900s to the 1940s. If you need a stately gray with just a hint of green, Feldgrau is a good color to choose.

Feldgrau
Hex #4D5D53
RGB 77, 93, 83
CMYK 17, 0, 11, 64

Green-Yellow

Green-Yellow doesn't have a very exciting name. But the name does describe the color perfectly: it's a greenish yellow. As you can see from the CMYK values, it leans more yellow than blue, creating a bright and high-energy hue.

Green-Yellow
Hex #ADFF2F
RGB 173, 255, 47
CMYK 32, 0, 82, 0

Malachite

This beautifully balanced color is what most people likely picture when they imagine green. Though it has slightly more blue than yellow, Malachite offers a classic green that may well be the right color for your project.

Malachite
Hex #0BDA51
RGB 11, 218, 81
CMYK 95, 0, 63, 15

Rifle Green

This deep olive green gets its name from the fact that it (or colors like it) is sometimes used as the uniform color for rifle regiments. It's an ideal choice if you need a darker color but don't want to go for the more typical black or plain dark gray.

Rifle Green
Hex #444C38
RGB 68, 76, 56
CMYK 11, 0, 26, 70

Volt

Even the name of this color suggests high energy. And as you may have guessed, Volt is one of the yellowest greens on the list. With a yellow value of 100 and a cyan value of 19, its brightness is tempered just enough. Still, if you need a shock of near-yellow for your project, Volt is certainly an option.

Volt

CMYK 19, 0, 100, 0

British Racing Green

As you've likely figured out from the name, British Racing Green is the official color of the United Kingdom's motor racing. It's a deep green that looks a lot like both hunter and forest greens.

British Racing Green
Hex #004225
RGB 0, 66, 37
CMYK 100, 0, 44, 74

Thyme

The name of this shade of green is somewhat deceptive. While it's close to the shade of natural thyme, it has a bit more yellow. Still, it's a versatile color that's similar to Kelly Green.

Thyme

RGB 94, 220, 31
CMYK 57, 0, 86, 14

Chartreuse

This bright greenish-yellow is named after a green or yellow French liqueur that has been made since the 1700s. It's a great option if you are looking for an almost-neon shade of green.

CMYK 50, 0, 100, 0

Corn Green

Most of us likely don't think of corn when we imagine the color green. However, this dusky greenish-yellow is just about the exact color of the leaves that cover an ear of corn. If you need a shade of green that's light and yellow-heavy without being overly bright, this is a great candidate.

Corn Green
Hex #71A92C
RGB 113, 169, 44
CMYK 33, 0, 74, 34

Shrek Green

Many shades of green are named after things in nature, but Shrek Green gets its name from the popular animated ogre. It's an unusual mixture of yellow-green and olive, but if you want something that breaks the mold, it's a great choice.

Road Sign Green

This relaxed blue-green is meant to resemble the colors of some road signs. As you can see from CMYK values, it leans heavily blue as opposed to yellow. This makes it a better choice if your project features primarily cool colors, or if you need a cooler color to balance out a too-hot color scheme.

Girl Scout Green

If you've ever bought Girl Scout cookies, then you're familiar with the green and white logo for the Girl Scouts. But even for other design purposes, this classic and distinguished green is a wise choice. Pair it with white for an elegant look, or pair it with pale pink to make it really pop.

Spring Bud

Chinese Green

This unusual green looks, at first glance, more like a yellow-brown. However, it has an almost jewel-tone look to it, and it pairs well with deep reds. While Chinese Green likely would not be considered a true neutral, it's somewhat close.

Arctic Lime

Crayola Yellow-Green

This color, which is in similar vein to lemon-lime, is the same color as Crayola's yellow-green crayon. It's sure to bring back memories of coloring as a child.

Maximum Green

Like a few other shades on the list, Maximum Green is close to the classic idea of green most people have in their heads. It's a bright, strong green with just enough depth, and it works well in a variety of applications.

Vivid Lime Green

Lime green is more than just one shade. From Arctic Lime to Vivid Lime Green, you can find it in seemingly endless iterations.

Pistachio

This color is named after everyone's favorite green nut, and it's about the color of pistachio ice cream. It's a great choice if you want a medium-light green that isn't overly bright. Since it's tempered by black, this shade of green is a little muted, although not as much as the various shades of olive green.

Dartmouth Green

Many colleges have colors involving some form of dark green. This particular shade is the official green of Dartmouth College, an Ivy League college in New Hampshire. The official Dartmouth colors are white and Dartmouth Green. Side-by-side with white, Dartmouth Green creates a pleasing contrast.

Pine Needle Color

Every so often, you run across a shade of green whose name doesn't really seem to match up. Pine Needle Color is one of those shades. It's much more brown than you might expect. Its deep, dark color is partially explained by the high percentage of black compared to yellow and green. If you want a neutral color that has some green in it, the unusual Pine Needle Color is worth considering.

Olive Drab

Despite its unappealing name, Olive Drab is actually a fairly nice color. It's slightly lighter than many olive shades, and it's just about exactly the color of a manzanilla olive. If you like olive greens but want one you don't see too often, Olive Drab is a good choice.

Lawn Green

Lawn Green is somewhat close to Chartreuse in color, making it a lot brighter than many people's lawns. However, it's close to the color of grass when it's illuminated by falling light.

Xanadu

At first glance, Xanadu looks more like slate gray than any shade of green. However, as you can see by RGB values, it still does have a relatively high proportion of green. But thanks to also having a good bit of black (as shown in the CMYK values), Xanadu has a largely gray appearance. If you're looking for a distinctive, uncommon neutral, this is a great one to consider.

Office Green

Office Green looks similar to John Deere Green, even though the name would suggest that it's best for the indoors as opposed to outdoors. Office Green is one of the most balanced greens on the list. As you can see by the CMYK values, it contains an exactly equal amount of blue and yellow, and then it's darkened by the presence of black.

Limerick

This whimsically-named green looks fairly similar to many of the yellow-greens and lemon-limes on the list. Like Irish Green, it inspires images of rolling hills and sunlight, as it's a grassy green with a fair bit of yellow. If you like the various shades of lime on the list but want something a bit darker and less fluorescent, Limerick is a color you may want to consider.

Maximum Green Yellow

If Limerick is the color of grass, then Maximum Green Yellow is the color of dried, yellowed grass in winter. It's an unusual shade that looks a bit like an olive green with a significant amount of yellow added. Due to its almost-golden appearance, it pairs very well with deeper shades of blue.

French Lime

As you've seen, many of the shades of lighter green have names involving lime. And while it might seem like this one is named after a species of lime native to France, that's not the case. This shade appears on several French color lists where it's simply called "lime." So to differentiate it from the many other shades of lime, it was called "French Lime."

Medium Spring Bud

Not to be confused with Medium Spring Green, Medium Spring Bud is a color that looks roughly like a lightened combination of olive and sage.

It isn't really clear why this color is called UFO Green. After all, there's nothing particularly otherworldly about it. In fact, it looks a lot like green grass. But if you're looking for a somewhat bright, relatively balanced green with slightly more blue than yellow, UFO Green is a good choice.

Chlorophyll Green

Chlorophyll allows plants to take energy from light, and it's a key part of photosynthesis. And since chlorophyll is a green pigment, it makes sense that a shade of green would be named after it. Chlorophyll Green is a bright color similar to neon green.

Green Lizard

When it comes to naming green colors, there's no shortage of plants and animals for inspiration. This color, Green Lizard, is roughly the color of an anole, which is a small green lizard. Though Green Lizard is fairly bright, it stops short of being neon, making it much easier to look at.

Pullman Green

When you first look at Pullman Green, you might think it's simply a very dark brown. However, it's actually an incredibly deep olive color. The name comes from the Pullman Company, a railroad car manufacturer that operated during the American railroad boom. Its cars were painted this very deep olive green. Originally, the cars were painted chocolate brown. Once the official color was changed to Pullman Green (originally called Brewster Green), the cars continued to be painted in Pullman Green until the company went out of business.

Speaking of spring greens, this is one of the more unusual variants. Dark Spring Green is, as the name suggests, a darker version of Spring Green. But it's so dark that most people likely wouldn't consider it to be a spring green.
