About Pine Green
Pine green, #01796f, is green pulled toward teal and darkened to needle depth — cooler than forest, richer than sea green. It is the evergreen’s color: the green that survives winter.
History
Pine tar, pine forests and Nordic design gave the color its cold-climate credibility; Crayola’s "pine green" fixed the deep blue-green, and the wintergreen-and-conifer palette made it Christmas’s serious alternative to bright green.
Psychology
Pine reads resilient, calm and evergreen — endurance in color form. It carries forest’s trust with a colder, more premium edge.
In design
Pine is a text-capable deep green (6.4:1 on white) and a luxurious dark surface under gold and cream. Pair with terracotta, mustard, blush and warm woods. Spa, apothecary and heritage-outdoor brands favor its cool depth.
In culture
Pine forests, pine tar soap, Norway pines and the pine that scents every winter cleaning aisle: the tree’s resilience became the color’s promise.
