Forest Green #228B22

Forest green brings the outdoors in. It suggests trees, trails, and shade, so it reads as calm, stable, and rooted. It is deep enough to feel shaded but keeps enough brightness to look alive, like sunlight through leaves.

Because of that link to woods and parks, many outdoor, camping, and conservation groups use it. It also has a traditional streak and turns up in older sports team colors, school pennants, and holiday ribbons. Outdoor retailers and camping brands use it on logos, tents, and packs for the same reason.

Next to red, it becomes a Christmas color in many Western countries. On its own it feels serious enough for a bank and natural enough for a garden center, which is part of why it's used so widely.

Forest green is a solid brand color for outdoor gear, landscaping, sustainability, and financial firms that want a natural feel. In UI it works for headers, footers, and section backgrounds. White text on it is fine for large headings and bold buttons, but for long passages of small text a darker green gives cleaner contrast. It looks good with cream, tan, and gold for a traditional feel, or with crisp white for something fresh. In interiors, forest green walls or velvet sofas suit libraries and studies, especially with warm wood and brass.
