Pistachio #93C572

Pistachio is a food color first. The nut, along with pistachio gelato and ice cream, gives it a sweet, indulgent association, and it shows up often on bakery and dessert packaging. Pistachio gelato is a standard flavor in Italian gelaterias, and versions made without added coloring are a duller, browner green than the bright tubs some shops sell.

Pistachios have long been grown in the Middle East and Central Asia and are used in sweets across those regions. In Western design, though, pistachio is mostly read through dessert and spring.

It's lighter and warmer than mint, with a yellow lean that makes it feel approachable. People see it as fresh, cheerful, and a bit retro. In fashion it often appears in spring collections as a softer option than mint or sage.

Pistachio suits dessert shops, cafes, skincare, and lifestyle brands that want something gentler than bright green. Dark text such as charcoal, chocolate brown, or deep green reads clearly on it; white text is weak. It pairs well with pink, cream, and chocolate brown, which play up its sweet side. On websites it makes a friendly section background or card color. In interiors, pistachio kitchens, tiles, and upholstery have a retro charm, especially with white and natural wood. Social posts with pistachio backgrounds look fresh beside food photography.
