#1CAC78
Crayola color
Overview
Crayola's green is a fresh, slightly blue-leaning green at rgb(28, 172, 120), hex #1CAC78. With green dominant and a notable blue component, it sits at 158 degrees on the hue wheel, strongly saturated and moderately bright — cooler and more teal-tinged than the darker CSS green keyword. It is one of the core colors of the Crayola crayon lineup. Where the web palette reserves green for a muted half-value and lime for the pure primary, the Crayola rendering aims for a lively, natural leaf-green suited to pigment. Its teal-leaning bias distinguishes it clearly from the muted CSS green keyword, and the color's strong saturation keeps it lively across the crayon's coloring surface.
Green (#1CAC78) in the Crayola system is a vivid, medium emerald-green, slightly more teal than the CSS green. This is the iconic 'Green' crayon generations of children have used for grass, trees, and leaves—clean, natural, and straightforward. It has a friendly, approachable quality making it effective in educational materials, organic branding, and fresh, modern design palettes.
