#008000

CSS color

Overview

A frequent source of confusion, the CSS keyword green is not the pure additive primary but the darker rgb(0, 128, 0), hex #008000 — a green held at half brightness. The fully lit additive green primary is instead named lime in CSS. Green occupies the 120-degree position on the hue wheel and is one of the sixteen basic HTML colors inherited from the original web palette. Sitting between yellow and cyan in the spectrum, it is the channel to which human vision is most sensitive, which is why green contributes the largest share of perceived luminance in most color-weighting formulas. Its restrained value makes it a common choice for text and interface accents where the brighter lime would be visually harsh.

Green (#008000) is the pure mid-range green of the CSS named color set, a fully saturated medium-depth green at exactly half luminosity. It is one of the three primary colors of the RGB model and carries universal associations with nature, health, growth, and ecological responsibility. In web design, it is used for success states, environmental branding, and natural product identity.
