Description

Green is a color produced by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of about 490–560 nm. It is considered a primary color in the RGB additive color model, but is a secondary color in the traditional RYB color wheel made by mixing blue and yellow. An average green color is represented by the following color coordinates:

- Hex triplet:  #008000  (HTML/CSS)
- RGB: (0, 128~255, 0); CMYK (0, 0, 0, 100) 
- HSV: (120°, 100%, 50~100%)

Examples of inorganic green pigments:

- earth green (Celadonite, Glauconite, Terre verte).
- oxides (Viridian, Chromic oxide, Chrome green, Cobalt green).
- carbonates (Malachite, Bice).
- other (Emerald green, Atacamite, Brochantite).

Examples of organic green pigments:

- plant (Sap green, Chlorophyll).
- synthetic (Verdigris, Phthalocyanine, Brilliant green).
