Groengele

Groengele is a descriptive color term used in Dutch and some related languages to denote a hue that lies between green and yellow on the visible spectrum. The word combines groen (green) and geel (yellow) and does not refer to a single fixed shade, but to a family of tones that fall in the greenish-yellow range.

In practice, groengele covers hues that range from bright lime to softer chartreuse, depending on saturation and lightness. It is closely related to colors such as chartreuse and greensyellow in other color systems. In design and branding, groengele is valued for high visibility and a sense of vitality and freshness.

Common uses include safety signage, outdoor and sports branding, and nature-inspired palettes. In nature, groengele-like tones can be seen in new spring foliage, certain fruits, and flowers under specific lighting. The term is often employed descriptively in color discussions and design briefs rather than as a fixed standard color name.

In standardized color systems, there is no universally fixed value for groengele; designers may select hex codes near greenyellow (#ADFF2F) or chartreuse (#7FFF00) to approximate the look in digital media. The term serves as a locale-influenced descriptor rather than a rigid catalog entry.
