Gulgrön

Gulgrön is a color name used in Swedish to describe hues that lie between yellow and green on the visible spectrum. It denotes a family of tones rather than a single, precisely defined shade, with differences in lightness and saturation depending on the context.

Within color systems such as RGB and CMYK, gulgrön covers a range that includes chartreuse and lime-green. A common reference point in digital color is chartreuse (#7FFF00 in HTML/CSS), which sits in the yellow-green region; gulgrön can be lighter or darker than this depending on the palette.

In design and branding, gulgrön is often associated with freshness, growth and vitality. Its high luminance makes it highly noticeable, which is why it is used in nature-themed imagery, spring campaigns, and certain safety or attention-grabbing contexts, though it is typically less intense than pure lime or neon greens.

Perception of gulgrön varies with light and saturation, yielding variants such as pale gulgrön, true gulgrön, and darker, olive-like gulgrön. The term is part of a broader family of yellow-green colors, alongside lime, chartreuse, and green-yellow.
