Larkgreen

Larkgreen is a color name used in various design palettes to describe a green shade that evokes elements of lark plumage or fresh spring foliage. It is not a universally standardized color in major color systems, so its exact appearance can vary between sources and products.

In practice, larkgreen is described as a mid-tone green with warm undertones that can range from yellow-green to olive-green. Lighter renderings may read as lime or chartreuse, while darker interpretations approach forest green. Because the label is not standardized, different manufacturers and color libraries may present noticeably different swatches under the name larkgreen.

Applications for larkgreen appear in branding, interior design, fashion, and horticultural catalogs, particularly within nature-inspired palettes. It is often used to convey energy, renewal, and ecological friendliness. For precise communication, designers typically specify exact color values through hex codes, RGB, or other color systems rather than relying solely on the label.

The name derives from the lark, a small open-country bird, and is associated with open fields and natural coloration. Larkgreen sits within the broader green family and is related in discourse to other descriptive greens such as olive green and lime green.
