Whitegreen

Whitegreen is a term used to describe a color or design concept that combines white with green. It is not a standardized color name in major color systems, but it appears in styling and branding as a descriptive shorthand. In color palettes, whitegreen can refer to a pale green color that approaches white in light, or to a two-tone scheme pairing white with green. The effect is often intended to evoke freshness, cleanliness, and a connection to nature. The exact shade or balance is typically defined by context, usage, and cultural perception.

In horticulture, white-green describes variegated plant leaves that display white and green patches. Variegation arises from genetic or cellular differences and is cultivated for visual interest, light management, and ornamentality. White-green patterns can be marbled, speckled, or occur as margins around green centers; responses to light and temperature can influence the intensity of white areas. Many ornamental foliage plants feature white-green variegation, and growers often propagate clonal material to preserve patterns.

In branding and media, whitegreen schemes are common for products and organizations associated with ecology, health, or minimalism. The combination supports a perception of purity paired with natural vitality. As a descriptive term, whitegreen appears in design briefs, product descriptions, and color swatches rather than as a universal color designation.
