kellanvihreä

Kellanvihreää is a Finnish color term describing a yellow-green shade. The word is formed from keltainen (yellow) and vihreä (green) and is used in descriptive contexts rather than as an official, fixed color standard. In Finnish color vocabulary, several colors in the yellow-green family are described with compounds such as keltavihreä or limenvihreä, and kellanvihreää is one way to refer to a bright, saturated point within this spectrum. As with many color names, there is regional and stylistic variation in how precisely the term is applied, and there is no universally codified reference shade.

In practice, kellanvihreää evokes brightness, vitality, and freshness. It is commonly used in descriptions of nature (for example, new leaves or shoots) and appears in art, design, fashion, and branding to convey energy or spring-like tones. The perceived hue can shift with lighting conditions, so what reads as kellanvihreää under daylight may be perceived as more lime-toned under artificial lighting.

Variations related to kellanvihreää include limenvihreä (lime green) and keltavihreä (yellow-green), which sit near the same region of the color spectrum but emphasize different balances of yellow and green. The term remains a descriptive, culturally contextual label rather than a standardized color specification.
