violetgreen

Violetgreen is a color name used to describe hues that lie between violet and green on the color wheel. It is not a standardized color in major systems such as HTML/CSS color names or Pantone, and its exact shade varies across manufacturers and contexts. In practice, violetgreen may describe a cool, desaturated blue-green with a hint of violet, or a more vibrant purplish-green depending on lighting and materials. In digital design, approximations may place violetgreen in a blue-green range with subtle magenta influences, while in pigments it can read as a muted teal with purple undertones. The term is most commonly encountered in fashion, interior design, and branding as a distinctive, nature-inspired hue rather than a precise color specification. Because perception of color shifts with illumination and adjacent colors, swatches should be viewed under the intended lighting conditions. See also teal, indigo, chartreuse, color wheel, and color theory. References are scarce; violetgreen is primarily a descriptive label used in designing palettes rather than a standardized swatch.
