What is the meaning of the color Evergreen?
Recorded as a color name in English by the early 20th century, evergreen takes its reference from conifers and other plants that hold their leaves through winter. The association with permanence and renewal made it a natural choice in branding and institutional design. The U.S. National Park Service has used deep evergreen tones in its visual identity since the 1970s to signal conservation and natural heritage. Starbucks adopted a closely related shade of deep green as its primary brand color, anchoring the color firmly in global commercial recognition.
