What is the meaning of the color Hunter Green?
English hunting culture of the 19th century gave this color its name, as gamekeepers and hunters wore dark green clothing to blend into woodland landscapes. The color appeared in British sporting dress by the mid-1800s, when field and hunt attire became associated with landed gentry and outdoor sport. It later crossed into American sporting and institutional wear, adopted by programs such as Dartmouth College, which uses a similar deep green as its official color.
