What color is Jade Green?
Jade green is a medium, cool-toned green with a slight blue undertone, hex #00BB77, similar in depth to the surface of a polished jade stone. It is brighter and cleaner than forest green, with a clarity that makes it feel open rather than dark.
What is the meaning of the color Jade Green?
The name comes from the Spanish piedra de ijada, meaning stone of the flank, reflecting a belief that jade relieved kidney pain — a term that entered European languages through trade with the Americas and Asia from the 16th century onward. Jade stone itself held deep cultural importance in ancient China, where it was used in imperial burial suits and ritual objects as early as 3000 BCE. The color name was adopted in English to describe the characteristic green of nephrite and jadeite stones, both traded extensively along routes connecting China, Central Asia, and later Europe. Pantone listed Jade as a key color in its 2013 fashion color report, anchoring the shade in contemporary design.
