What is the meaning of the color Pastel Green?
Pastel colors as a category entered widespread decorative use in 18th-century Europe, where chalky, low-intensity tints were favored in Rococo interiors and fashion. Green pastels gained particular ground in the 19th century as synthetic dyes made soft greens easier and cheaper to produce for textiles and wallpapers. The association of soft greens with nature, calm, and health was formalized in hospital and institutional design through much of the 20th century, where pale green walls became a documented standard in many public health settings. Pantone recognized the cultural weight of soft greens when it named a close variant, Greenery, its Color of the Year for 2017.
