What is the meaning of the color Pear?
English first recorded pear as a color name in the early twentieth century, tied directly to the fruit’s distinctive yellow-green skin. The name gained broader use as synthetic dyes allowed textile manufacturers to reproduce the color reliably and consistently in fabric production. Pantone formalized the color in its color-matching system, giving designers and printers a fixed reference point for the shade. Pantone 380 C is the closest standardized match and has been used in sportswear and graphic design to signal energy and freshness.
