What color is Pistachio?
Pistachio is a soft, muted green with a slight yellow warmth, hex #84B067, similar to the inner flesh of a ripe pistachio nut. The color has a dusty, faded quality that keeps it from reading as a bright or vivid green.
What is the meaning of the color Pistachio?
Named directly for the pistachio nut, the color entered English use in the early 20th century as the nut became more familiar in Western markets following increased Mediterranean and Middle Eastern trade. Pistachio green appeared in American interior design by the 1950s, when it became a popular choice for kitchen appliances and tiles during the pastel-heavy postwar decorating era. The shade was adopted by gelato and confectionery brands in Italy to identify pistachio-flavored products, grounding the color firmly in food culture. Pantone has included pistachio tones in multiple seasonal palettes, most recently reinforcing its association with understated, nature-adjacent style.
