Larch Green

[Alternative Future]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone would know the hex value of larch green and champagne, I am color blind and cannot for the life of me find anything online to help me produce this electronically.

Thanks in advance for all help.

From [tx4.us...] :

Champagne: #FAECCC / rgb(250,236,204)

I haven't found a reliable source for larch green, though...

Thanks encyclo,

Perfect start, larch green is the important one though :)

You could have a laugh and point me to a ridiculous green color as I would'nt have a clue hehe

Cheers again,

I've searched everywhere, and the only thing I could find was a reference to a 1977 Rolls-Royce in Larch Green in Google image search - but the original photo was missing.

You could try some of these:

[images.google.com...]

And use the color picker to choose the color which best suits your requirements, but this is a very imprecise way of doing it - and if you're colorblind, you will need help with choosing anyway!

encyclo,

Yeah that's all I seemed to turn up also an association with racing green and what the train used to be painted in.

Thanks again,

I found some (possibly) good references for you
here [search.yahoo.com].

One of my pet peeves. I purely HATE the way people name colors. "Larch Green" - what a meaningless description of a color.

When you can, always describe a color with a digital reference, a pantone swatch number, or include a sample. Would save folks a lot of trouble.

In design school, we learned to describe colors by hue/value/saturation in English speech (still pretty approximate), but most people would be baffled by that. Maybe English classes should teach color nomenclature. We need a language of color.
