[Color] Hooker's Green: "The color of leaves after the rain"
"The color of leaves after the rain"
Hooker's green is said to be a color
named after the botanical artist William Hooker.
When I looked up Hooker's botanical illustrations,
the designs were breathtakingly precise and beautiful.
And the greens used are so expressive.
He is truly an artist worthy of having a color named after him.
This is a transparent color that works well with water,
and it feels like it has many gradations.
The gradients are beautiful.
When dark, it looks like leaves glistening in the rain.
When light, it has a coolness like sea glass.
It is difficult to reproduce the color as seen with the naked eye,
but it feels like a green that is exactly in the middle,
neither leaning toward blue nor yellow.
