📜 Origin & History

The popularity of Apple Green is closely linked to the prosperity of the global fruit trade in the mid-20th century; as a common fruit, the fresh, tender color of green apples took root in the public consciousness.

In the Pop Art movement of the 1960s, artists were keen on depicting everyday consumer goods, and the bright green of green apples became a signature color representing modern consumer society.

Japan's 'kawaii' culture emerged after the 1970s, and Apple Green, with its sweet-and-sour girlishness, frequently appeared in stationery, snacks, and shojo manga.

Entering the 21st century, Apple Green became synonymous with youthful vitality, carving out a unique niche in fast fashion and FMCG, conveying brand messages of 'freshness' and 'lightness'.
