📜 Origin & History

The popularity of Avocado Green began in the 1960s and 1970s in the United States, where this warm green with a noticeable yellow undertone quickly dominated the home appliance and interior decoration sectors.

As avocados gained popularity as a health food in the mid-20th century in America, the soft, unique color of its flesh gradually became a symbol of a lifestyle.

By the late 1970s, Avocado Green briefly faded due to overuse, replaced by cooler grays and whites, becoming synonymous with 'outdated'.

Entering the 21st century, with the return of Y2K and retro trends, Avocado Green regained the favor of designers, becoming a bridging color connecting nostalgia and modernity.
