📜 Origin & History

The name Mars Green originates from the copper arsenite pigment discovered by Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele in the 18th century. Initially called 'Scheele's Green', it quickly swept across Europe due to its vivid hue.

In the late 19th century, the arsenic-based pigment was found to be toxic and gradually banned from interior decoration and clothing, yet its cool blue-green tone left a deep impression on the art and design world.

In 2017, British papermaker G.F. Smith held a global vote for the world's favorite color. A serene shade between blue and green, nominated by Annie Marrs, won the championship and was officially named 'Mars Green'.

Inspired by the deep waters of Scotland's River Tay, the color received votes from over 30,000 people across more than 100 countries, becoming an iconic event in contemporary color culture.
