69. Light Green
HTML Hex for Light Green is #90EE90
Light green is a light tint of green.
Green is common in nature, especially in plants. Many plants are green mainly
because of a complex chemical known as chlorophyll which is involved in
photosynthesis. Many shades of green have been named after plants or are
related to plants. Due to varying ratios of chlorophylls (and different amounts
as well as other plant pigments being present), the plant kingdom exhibits many
shades of green in both hue (true color) and value (lightness/darkness). The
chlorophylls in living plants have distinctive green colors, while dried or
cooked portions of plants are different shades of green due to the chlorophyll
molecules losing their inner magnesium ion.
