Sap Green Color 849 - #507D2A

Sap green is a green pigment that was traditionally made of ripe buckthorn berries. However, modern colors marketed under this name are usually a blend of other pigments, commonly with a basis of Phthalocyanine Green G.

Rhamnus is a genus of about 150 species (fewer, if some species are placed in Frangula), which are shrubs or small trees, commonly known as buckthorns. It is part of the family Rhamnaceae. Its species range from 1 to 10 meters tall (rarely to 15 m) and are native mainly in east Asia and North America, but found throughout the temperate and subtropical Northern Hemisphere, and also more locally in the subtropical Southern Hemisphere in parts of Africa and South America.
