Malachite is a vivid yellowish green shade with the HEX code #0BDA51.
It is highly saturated and very bright, and has a hue angle of 140.3 degrees, a saturation of 90.4% and a lightness of 44.9%.
Malachite is also the name of a mineral that has this color, and is often used as a gemstone or a pigment.
It is similar to azurite, another copper-based mineral, but has a more intense green color.
Malachite is a color that is often associated with nature, healing, and harmony, as it resembles the green of plants and forests.
This color can be used to create striking contrasts with complementary colors, such as magenta or purple, or to create a soothing effect with analogous colors, such as turquoise or lime.
Malachite has been used as a color descriptor in English since the 1200s, and derives its name from the Greek word "molochitis", meaning "mallow-green stone".
