Green Algae

August 4, 2025

This hue is inspired by the earthy green of green algae, a diverse group of aquatic organisms found in both freshwater and marine environments. The color comes from chlorophyll, the same pigment that gives land plants their green hue, and is a key player in photosynthesis. Often seen floating in still ponds or clinging to rocks near shorelines, these simple organisms form the foundation of aquatic food webs, converting sunlight into energy while serving as nourishment for countless small organisms. Green algae represents life at its most essential: just sunlight, water, and a splash of color.
