This hue is inspired by the green of a jalapeño pepper, a staple in Mexican cuisine known for its balance of heat and flavor. The color comes from chlorophyll, which remains vibrant while the pepper is fresh and unroasted. As jalapeños mature, they turn red, but it’s the glossy, deep green stage that’s most recognizable, especially sliced into salsas, nachos, or pickled in jars. A color with a little kick, and a lot of flavor history.
