This hue is inspired by the golden-green tone of olive oil, the liquid essence pressed from ripe olives. Its color comes from natural pigments—chiefly chlorophyll and carotenoids—whose balance depends on the ripeness of the fruit and the method of extraction. Fresh, early-harvest oils often glow with a vibrant green hue from abundant chlorophyll, while riper olives yield warmer, golden shades rich in carotene. The resulting color has come to symbolize purity, vitality, and the Mediterranean landscape itself—capturing the light of the sun and the life of the olive tree in every drop.
