What counts as kelly green

Kelly Green
#158856

Kelly green is the bright, saturated middle green, the color most people picture when they say "green." It's clearly brighter than forest green, without the yellow cast of lime. The swatch shows our reference color, #158856: the median fabric color of every in-stock garment sold under a kelly green name. A colorway is listed on this page only if its measured fabric color is close enough to read as the same color side by side.

Suppliers sell the clothing on this page as Kelly, Kelly Green, Irish Green, Sport Kelly, Athletic Kelly and Vintage Green.

Who wears kelly green

It's a team and spirit color first. Marshall University calls its primary color kelly green, Notre Dame's athletics department uses Irish Green, and the University of Hawaiʻi lists kelly green as a secondary color. Outside schools, it's the default shirt color for St. Patrick's Day events and a common pick for youth sports leagues, Irish heritage groups and anything that needs to be spotted from across a field.

Bright green generally reads as energetic and upbeat rather than serious, which is why it turns up on event and team gear more often than on office uniforms.

Kelly Green in school colors

These schools use a kelly green in their official palettes. Each link has the official HEX, RGB, CMYK and Pantone values: Marshall University school colors, University of Notre Dame school colors and University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa school colors.

Printing and embroidery on kelly green

White and gold are the classic contrast colors on kelly green; black gives a bolder look. Mid-green and royal blue inks lose contrast.
