Radiant green leaves

A clear, bright shade of green with cool freshness and noticeable energy.

Laitue 786 is an intense, cool-toned green with medium to high luminosity and striking saturation. The hue is reminiscent of young leaves under artificial light, appearing clear, artificially sharpened, and yet vegetal. Its presence is vibrant, alert, and decidedly modern. Psychologically, it represents impulse, experimentation, and precise focus, rather than tranquility or contemplation. In compositions, this expressive color sets accentuated signals and shifts familiar associations with nature into a contemporary, almost digital, realm of perception.

"Laitue" is the French word for salad. This green evokes the radical colors of the early avant-garde, neon signs, and experimental stage designs, where green embodies not only nature but also artificial energy. In fashion, this shade is always found where movement and speed are to be emphasized. In decoration, it unfolds its effect primarily as an accent against calm, muted neutral tones. In combination with cool grays, deep black, crisp white, chrome, or stainless steel, it creates an environment with high design aspirations.
