Green Color Combinations

Moegi, matsuba, tokiwa — botanical greens from young bamboo to evergreen.

Greens in the dictionary are organised by season + plant + age: moegi (the just-budding green of new shoots), matcha (powdered tea), matsuba (pine needle), tokiwa (the dark constant green of evergreens), wakatake (young bamboo). Each name encodes a moment in a plant's life cycle, not an abstract hue.
