Lincoln Green Color – #195905: Codes and Complete Breakdown

Lincoln Green is the cloth Robin Hood’s men wore, dyed in the medieval wool town of Lincoln by dipping wool in blue woad and then yellow weld. The name first turns up around 1510 in A Lytell Geste of Robyn Hode, where the men “kest away their gray” once clothed in Lyncolne grene, and the 18th-century ballad Robin Hood’s Garland has Robin dress “his men in Lincoln green, and himself in scarlet red.” The digital Lincoln Green color (#195905) is a deep, true forest green.
