Literary works often employ the color soft green to evoke a sense of natural tranquility and delicate vibrancy. In vivid depictions of nature, soft green appears as the tender hue of fresh grass, meadows, and new-born leaves, conjuring images of renewal and calm—as in scenes where it drapes expansive fields or carpets the earth ([1], [2], [3], [4]). At the same time, soft green adorns objects in domestic and decorative settings, such as a sweater, a carpet, or even an ambient light within a room, lending these environments an understated elegance and soothing atmosphere ([5], [6], [7], [8]). This dual usage highlights how the gentle, evocative quality of soft green can seamlessly bridge the natural world and human habitations, inviting readers to savor both the tactile softness of nature and the serene beauty of well-appointed interiors.
