Description
How did Hooker’s Green get its name? The colour is named after English botanical illustrator William Hooker, though is doubtful whether he invented Hooker’s Green himself. Many sources date the first recorded use of the colour to between 1850 and 1855, at least fifteen years after his death, so it's likely that it was named in his honour rather than created by him.
