Have you noticed the rise of food-inspired colors? From “butter yellow” to “dark cherry,” the palette keeps evolving. Now, a fresh new shade is taking root—vibrant green.
Quite a different thing than olive. Brighter than the forest. Richer than mint. These greens come with a hint of yellow, giving them a lively, almost edible glow. They feel crisp, clean, and full of energy. Perfect for updating your wardrobe, home, or daily rituals. Curious how to bring these greens into your life? Keep reading to explore the freshest hue of the season.
Pistachio started the buzz
Pistachio took over runways for several seasons. Then in 2023, the shade truly broke out with the viral Dubai chocolate bar—a rich block of chocolate filled with pistachio cream and angel hair pasta. For spring/summer 2025, designers like Miu Miu and Prada leaned into the hue, showcasing it across breezy dresses and structured bags. The momentum continues into autumn, with the shade surfacing throughout the Autumn/Winter 2025 collections.
Saint Laurent channeled vivid ’80s energy with bold green silhouettes. Valentino embraced the look through sheer, punchy pistachio lace tights. The shade helped drive this summer’s statement dress moment and now plays beautifully with Pantone’s Mocha Mousse, creating a softer, more grounded color story for fall. As the weather shifts, layer with Sézane’s pistachio jumper for a seasonal refresh. Want to ease in? Accessorize with a luscious green bag, velvety ballerinas, or finish the look with a chunky resin ring from Arket. A little pistachio goes a long way.
Dill offers the next incarnation
Pinterest named “dill green” a standout shade in its 2025 Summer Trend Report, spotlighting its rise in both fashion and interiors. The color draws inspiration from herb gardens, fresh produce, and the mood of late-summer harvests. It fits neatly within the growing demand for biophilic design and nature-infused living. Pinterest reported a 601% increase in searches for “green sequin skirt outfit” and a 37% bump in “green linen pants men”, pointing to the shade’s versatility across gender and style. Dill green also complements Pinterest’s other nature-based forecasts, including Gen Z’s obsession with garden parties, digital homesteading in Roblox’s Grow a Garden, and the rise of the “Martha Stewart aesthetic”.
Additional search data shows an 80% rise in “green vibe”, 155% for “green kitchen designs”, and 100% for “pickle margarita”. The latter feeds into a broader briny moment—BYRDIE recently dubbed it “Pickle Girl Fall,” citing everything from Selena Gomez’s pickle birthday cake to Dua Lipa’s pickle soda as proof that fermented fun is officially taking over.
Symrise flagged the pistachio and dill trend early. Pistachio continues to gain traction, showing up in everything from knafeh cheesecake to cream-filled cinnamon rolls and green gelato. The nut stands out for its rich, buttery flavor and on top also as a more drought-tolerant alternative to almonds.
Dill, an herb from the celery family native to North Africa and Eurasia, adds crisp, aromatic notes across both culinary and cosmetic applications. Together, pistachio and dill blur the lines between flavor, function, and aesthetics. They appear in food, fragrance, and fashion—marking a broader shift toward grounded, sensory-led innovation. These greens offer more than color. They signal freshness, flexibility, and a growing appetite for nature-forward storytelling. Ready to explore what green can do for your next launch? Let pistachio and dill guide your next flavor, scent, or seasonal drop.
