Sap Green

Sap Green is a yellow-green pigment that is characterized by a wavelength of 590 nanometers when viewed under full spectrum white light. This particular hue is a result of a combination of the yellow and blue wavelengths that reflect off of the surface of the pigment when viewed. This hue is a result of the way in which the molecules of the pigment are arranged and the way in which they interact with different frequencies of light. Furthermore, the human eye is able to perceive this frequency as a distinct yellow-green color due to its ability to distinguish between the varying wavelengths.
