Olive
Do you want to use this color in your promotional items? Here's what you should know!
You may have heard the phrase, “extend an olive branch”. This idiom comes from Ancient Greece and means an offering of peace, friendship, healing, and reconciliation. The olive, and the dark green color it inspires, are symbols of those exact same feelings.
The color symbolism of olive comes from the Greek myth of the olive tree. As the story goes, Athena planted an olive tree as a symbol of peace to the people in Athens.
Examples of Olive Symbolism
Book a flight to Kalamata, Greece, a populous city famous for their olives. You can dine at the Yiamas Gastro Bar to enjoy a bit of Mediterranean cuisine as you peacefully sit near the water on their olive-colored deck.
Olive Garden believes “life is better together.” By dining at one of their restaurants, they want you to feel happy as you spend quality time with the ones you love. The olive green vine in their logo is the perfect symbol for this peace.
Olive green is a popular nail polish color. If you want to feel peace and healing, use it for your next manicure. You can even buy a bottle from Olive and June, a popular cosmetics company with the slogan, “Your BFF for all things nails.”
