My piece for Light Grey Art Lab’s Color Anthropology show! Lincoln green is the color famously worn
My piece for Light Grey Art Lab’s Color Anthropology show! Lincoln green is the color famously worn by Robin Hood and his band of outlaws. It is named for the town of Lincoln, where dyers produced it by overdyeing blue cloth with yellow to create a rich green commonly worn by foresters and yeomen in 12th century England. It was the color of choice for Robin Hood and his fellow rogues, no doubt for its use as camouflage in the green shadows of Sherwood Forest. -- source link
