How this color came to be

Peter Griffin has worn the same green work trousers since Family Guy premiered on Fox in 1999. Paired with a white shirt, they're the most constant part of his silhouette — and the colour is a deep, almost forest green that resolves to #206603, or HSB(102°, 97%, 40%).

The dimension that defines this colour is brightness, not hue. At just 40%, this is a dark green — far darker than the grassy mid-greens most players reach for. The saturation is nearly maxed at 97%, so the colour is intense, but it's intensity in shadow: think pine needle, not lime.

The hue sits at 102°, a touch toward yellow from pure green (120°), which gives it a grassy rather than emerald cast. To match: push saturation almost to the top, drop brightness down past where it feels comfortable — into the low 40s — and keep the hue just on the yellow side of green.

How to match it from memory

Calibrated to this character's specific hex, not generic color advice.

  • Brightness is the trap — drop it to ~40%, much darker than instinct.
  • Saturation: ~97%, nearly maxed.
  • Hue: ~102°, a hair toward yellow from pure green.
  • Common mistake: too bright, landing in a grassy mid-green.
