} Charleston green is a very dark green color, nearly indistinguishable from black, commonly applied to exteriors and outdoor furniture in Charleston, South Carolina.

The color originated after the American Civil War, when the North provided black paint to the South for use in its reconstruction. Charlestonians mixed the black with a little bit of green and created Charleston green.

The Duron/Sherwin Williams color number for "historic charleston green" is DCR099. This is the color that is black unless the sun hits it just right, and then the color registers a deep, forest green.
