Japanese Color Atlas日本色譜びゃくろく · Whitish malachite · family green
白緑 (Byakuroku) is catalogued here as whitish malachite. Pale green pigment derived from ground malachite, used in Japanese painting.
Tobunken records the underlying color/material term in the Nara-period vocabulary database derived from 『大日本古文書』; this supports historical name attestation, not measured sRGB.
Name appears in at least one CC BY-SA Wikipedia traditional Japanese color list; HEX remains a Chroma Cathay digital approximation for design use.
Traditional color names predate modern screen color spaces, so this HEX value is a design approximation rather than a material measurement.
These entries preserve historical material, pigment, dye, or alternate-graph evidence without treating it as a direct HEX source for this color.
SOURCE BASIS Tobunken's 彩色DB records 白緑 (pale malachite) in Nara-period documents; CAMEO also catalogs it.
RELATIONSHIP 白緑 is the finely-ground, lighter grade of malachite (緑青), used for paler greens in painting.
CAVEAT Mineral pigment context only; whiteness depends on grind, so the HEX is an approximation.
