Hunter green
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hunter green is a color that is a representation of the color worn by hunters in the 19th Century. Most hunters began wearing the color olive drab instead of hunter green about the beginning of the 20th century. [1] Today, some hunters still wear hunter green clothes or hunter green bandanas.
